The term white-collar crime is now synonymous with the full range of frauds committed by business and government professionals. In most cases, white collar crime charges are handled in federal courts rather than state courts. Individuals arrested or under investigation for white collar crime offenses will likely face an aggressive, resourceful prosecution and harsh sentences if convicted.
Some examples of white collar crimes and public corruption crimes include:
- Employee theft: embezzlement, trade secret theft, illegal kickbacks
- Tax fraud/income tax evasion
- Insurance fraud: Medicare fraud, Workers’ Compensation fraud
- Internet crimes: phishing scams, computer fraud
- Identity theft: check fraud, forgery, credit card fraud
- Fraud: mail fraud, bank fraud, mortgage fraud, health care fraud
- Other white collar crime: conspiracy, perjury, extortion, money laundering, RICO violations, bribery, immigration violations, gun crimes
