White-collar crime

White-collar crime is a type of crime that usually involves cheating or dishonesty in business or financial matters. It is a nonviolent crime that is committed by people who work in offices or other professional settings. Examples of white-collar crimes include fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and insider trading.

  • A company executive who steals money from the company's accounts and uses it for personal expenses is committing embezzlement.
  • A stockbroker who uses insider information to make trades and profit illegally is committing insider trading.
  • A politician who accepts money from a company in exchange for political favors is committing bribery.
  • A business owner who creates fake invoices to overcharge customers is committing fraud.

These examples illustrate how white-collar crimes involve dishonesty and deception in business or financial matters. They are usually committed by people who have access to sensitive information or who hold positions of power and trust. White-collar crimes can have serious consequences for individuals and society as a whole, including financial losses, damage to reputations, and erosion of trust in institutions.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
