White Collar Crime on the Rise in Arizona
Posted on November 8, 2018 in UCC AND CONTRACT LAWA white collar crime is a financial crime. Many different types of white collar crimes occur in Arizona. Some of us remember the Ned Warren days, where Ned would sell ‘grand canyon’ land parcels to east coast families, often the same parcel scores of times. The families would drive to Arizona to see their parcel and it could not even be located. Other crimes include ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, identity theft, telemarketing fraud and health care fraud.
The Justice Department shows that the government reported 494 new white collar crime prosecutions in the month of April, 2018. In the first seven months of 2018 (through the end of May) the government reports a total of 3,249 new white collar crime prosecutions. Arizona is ranked sixth in the nation for white collar crime prosecution.
