[blindLaw] white collar crimes

[Singh, Nandini]

A white collar crime is an offense that usually takes place in a traditional office, i.e. a white collar job. They rarely involve violence or physical evidence. The most familiar white collar crimes are financial, like embezzlement, money laundering, or various frauds: wire, mail, securities, bank. Sometimes these offenses are particular to an industry, such as criminal misbranding of drugs or medical devices, something unique to pharmaceutical companies. Other times, it is easier to think of the offense as falling within a particular statute, like issues arising from the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or criminal antitrust provisions.
