What is the difference between criminal fraud and civil fraud?

Civil fraud: Civil cases involve disputes between private parties,
aiming to resolve conflicts and provide remedies, such as monetary
awards allowing victims to recover losses due to deceit or
misrepresentation. Civil fraud can also involve enforcement
proceedings by government regulatory agencies.

Criminal fraud: These are actions deemed illegal by state laws or
federal statutes. The state or federal government prosecutes the
accused seeking penalties such as fines to punish the behavior.

determined they conspired to alter the former president's net worth
for tax and insurance benefits.  "
