What are some consequences and defenses for white-collar crimes in Florida?
Answer: Well, the ones I just described—embezzlement and fraudulent conduct—are typical white-collar crimes. But they’re also prosecuted in state court as well with regards to, specifically, embezzlement with companies within the state. And those defenses, again, would be an issue of knowledge; in other words, a mistake or you’ve done something that you weren’t aware and it caused you to somehow get money or benefit from that but you just, you didn’t realize it at the time that it was incorrect.
