Whether a contractual right to payment constitutes ownership of money

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a contractual right to payment constitutes ownership of money, such that a defendant can properly be convicted under a federal statute criminalizing possession of stolen property for breaching a contractual obligation to pay. 2. Whether a defendant’s conviction for possession of stolen property—premised on breach of a contractual obligation to pay, with no jury finding of fraudulent intent—violates the prohibition on imprisonment for debt.
