Wage theft. Fraud. Bribery. Ponzi schemes. Insider trading. Labor racketeering. Embezzlement. Cybercrime. Copyright infringement. Money laundering. Identity theft. Forgery. Cooking the books. According with That Other Wiki, these are all white-collar crimes, the sort executed by well-educated executives, lawyers, or business people. In place of the guns and knives used by street criminals, white collar criminals use front organizations, laptops, forged documents and scams to steal money and other assets in a systematic and large-scale way. The Enron scandal in Real Life raised awareness about these sort of criminals. If the perpetrators are caught, fiction will often portray them as going to a Luxury Prison Suite or getting a plea bargain and facing house arrest and probation. How often this happens in Real Life (and to what degree) varies based on the severity of their crime, who was victimized and the public demands for justice. An executive who swindles a few wealthy people won't generate huge public calls for justice. However, an Amoral Attorney who scams thousands of poor retired couples out of their life savings may generate widespread calls for justice, so they may get a lengthy sentence. Forensic Accounting is the most common tool for detecting such crimes, which is why sleuths are often advised to "Follow the money". The Intimidating Revenue Service also often has a hand in busting white-collar criminals, perhaps partly because local cops may lack the expertise to analyze sophisticated financial dealings. The supertrope of Stealing from the Till, Penny Shaving, Fake Charity, 419 Scam, and Ponzi. If a religious organization is used as a means to scam people out of money, see Path of Inspiration. Compare the Corrupt Corporate Executive, who will often be involved in this. It's important to note that this type of crime could be considered the evolution of organized crime and The Mafia in general, since in times where there is more police technology and violence draws too much attention, the vast majority of the most professional criminal organizations have opted for semi-legitimate, less violent systems. Not to be confused with Sinister Minister; that's a different kind of white collar. |

Related to the above, the actions of the Duke brothers in Trading Places (using inside information to try and corner the frozen concentrate orange juice market) were unethical and deceptive, but, at the time, not illegal in the commodities market (unlike the stock and bonds market). In fact, the movie was cited when they finally made it illegal in 2010, even being dubbed "The Eddie Murphy Rule". | |

Boiler Room focuses on dishonest shysters offering deals Too Good to Be True to unsuspecting investors who want to make a quick buck on the stock market. The marks are unaware it's a "pump-and-dump" scam, where the scammers create fake demand for these phony companies and penny stocks before dumping their holdings so the stock price crashes. Even the protagonist is unaware of J.T. Marlin's shady rep. He only realizes it's a con when he snoops around to check the firm's records. Wracked with guilt, he decides to shut down the firm for good by cooperating with the FBI in exchange for a light sentence. Director Ben Younger stated he was inspired by the real-life rise and fall of Stratton Oakmont and other "boiler room" brokerages that went bust in the late 1990s. |

While Gordon Gekko was inspired by many corporate raiders of the 1980s, it was Ivan Boesky who served as the basis for this character, including the famous "Greed is good" line. Boesky made his fortune in corporate takeovers, some of which were brazen, with massive purchases occurring only a few days before a corporation announced a takeover. Although this was illegal at the time, prosecutions were rare until Boesky was prosecuted for insider trading, earning him a prison sentence of 3 and a half years and a fine of $100 million. This forced him to cooperate with the federal government and testify against Michael Milken, a Wall Street financier known for funding hostile takeovers, and although he was released after two years, Boesky was banned from working in the securities industry. In addition to the above, this is how Drexel Burnham Lambert was brought down, due to the machinations of Michael Milken, the junk bond king. He was known for financing leveraged buyouts, including that of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts' run on RJR Nabisco. After Boesky decided to inform on Milken, Rudy Giuliani, the aggressive US Attorney who went after The Mafia, decided to probe Drexel and Milken. For two years, Drexel denied any criminality, but Giuliani wouldn't have any and threatened to press racketeering charges on Milken. As the result of a plea bargain, he pled guilty to lesser charges of securities fraud and served 2 years in prison. Plus, while Drexel ducked a racketeering indictment, its reputation was shattered to the point that it went bankrupt in 1990. If that wasn't worse, it gave leveraged buyouts and speculative-grade debt ("junk-rated" bonds) a bad name. |

The focus of the drama/thriller Margin Call, is a fictionalized account of the 2008 Wall Street financial crisis. And yet it is NOT a straight case. A major point of the film is that their actions, while certainly deceptive and unethical, aren't actually illegal. Technically (purely technically), no crimes were committed. Which of course leads to the assumption that all ensuing events and their consequences condemn the fact that such techniques were legal to begin with. | |

