White collar crimes encompass a broad range of non-violent, financially motivated offenses that typically involve deceit or breach of trust. Common examples include fraud, embezzlement, insider trading, and money laundering.
These crimes are heavily scrutinized by both state and federal authorities and can result in severe penalties, such as substantial fines, restitution payments, and lengthy prison sentences.
