Except in the sense of clearly being a violation of a statute or a regulation (and often even in that sense since the applicable law can be unclear), white collar crime is often less clearly crime than blue collar crime. Not every white collar criminal is Bernie Madoff. (Who clearly was a criminal, and on a massive scale), many white collar crimes are more technical violations. Look at Martha Stewart. Insider trading is less of a crime than fraud, and in any case she was never convicted of insider trading. (I'm not necessarily saying she was innocent of crimes, or that she didn't deserve to be convicted of anything, I'm talking about the charges that where actually brought) -------------- reason.com reason.com reason.com
