Types of White Collar Crimes

The criminal justice system typically defines a white collar crime as one that does not involve violence but instead uses professional deception to extort or coerce unsuspecting victims or to gain finances illegitimately.

Commonly cited types of white collar crimes include financial theft and:

• Embezzlement
• Fraud
• Mail fraud
• Money laundering
• Counterfeiting

What are the Penalties for White Collar Crimes in California?

If the extent of a white collar crime is suspected to be great, it is likely that federal investigators will be brought in to assist the prosecution. In turn, federal charges can spike the severity of sentencing upon conviction.

Company executives found to have engaged in white collar crimes can be:

• Imprisoned for years
• Charged hundreds of thousands in fines
• Lose any related professional licenses

Beyond the criminal aspects of punishment, a corporation’s reputation and good name can be entirely destroyed by a white collar conviction, making it impossible for that company to exist any longer, even after sentencing requirements are met. For this reason and many more, it is paramount that a strong defense is gathered as soon as possible.
