Press Release Summary: (AP) White-collar crime is becoming more insidious each passing day. People feel they're invisible and untouchable when they commit this type of crime. They aren't.
Press Release Body: White-collar crime is called many things, but in essence it's comes in two flavors - blue collar and white-collar crime. White-collar crime is almost considered to be a badge of honor, since it's an intricate crime requiring a lot of planning.
A seemingly respectable person working at a seemingly ordinary job usually perpetrates it. It could be insider trading, computer crimes or bankruptcy fraud or any of the other categories covered later in this release.
Read the headlines; watch TV for the numbers of people that try to get away with bankruptcy fraud. This involves hiding assets when bankruptcy is filed. The government takes a really dim view of this kind of crime.
The government isn't thrilled with this practice largely because the person doing it gets funds back from the same people they owe money to who are helping to get the person back on their feet. Concealing assets or money is stealing and committing the criminal offense of white-collar crime.
The 21st century has brought with it a whole rash of computer crimes. The perfect almost anonymous crimes perpetrated by using the Internet. The biggest crime is identity theft, causing the victim untold anguish and harm - mostly involving destroying their credit rating.
This happens more often than people think and yet they still don't take the kinds of precautions they should to protect themselves from losing their identities. Identity theft is easy as thousands of Americans buy products online with credit cards and their information is hacked.
It might only start out with the stolen card, but escalates with frightening rapidity into complete identity theft. All this with a few clicks of the mouse and suddenly the person doesn't exist as who they were any longer.
This particular crime is perhaps the most heinous as it happens in the blink of an eye and is a complex crime getting harder to manage thanks to rapidly advancing technology.
Others areas of white-collar crime are embezzlement when someone takes property without consent; bribery; larceny when someone takes another's property without payment and doesn't bring it back; extortion (blackmail) and obstruction of justice where a person gets in the way of an investigation. Many people don't realize that perjury is a white-collar crime that happens when someone lies under oath in court.
Hiring an attorney familiar with handling white-collar crime cases will help mitigate the extent of the possible punishment meted out after trial. Don't attempt to be the lawyer in instances like this. It's like that saying, "He who has himself for a lawyer is a fool."
