=== What can count as gain or loss? ===
s 5(2):

* “Gain” and “loss”:
** Extend '''only''' to gain or loss in '''money or other property'''.
** Include such gain or loss whether '''temporary or permanent'''.

“Property” here:

* '''Any property''', whether '''real or personal''', including '''things in action''' and '''other intangible property'''.

Contrasts with '''theft''':

* In theft, the scope of “property” – especially '''real property''' and some intangibles – is more restricted.
* For fraud, gain/loss can involve '''any kind of property''', including real property, choses in action and intangibles.

Also:

* In theft, '''intention to permanently deprive''' is usually required.
* For fraud, intended gain or loss can be '''temporary''' (e.g. lying to postpone a payment).
