What Is White Collar Crime?

White collar crime is generally defined as an illegal act using deceit and concealment to obtain money, property or services, or to gain a business or professional advantage. It is really a broad classification that relates to many crimes traditionally associated with business. In the United States today, white collar crimes may include not only corporate crimes, but also many computer crimes allegedly committed by smaller businesspeople with access to business connections and the Internet:

• Money laundering
• Embezzlement
• Computer crimes
• Insider trading
• Fraud
• Corporate theft
• Bribery

Many people are aware that they are being investigated for white collar crimes long before they are ever charged. They may learn that tax records are being reviewed or that bank files have been subpoenaed. This is the time to act. Contacting an attorney early can help you mitigate or avoid the impact of white collar crime charges.
