Denver, CO criminal defense attorney David Lindsey discusses white collar crime in CO. He explains that white-collar crimes primarily revolve around financial matters. These offenses typically involve money and include embezzlement cases where individuals are accused of inappropriately acquiring funds, such as stealing from their employers or diverting money for personal gain. We also commonly come across instances where bank employees face legal consequences for their actions. Another form of white-collar crime is Securities fraud, which falls under the purview of the Securities Regulation Act in Colorado. This act, established during the Great Depression, is comprehensive and stringent in its provisions. Violations of securities regulations can occur unknowingly, and individuals may find themselves facing charges related to securities violations without being fully aware of their involvement in the securities realm.
