Penalties for White Collar Crimes
Almost all white collar crimes are felony criminal offenses. If you are convicted on white collar crime charges, you will be sentenced to a number of life-altering legal penalties, such as long prison sentences, probation, extremely high fines, and community service. In addition, you will also be required to pay restitution to the victim for the damage you have caused. Far more troubling is the damage to your reputation. You no longer will be considered a respectable, upstanding member of society, and you will have difficultly finding future employment. Your personal relationships are also likely to suffer as well.
