What civil rights does a person lose if convicted of a financial crime?
If a person is convicted of a financial crime (felony fraud) what civil rights will he lose? Will he still be able to have a gun? To vote? Hold public office? Serve on a jury? How long does the suspension of civil rights last?

That's handled at the state level, so, without knowing the specific state, it's hard to say. But certainly for the duration of the sentence those rights will be revoked. Once the sentence is over, some states restore some of those rights (like voting), some will never be restored (gun ownership, jury duty) unless the record is expunged or the person received a pardon.
