Consequences of a White Collar/Financial Crime Conviction
Depending on the circumstances of the alleged crime, white collar/financial crimes may either be prosecuted in state law or federal court. Many white collar/financial cases are treated as federal crimes given that they involve interstate commerce, which falls under the jurisdiction of the federal Department of Justice and its various law enforcement agencies. Whether the case goes to a state or federal court, you could be facing penalties including prison, steep fines and a lengthy probation. To make matters worse, a conviction would leave you with a criminal record which could have a devastating effect on your professional reputation and future opportunities.
