John is a black hat hacker. FBI arrested him while performing some email scams. Under which of the following US laws will john be charged?

18 U.S.C. 2701 addresses unlawful access to stored wire and electronic communications, not active fraud schemes like email scams.

18 U.S.C. 1030, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), is the primary federal statute covering unauthorized computer access, computer fraud, and related offenses including email-based scams. It broadly criminalizes intentional unauthorized access to computers to obtain information, commit fraud, or cause damage. John's email scam activity directly falls within its scope of prohibited conduct.

18 U.S.C. 1362 covers malicious destruction of or interference with government communication systems, which does not apply here.

18 U.S.C. 2510 provides definitional language for the Wiretap Act (Title III) and does not itself criminalize computer fraud or email scams.
