Business 8th Edition by Marianne Jennings

Exercise 16

The state of Ohio had a statute that provided criminal penalties for anyone who "with intent to defraud... make[s] a check... or, with like intent, utter[s] or publishes] as true and genuine such false... matter, knowing it to be false... " Could a violation be established by showing that an individual wrote a check drawn on a bank at which he had no checking account? Is the proper intent established?
