Understanding White Collar Crime
White collar crimes are non-violent offenses typically committed by individuals or organizations in the course of their occupation or business activities. These offenses often involve deceit, concealment, or violation of trust for financial gain. Common examples of white collar crimes include:
- Fraud: This umbrella term encompasses various forms of deception, including securities fraud, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, wire fraud, and Medicare fraud. Medicare fraud involves submitting false claims to Medicare for reimbursement of healthcare services that were never provided or were medically unnecessary.
- Embezzlement: The misappropriation of funds or property entrusted to one’s care, often committed by employees or fiduciaries.
- Tax Evasion: The illegal avoidance of paying taxes by intentionally underreporting income, overstating deductions, or hiding assets.
- Insider Trading: The illegal buying or selling of securities based on non-public, material information.
- Money Laundering: The process of concealing the origins of illegally obtained money through a series of complex financial transactions.
