Types of White Collar Crimes

Credit Card Fraud
This offense is broadly defined, but deals with any form of theft relating to credit cards. This is closely connected to the crime of identity theft.

Money Laundering
This is a way in which individuals steal funds by covering up the source. This type of crime can get intricate because the money changes hands so that no one will be able to determine the source.

Embezzlement

Tax Fraud
Evading taxes can be done by concealing assets and income from the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). This is a form of fraud or misrepresentation.

RICO
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is an act that was introduced in the United States in 1970. It lists the penalties for participating or enabling organized crime (racketeering).
