The federal investigative powers wielded by entities like the FBI or SEC mean that cases quickly escalate in scope and potential penalties. It’s a sphere where only seasoned practitioners, familiar with federal courtroom dynamics, can effectively shield clients from staggering repercussions.

Specific Federal Statutes and Penalties for White Collar Crime

Among the myriad federal statutes enacted to combat white collar crime, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act stand out for their rigor.
