Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

hi, i was working in a bank in the uk, in trading and got accused with fraud a couple of hundred thousand $. the SEC is after me.

1) Are the charges going to be criminal or civil for a fraud?

2) In case i get charged in the US am i going to be chased abroad in the UK or other countries like morocco or algeria?

3) Can the bank go to court in the UK and get me charged, am i going to be chased abroad?

4) The SEC frooze all my assets, so it is impossible to get a lawyer in USA as all of them need to be paid before solving the case. Can you advise a solution or a law firm that can help in this situation?

Mant thanks.

Complicated Question. Based on your facts, the case will probably be criminal. Depending what the charges are, they may try to extradite you from another country. You may call the office if you want to discuss the case further.
