Well, that’s a good question. White-collar crime is just a fancy word for saying business crimes. We all know what theft is. If I was to sneak up behind you on the street and reach my hand into your purse and take your wallet and run away, that’s a theft. If I was to burglarize your garage, that’s theft. The more complicated the plan is, the more it becomes fraud, which is theft without a plan by deceiving someone, and eventually, it becomes a business crime or a white-collar crime.

So imagine somebody going door-to-door selling something representing it’s for charity when it really is going right into their pocket. They’re lying to get money. That’s sort of a fraud case. In Minnesota, it’s frequently charged out as a theft by swindle. It’s about the same thing. But it may not rise to the level of – it’s not a very sophisticated white-collar offense because there’s no bricks and mortar business. It’s just a guy driving around in a car, knocking on doors.

But once you’re in a business that is defrauding people, whether it is not paying its proper level of taxes or charging people too much and pretending like you have charged them honestly – insider trading, cheating in the stock market. White-collar crime has a wide array of theft-related offenses that are committed under the umbrella of an operating business. It is sometimes an offense that – it is sometimes something that an employee has done without the knowledge of the corporation; it is sometimes something that is from the CEO on down, and so white-collar crimes – and there’s many, many, many of them – is another way of saying business crimes. They are sophisticated, complex theft offenses committed under the umbrella of a corporate or a business setting.
