What Is White-Collar Crime?

When people think of white-collar crime, they often envision gangsters, mobs, crime rings, and other organized offenses. Much of this imagery comes from the movies, as Hollywood has made cinematic efforts to depict some of the most notorious and notable mafia and mob prosecutions of all time. However, such stereotypes are not the only examples of white-collar crime. In fact, white-collar crime can involve very inconspicuous transactions. In general, they are non-violent crimes, often dealing with money theft, general fraud, and social scams.

White-collar crime is prosecuted through federal laws or New York's legal system. Prosecutors are quick to punish white-collar offenders and do not hesitate to impose significant penalties such as hefty fines and ample time behind bars.

While authorities remain aggressive in pursuing offenders of white-collar crime, it is not hard for a person to be unintentionally brought into a scheme and be unaware of the criminal repercussions. For those accused of a financially motivated crime, it is helpful to retain a qualified New York City white-collar crime lawyer who can challenge any allegations.

Defense for White Collar Criminal Cases

Consequences of a white-collar crime conviction include jail time, fines, and more. Depending on the terms of your crime or the results of an accusation, you might be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony.

Types of white-collar crimes we defend against include:

• Medicare fraud
• Piracy or intellectual property theft
• Tax fraud
• Social Security fraud
• Internet crimes
• Illegal pharmacies
• Money laundering
• Mail and wire fraud
• Identity theft
• Credit card left
• Embezzlement
• Forgery

Ultimately, these schemes make up the most common federal offenses; however, there are several other types of federal white-collar crimes. Again, many offenses overlap in nature and are chargeable under both state and federal laws. Many methods involve several defendants and several different criminal elements. For this reason, it helps to have legal assistance when facing such accusations.