Discworld: Going Postal and Making Money deal with the finances of the Grand Trunks company cheating the inventor of the system out of his company and property, and crooked bank managers playing their own games with the banks, respectively. Boxed Crook Moist Von Lipwig is the hero of the two books, and probably one of the most honest people in those two books. As it seems he's been set up to reform Ankh-Morpork's tax system, we can only wonder who has been stealing from whom. |

Former Colombo capo turned Internet personality Michael Franzese once concocted a gasoline tax evasion scheme with The Mafiya by falsifying records and setting up a daisy chain of shell companies to "sell" the gas. The scheme worked with the gas being sold to one company, but shipped to another company, while the front company "sold" the gas on paper and forged the records for the company that received the gas. To hide the profits, Franzese allegedly laundered the money through his film production company to offshore bank accounts. | |

Refreshing Stories: In this story, the Chairman frames Hiroshi for his embezzling money from the company and orders his son the President to fire him. However, Hiroshi had the safe with the embezzled assets switched with a dummy filled with memo papers and then exposes his crime to the shareholders, which leaves the former Chairman destitute and with no reason to live. After finding out Yumi was married, her lover Manato exposed the fact that she forged numbers and documents to cover up her mistakes, even forcing her subordinates to do the same. The ensuing complaints caused Yumi's dad to fire and disown her. Veteran employee Takayo Tachibana accuses Hiroshi of embezzling money when he went to eat at an Italian restaurant with a client and upgraded the course meal at the client's request. To make matters worse, she accused the other employees of embezzlement for taking expensive alternatives to get them fired. "My wife cheated on me with the company president and got me fired": After Mitsuko divorced Hiroshi and remarried the CEO, she calls him about a bunch of people who came to his office, who turn out to be from the IRS. One of them, Masaru, was Hiroshi's friend and sought out the CEO for tax evasion, which was the reason Mitsuko offered to make Hiroshi the new CEO earlier on. "Boss stole my wife away from me": After Mr. Maezawa stole Hiroshi's wife, Ayame, and gloated about inviting him to their wedding, his celebration is cut short when Hiroshi reveals that Ayame's company was in trouble because she has been forging documents and thought merging it with Maezawa's would save it. Moreover, a whistleblower exposed Ayame's company, causing a huge scandal that led to Ayame's firm going bankrupt while Mr. Maezawa lost everything. "My boss thought he knew about wine like a sommelier, so I exposed him in front of everyone": After Bunta revealed that Hanka frequented the winery to buy the most expensive wines under Skatt Corporation's name and asked Hiroshi if they had parties that often, Hiroshi investigated Hanka's purchase history. At the CEO's birthday party, Hiroshi exposed Hanka's embezzlement in revenge for the latter's abuse. As a result, Hanka receives a huge dressing-down from the CEO before getting fired and forced to pay all the money he stole. |

Our Miss Brooks: In "The Embezzled Dress", Miss Brooks fears going to prison for embezzlement after Mrs. Davis buys Miss Brooks a dress with the $25 Miss Brooks had been keeping in her room. Mrs. Davis thought the money was Miss Brook's rent money; in fact, it was the student banking funds. Five of Walter's Denton's practical jokes see the actual fraud: Using Mr. Conklin's name to request a cure for alcoholism in "Cure That Habit" Putting Mr. Conklin's name on a draft notice in "Mr. Conklin's Induction Notice" "Spare That Rod!": Altering the address on a war-time letter to previous Madison principal Mr. Darwell, to read as a current letter to Mr. Conklin. The letter is a threat from Mr. Stone to fire Mr. Conklin (actually Mr. Darwell) if he doesn't cease running the school in a "dictatorial manner". "Turnabout Day" has Walter Denton (with Stretch Snodgrass's help) forge a letter from Mr. Stone ordering Mr. Conklin to put the wacky school holiday into effect. "Wild Goose Chase" sees Walter trick Mr. Conklin over the telephone: he pretends to be a radio quiz host and claims Mr. Conklin has won a free T.V. from Sherry's Department Store. |

The Simpsons: In an issue of Bartman, Bart and Milhouse see Comic Book Guy selling a recent issue of Radioctive Man, which they bought at regular price, selling at a mark up of several thousand percent. When they ask why it's so expensive, Comic Book Guy says that it is one of a few dozen that does not have the publisher's metallic logo. As Bartman, Bart discovers that Jimbo, Kearny, and Dolph are part of a scam at a particular paper mill that purposefully misprints a small number of issues so that they can be sold at an astronomic mark up. | |

