Riverside Counterfeiting Lawyer
A white collar crime is a crime committed in a business or commercial environment for monetary gain. White collar crimes are non-violent and the criminal acts are generally carried out by people in high profile positions such as managers, executives, or politicians. Counterfeiting is the crime of imitating or forging. Counterfeiting may also be referred to as forgery. Common counterfeit crimes include forging a person’s signature, creating false currency, or illegally imitating documents.
If a person forges documents pertaining to another person’s identity, he/she can be charged with fraud, identity theft, and counterfeiting. While forging documents is the most common type of counterfeit crime, people also counterfeit things such as art work, apparel, valued goods, or even pharmaceutical drugs.
In the past, crimes like counterfeiting were not prosecuted too severely. Today, federal law strictly prohibits white collar crimes like counterfeiting. White collar crimes cause the United States’ economy to lose millions of dollars every year. The devastating financial loss has led the government to adapt harsh legal consequences for all white collar crimes, including counterfeiting.
If a person is convicted of counterfeiting, he/she may be subject to life altering legal consequences such as: monetary fines, imprisonment, probation, house arrest, and community service. Punishments may be enhanced if the person has a prior criminal record or prior counterfeiting convictions.
