As any experienced Los Angeles Federal Criminal Defense Attorney can attest, there are many crimes that are considered federal criminal offenses. Violent crimes are certainly capable of being tried under the umbrella of a federal criminal court, but, as a Los Angeles Federal Criminal Defense Attorney knows, white collar crimes land many people in federal courts and prisons every year. But what exactly are white collar crimes? The experienced Los Angeles Federal Criminal Defense Attorney knows that white collar crimes encompass a number of criminal offenses, most of them having to do with money: money laundering, tax evasion, fraud and bank or bankruptcy fraud, bribery, counterfeiting, insider trading, identity theft, extortion, embezzlement, a wide variety of computer crimes and even forgery. White collar crimes get their name from the people that, historically, investigate them. Whereas local law enforcement agencies such as police or the county sheriff tend to investigate local crimes such as violent crimes, investigators from government agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) investigate more white collar crimes because they tend to cross state boundaries. And whereas uniforms for local police have traditionally been blue, federal investigators tend to wear white buttoned down collared shirts to perform their work. According to statistics, white collar crimes cost the United States $300 billion every year, and because of this, federal investigators and prosecutors pursue leads and criminal charges aggressively.
