White Collar Crime What are White Collar Crimes? White collar crimes are a variety of non-violent crimes usually committed in commercial or business situations for financial gain. Most of these crimes are prosecuted by the federal government and are very serious in nature. The term "White collar" refers to the fact that people who commit these crimes are usually high-powered professionals, and not "Blue-Collar" laborers. Common Examples of White Collar Crimes: Computer / Internet Fraud Applying for credit cards online under false names Unauthorized use of a computer or information on that computer Manipulation of computer files Computer sabotage / hacking Bankruptcy Fraud Misleading creditors Concealing assets from the bankruptcy court Bribery Offering of money or anything of value which is used for the purpose of influencing the actions of the decision maker Credit Card Fraud Unauthorized use of a credit card Identity theft Counterfeiting Coping or imitating an item without authorization with the intention to try and pass it off as the genuine article This is mostly associated with money but can also apply to drivers' licenses, immigration papers, or any other important documents

Topic 8 White Collar-Crime What is white-collar crime? White-collar crime denotes an array of fraudulent schemes, corruptions and commercial offenses perpetrated by con-men, businessmen and public officials alike. Its current usage includes a broad range of non-violent offenses where cheating, dishonesty and corruption are the central elements of the crime. These offenses are also referred to as “crimes of deception,” "commercial crime," "business crime," “economic crimes” or "economic offenses". The intended obfuscation of white-collar crimes makes investigation difficult. Under current law many investigations of white-collar crimes must not only show that harm has befallen the victim, but they must also establish criminal intent (as opposed to honest mistakes). Combined with the intended obfuscation this makes white-collar crime investigation very expensive. Notice this is different from “street” crime where if someone is injured by another and intent cannot be established the perpetrator is still found guilty of something, such as when a gun accidentally goes off and someone is killed. Another handicap is that white-collar crime fighters must compete for resources that would otherwise be spent on enforcing violent crimes which are immediate and therefore more “scary” to the public. I cannot emphasize these last two points enough – these are the cold economic reasons why white-collar crime is not enforced as vigorously as street crimes; of course there are political issues too.

Thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today on the topic of white-collar crime enforcement and sentencing. For the record, I am a Senior Legal Research Fellow in the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, an independent research and educational organization. I am also an Adjunct Professor of Law at George Mason University where I teach Criminal Procedure and an advanced seminar on White Collar and Corporate Crime. I am a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School and a former law clerk to Chief Judge Anderson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. For much of the past 15 years I have served as a prosecutor in the Department of Justice and elsewhere, prosecuting white-collar offenses. During the two years immediately prior to joining The Heritage Foundation, I was in private practice representing principally white-collar criminal defendants. The title of this hearing "Penalties for White Collar Offenses: Are We Really Getting Tough On Crime?" poses an empirical question. But before addressing it directly allow me a few preliminary observations.

Links Web Design by Homicide Crimes WHITE COLLAR CRIME Unlike most "common law" crimes (murder, burglary, rape, assault and battery, etc), in white collar cases there is generally evidence that the client was involved in the activity charged. The question for the jury is often, "was the activity a crime?" White collar cases may be charged in state and federal courts. In white collar matters there are unique opportunities to win the case if the client cooperates with counsel and has resources for expert witnesses and attorneys fees, access to relevant records, and has a creative attorney who "thinks outside the box." White collar cases require attention to detail and a challenge to conventional thinking and a willingness to challenge the system itself. Those are our trademarks. If you are contacted by the FBI, Secret Service, IRS Special Agents or Inspector General Agents, you should seek counsel immediately. The attorney's actions prior to indictment or arrest often can be as important as the actions taken after indictment.

Forgery Categories Embezzlement The illegal transfer of money or property that, although possessed legally by the embezzler, is diverted to the embezzler personally by his or her fraudulent action. For example, an employee would embezzle money from the employer or a public officer could embezzle money received during the course of their public duties and secretly convert it to their personal use. Perjury n. the crime of intentionally lying after being duly sworn (to tell the truth) by a notary public, court clerk or other official. This false statement may be made in testimony in court, administrative hearings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, as well as by signing or acknowledging a written legal document (such as affidavit, declaration under penalty of perjury, deed, license application, tax return) known to contain false information. Although it is a crime, prosecutions for perjury are rare, because a defendant will argue he/she merely made a mistake or misunderstood.

Case Updates Government regulatory schemes have become enormously complex. Fines and other sanctions are soaring. Federal and state enforcement agencies now resort to vaguely worded laws to prosecute crimes that did not previously exist. Under "whistle-blower" laws, employees and competitors have financial incentives to accuse employers and others of wrongdoing. As a result, businesses and their employees are more vulnerable than ever to the scrutiny of law enforcement authorities. Even the threat of prosecution is a serious matter, because an unfounded allegation of wrongdoing can have a devastating impact on the reputation, good will and financial security of a company or an individual.

April 2002 - VOLUME 23 - NUMBER 4 N A M E S I N T H E N E W S The General Accounting Office (GAO) in March released two reports documenting how early claims made by Boeing and its subcontractor TRW about the success of antimissile-sensor technology were greatly exaggerated. Problems mounted when a lawsuit brought against TRW by a former employee, Dr. Nira Schwartz, alleged that the company not only used faulty algorithms in designing the test but that the company also later manipulated results. MIT physicist and missile defense critic Theodore Postol and others, including the TRW whistle blower, a TRW retiree, and a Department of Defense investigator, refused to let the issue die, prompting an 18-month investigation that culminated in the GAO report. The importance of these types of problems in the test results were not disclosed to the government until after Schwartz raised formal complaints, according to GAO. Even then, the contractors revealed problems only to low-level government officials in the project management office through undocumented oral briefings and later through a highly technical internal Boeing document. Lead Crime In the first-ever criminal prosecution in the United States related to failure to give lead hazard warnings, a Washington, D.C.-area landlord was sentenced in March to two years in federal prison for failing to give warnings to tenants that are required by the federal Lead Hazard Reduction Act of 1992.

Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) How to Report Internet-Related Crime Internet-related crime, like any other crime, should be reported to appropriate law enforcement investigative authorities at the local, state, federal, or international levels, depending on the scope of the crime. Citizens who are aware of federal crimes should report them to local offices of federal law enforcement. Some federal law enforcement agencies that investigate domestic crime on the Internet include: the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) , the United States Secret Service , the United States Customs Service , the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) . Each of these agencies has offices conveniently located in every state to which crimes may be reported. Contact information regarding these local offices may be found in local telephone directories. In general, federal crime may be reported to the local office of an appropriate law enforcement agency by a telephone call and by requesting the "Duty Complaint Agent." Each law enforcement agency also has a headquarters (HQ) in Washington, D.C., which has agents who specialize in particular areas. For example, the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service both have headquarters-based specialists in computer intrusion (i.e., computer hacker) cases. The
