1. Studies have revealed that although certain white-collar crime cases have been aggressively prosecuted, most do not gain the interest, and support, of our prosecutors, whether at the local, state, federal, or international level. Ponder why this is the case and what changes we can recommend that would help gain more “buy in” from these key players.

View the video below titled: “White Collar Crime 101: How to Defraud a Company.” The video focuses on Sam Antar, a convicted white-collar criminal. Ponder what our government could have done to prevent this type of crime from occurring.