The infamous Bank of Commerce and Credit International (lightly fictionalized in the film The International) was known to regularly dip into more blue-collar crimes (like kidnapping, extortion, and a few cases of murder that were never formally connected to them) when their cadre of regular white-collar fraudsters were not up to task. | |

White-collar crime provides the impetus for the events of Money Monster, when a swindled investor decides to take the host of a Financial advice show hostage to try and get his money back. He got swindled because he's a bit of an idiot, albeit a sympathetic one, and his hostage-taking would have gone much more badly for everyone if the producer and host of the show hadn't come over to his side. | |

In the second episode of the series, the team realizes that a corrupt executive and the congressman in his pocket have stolen several hundred million dollars in small denominations of taxpayer money earmarked for Iraq.

It also introduced the Affably Evil Barracuda (the CEO's go-to guy for delicate problems), who proved so popular he got his own miniseries. In The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank, Mr. Payback is introduced shooting up a board meeting after listing the crimes the executives were guilty of. What he didn't know was that he accidentally killed an innocent cleaning lady during the attack, putting him on Frank's list. |

On Boardwalk Empire most of the characters are straight up blue collar bootleggers and/or gangsters but Nucky Thompson started out as a crooked politician and is not adverse to some white collar crime like crooked land deals. Probably his greatest regret is letting his wife get involved as a (knowing) patsy in the land deals needed for the expansion and paving of the White Horse Pike to smooth travel between Philadelphia and Atlantic City (she signed away the land to the Church, which gave them a great reputation as Catholic philanthopists but left Nucky with no money from the eventual road construction). Gangster Arnold Rothstein falls victim to a real estate company running a pump-and-dump scheme and plans to revenge by running a reverse scam on them. One of Nucky's associates was ruined when he invested in the original Ponzi Scheme. | |

Chapter 21 of The Pale King is a conversation between an IRS auditor and a businessman trying to falsify his tax report. He is given two options: jail, or filing a new report with the correct information and paying the late fees. Claude suspects that the higher-ups at Post 047 are doctoring the records so that the site has a perfectly averaged productivity rate, which would make them appear less suspicious. |

Speed Racer centers on a group of corrupt execs using the racing circuit to manipulate the stock market. Every major race is rigged for the most profitable results; one example given is a race where a particular driver crashed partway through, causing his car's maker's stocks to plummet - at which point the company's owner bought up the stock right before it recovered due to the announcement of a merger, an ad-hoc "pump-and-dump". | |

The Enron scandal — the focus of the documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room — raised a lot of awareness about accounting fraud. The fallout from Enron led to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which stiffened penalties against those who knowingly "cook the books." Enron's downfall and a spate of other accounting scandals at the same time triggered the bankruptcy of one of the major accounting firms, Arthur Andersen. | |

However, the way he's gone about it makes the discrepancies in the company's revenue very obvious, and eventually it prompts an audit by the IRS. Skyler is forced to help Ted fix his massive tax fraud because her name is also on the fraudulent tax papers, which means the IRS will investigate her as well, which would inevitably lead to the discovery of Walt and Skyler's drug dealing gains. | |

In Highway to Heaven, one character uses insider trading, including stealing the company's trash and hiring a disgruntled former employee for his insider information to start a series of deals so he can manipulate two companies' stock prices, gain control over the company's voting shares, and get rid of his enemies. This is all done in the name of "good" by the shows protagonist, an angel, who in other episodes, has an ethical dilemma over much simpler things, but white collar crime is apparently okay. | |

As with Madoff, Allen Stanford's Ponzi "bank" scammed its customers through CDs,note Certificates of Deposit meaning people placed their life savings at his mercy with his free-spending ways. While he spent some of it building Antigua's infrastructure and donating to charities, most was spent wining and dining with politicians. It was not until 2009 when the SEC raided Stanford's Houston headquarters and ordered his arrest, during which he even tried hightailing to Antigua but was captured before he could escape. Swindled has an overview of Stanford's Ponzi scheme, which was worth $8 billion on paper. Like Madoff, Stanford received a Longer-Than-Life Sentence despite appealing for leniency. Plus, he lost many sports sponsorship deals and was banned from the securities industry. The government of Antigua also stripped him of his knighthood as well. | |
