DEFINING WHITE-COLLAR CRIME
It is difficult to provide an exact definition of white-collar crime. Even the Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that there is no definitive consensus on the term.
In general, white-collar crime is described as an offense of the law through non-violent means. It does not include “street crimes” like arson, breaking-and-entering, or motor vehicle theft, or person-to-person crimes like assault or statutory rape.
White-collar crimes can be committed by an individual or organization. They often occur in the financial sector, but they can also occur in a governmental setting.
The offenders are not who we normally picture when we think of criminals. They are usually people in respectable positions and hold high statuses in their industries.
EXAMPLES OF WHITE-COLLAR CRIME
White-collar crime is generally accepted as non-violent and typically involves fraud and/or finances, so many offenses that affect businesses or high-value individuals fall into this category. Some examples include:
- Corporate fraud
- Bank fraud
- Insurance fraud
- Consumer fraud
- Medical fraud
- Embezzlement
- Cybercrime
- Money laundering
- Forgery
- Identity theft
- Insider trading
- Bribery
- Ponzi schemes
Though thorough, this list is certainly not exhaustive. During your free consultation with Mike G Law, we will help you understand if your case is considered a white-collar crime or classified as something else.
HOW WILL A WHITE-COLLAR CRIME ALLEGATION AFFECT ME?
Some people may shrug their shoulders at the concept of white-collar crime. It does not involve physical danger to anyone’s life or physical safety, so what is the harm?
A white-collar crime allegation is something to take very seriously. If you do not handle it correctly, you will face various consequences like:
- A loss of financial security. The fallout from a white-collar crime can negatively affect the offender’s assets. In addition to the losses they may experience, they may be required to pay additional fines or retributions. This will put them further into debt and make it more difficult for them to recover financially.
- Jail time. If you are found guilty of a white-collar crime, you can face up to years of probation or jail time, depending on the severity of your offense.
- Community service. Even if you are not sentenced to jail time or probation, you may be required to complete community service. This will stay on your record for some time, which can make it difficult to find new employment.
- Damaged reputation. Have you spent years establishing your own company? Or, maybe you worked your way up to a respectable position in a government-related field. Whatever the case may be, a white-collar crime allegation can put all your hard work at risk. Years of building a name and career for yourself can be swept away from a white-collar crime charge. Following this kind of serious allegation, it can be very difficult to get back on your feet in the professional world. You may never be able to fully regain the trust of clients or superiors.
Being accused of a crime can also damage someone’s connections with their family and community, so it’s important to take charges seriously. Here at Mike G Law, we treat every case with the respect and discretion it deserves.
Our goal is to protect your rights in court, no matter your situation or what you’re accused of. A conviction could put a company’s solvency in jeopardy, cost investors millions, or wipe out a family’s savings. We’re here to help keep that from happening.
