The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Molinaro, 11 F.3d 853 (9th Cir. 1992):
The government argues we are constrained by our decision in United States v. Poliak, 823 F.2d 371, 372 (9th Cir.1987), to interpret the bank fraud statute as we interpreted the statute on which it was modeled--the mail fraud statute--which criminalizes each use of the mails in furtherance of a scheme to defraud.
