You know, I don't often post on crap like this, and I don't even know Craig,
but apparently you have an uncontrollable desire to make him look bad in the
eyes of the list - unfortunately, you only make yourself look bad by your
petty remarks, not to mention your piss-poor amateur lawyering. Grow up, or
at least spare the list from your whining.
FYI, the section of Virginia law you quote also has a part where it
specifies that in order to be guilty, the person must have "intent to
defraud" - obviously Craig does not intend to defraud anyone, hence his
efforts to raise the money in time.
Gee, and I figured that out in 30 seconds of Googling...

Craig,
Since you brought it up, this is what I wrote. Am I wrong?
My assumption is you were not thinking when you put this statement in
writing for a few hundred people to see:
don't usually write checks with no funds to back them up, but... no guts, no
glory!!!
Virginia law is this:
*The crime is committed when the maker delivers (utters) the check*. The
jurisdiction of the offense is where the check is delivered. For example, if
a person who lives in Fairfax County writes a bad check to a merchant in
Alexandria, the crime occurred in the City of Alexandria.
Under Section 18.2-181 and for punishment purposes, a person is guilty of
larceny when the bad check is written. Therefore, a check written for the
amount of *$200 or more constitutes Grand Larceny, a felony* , and a check
written for less than $200 constitutes Petit Larceny, a misdemeanor
So you just admitted to a felony, wether or not the check clears next week
