What is Considered a White Collar Crime?

White-collar crime is a non-violent, financially motivated crime typically committed by individuals, businesses, or government officials in positions of trust and authority. These crimes are characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust, and they are often committed for financial gain. White-collar crimes are usually complex and involve manipulation or abuse of positions of power or privilege.

Common types of white-collar crimes include:

• Fraud: Fraud is a broad category of white-collar crime that encompasses various deceptive practices to obtain money, goods, or services through false pretenses. Common types of fraud include:

  • Consumer Fraud: Consumer fraud encompasses various scams and schemes that target individuals, such as pyramid schemes, telemarketing fraud, or internet fraud.
• Money Laundering: Money laundering is the process of disguising the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions to make it appear legitimate.
• Tax Evasion: Tax evasion involves the illegal act of not paying taxes owed to the government by underreporting income, inflating deductions, or using illegal offshore accounts to hide money.
• Bribery and Corruption: This includes offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in a position of authority. It can occur in both public and private sectors.
• Insider Trading: Insider trading is the illegal buying or selling of securities based on material nonpublic information. This type of crime often occurs within publicly traded companies.

• Forgery: Forgery is the creation of fake documents, signatures, or instruments with the intent to defraud, typically for financial gain.

White-collar crimes can have significant economic and social consequences, and they are typically investigated and prosecuted by government agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), depending on the nature of the crime and its jurisdiction. Penalties for white-collar crimes can include fines, restitution, probation, and imprisonment.
