The term is not a matter of the relative severity of the illegal act itself, but as a matter of the potential sentence. (Clearly, the greater the relative severity of the crime, the more likely it will be classified as a felony.)

The question is - is it wire fraud?
As one would expect from reading the indictment, the feds clearly think it is, which justifies their involvement.
