Attempts to Commit Offences
A person abets doing a thing if they: (a) instigate someone to do it; (b) engage in a conspiracy with others to do it, where an act/illegal omission occurs in pursuance of that conspiracy toward doing it; or (c) intentionally aid its doing by an act or illegal omission. Wilful misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact one is bound to disclose, causing/procuring (or attempting to cause/procure) a thing to be done, counts as instigation; facilitating an act's commission (before or during it) counts as aiding.
This defines "abetment" - the legal concept covering three distinct ways of being criminally responsible for someone else's act without directly doing it yourself: instigating (encouraging/inciting) it, conspiring toward it, or knowingly aiding it. This is the foundational concept for prosecuting people who play a supporting role in a crime rather than committing the core criminal act themselves.
In a scam operation, someone who deceitfully instigates another person into wiring money to a fraudulent account (by wilfully misrepresenting facts) is guilty of abetment through instigation, even if they never directly received or handled the stolen money themselves.
