What Kinds of Penalties Do You Face for a White Collar Crime in New Jersey?

“White collar crime” is a general term that refers to criminal offenses that involve business or financial deception. Examples of white collar crimes include:

• Business fraud: New Jersey law prohibits the owner or operator of a business from engaging in unconscionable commercial practices, such as defrauding or deceiving customers, defrauding other businesses, or writing bad checks.
• Embezzlement: A person entrusted to manage someone else’s property or money is held to a high standard because they are in a special position of trust. When that person violates their position of trust and commits a theft, they may face embezzlement charges.
• Computer crimes: Unauthorized computer intrusion, such as computer hacking, is prohibited by law because it often leads to theft and fraud. An experienced attorney can scrutinize the methods used by police to gather evidence of theft on the Internet.
• Identity theft: NJ law prohibits individuals from stealing another person’s identity. Forged signatures and fake IDs are often used to access a person’s credit card numbers, social security number, and bank account information.

If you are convicted of a white collar crime in New Jersey, the consequences can be severe. You face not only prison time, but also a criminal record that will prevent you from getting a job or doing business in the future.
