Common Types of White Collar Crimes in Dallas

• Embezzlement: Embezzlement is one of the more common white collar crimes prosecuted in the state of Texas. It refers to any act in which an individual entrusted with assets withholds the assets for the purpose of theft. Embezzlement is commonly committed by employees and professionals who have access to other's funds.

• Counterfeiting & Forgery: A person can be charged with forgery when they alter, make, or authenticate any writing to fraudulently obtain services or funds. There are many elements inherent to this charge, including the nature of the forgery and its intended purpose.

• Tax Fraud: Fraud is a term that refers to a variety of charges, all of which involve intentional deception as a means with which to obtain money or services. Common examples include securities fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, credit card fraud, and others. Although all fraud allegations are considered a serious offense, certain charges may be prosecuted as a federal crime.

• Welfare Fraud: As our nation's economy becomes increasingly tightened, law enforcement agencies are motivated to stop those who fraudulently obtain benefits from the federal government. When a person deceives or misrepresents themselves, falsifies documents, or commits any other fraudulent act in order to obtain welfare benefits, they can be charged with a federal crime.

• Bribery: When a person promises money or something else of value in an attempt to influence the views or decision-making of individuals or corporations. Bribery typically involves public officials or those in power.

• Mail & Wire Fraud: This involves the usage of phone, email, mail, or other electronic means to commit fraudulent schemes, such as deceiving someone into sending you money. Some common schemes include pyramid schemes, charity scams, work-from home scams, and more.

• Money Laundering: This refers to concealing how money was obtained, usually because it was obtained by illegal means. Money laundering can be wired through different institutions or through a business to hide its trail.
