White Collar Crimes
‘White collar’ crimes are generally those crimes committed by business individuals that are felonious but generally do not involve violence. The generally involve some aspect of fraud (e.g. mail fraud, MediCal and /or Medicare fraud, medical insurance fraud, securities fraud, welfare fraud & workers compensation fraud), but also include embezzlement (Penal Code 503), bribery (Penal Code 92), forgery (Penal Code 470), gambling (Penal Code 330), misappropriation of public funds(Penal Code 424), and a host of other wrongful nonviolent misconduct.
