A nonviolent crime done for financial benefit is known as white-collar crime. “These crimes are marked by deception, concealment, or violation of trust,” according to the FBI, a major agency that investigates these acts. “To gain or avoid losing money, property, or services, or to secure a personal or business advantage,” is the reason for these crimes.
Securities fraud, embezzlement, corporate fraud, and money laundering are examples of white-collar crimes. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), and state agencies all investigate white-collar crime in addition to the FBI.
