Notes
Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 424 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 249, 35 Stat. 1139). Words “within the United States” were substituted for “within the jurisdiction of the United States”. See section 5 of this title defining “United States”. Provision for division of the fine and its recovery by private person was omitted. (See reviser’s note under section 1585 of this title.) Mandatory-punishment provisions were rephrased in the alternative. Minor changes were made in phraseology.
Editorial Notes
Amendments1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted “fined under this title” for “fined not more than $5,000”.
