Therefore, one could not prosecute them. I have a concern about recklessness being added to our toolbox in the context of theft and fraud. It narrows the scope to have to identify a victim of the activity as opposed to focusing on the conduct of the individual and his or her recklessness, whether there is a victim at that point or not. The intention here should be to ensure there is no victim at any point. It is about the conduct of the individual.
