White Collar Crime Questions & Answers
Q: I quit my job after I realized my boss was laundering money from the company. Now she's being questioned by law
Bruce Alexander Minnick's answer
No, not unless you were personally involved in the money laundering crimes yourself. However, if your ex-boss knows that you are aware of the money laundering, she may either try to get you to lie about it for her, or--worse yet--might lie about you being involved to the law enforcement authorities investigating the crimes. Consider hiring a lawyer now.

Q: Is there any difference between a white collar and a corporate crime or are they the same thing?
Bernard Crane's answer
Pretty much the same, but not entirely. Its like that scene in Seinfield, where Newman is trying to impress a girl with his postal knowledge and smugly looks at her and says, "All certified mail is registered, but not all registered mail is certified."
All corporate crime is white collar, but not all white collar crime is corporate.
White collar crime refers to financially motivated, nonviolent crime, usually committed by business or government professionals. Corporate crime...

If the house is yours, and not in the estate, then you would have to bring a petition under Probate Code section 850 to challenge the title to the property. Discuss this with your attorney.

Q: If a person embezzled from us, are we entitled to the entire sum back?
William Wolf's answer
This is something you need to bring up with the prosecutor who is prosecuting this person for the embezzlement.
Courts have the authority to order restitution, ordering a defendant who is convicted to compensate the person or persons he or she stole from.
I hope this helps.

Gary Kollin's answer
Does he h ave local charges?

Q: So what exactly is wire fraud?
Timur Akpinar's answer
If you’re asking as a general matter, wire fraud is a crime defined by federal law in 18 U.S.C. 1343, where the elements are that a defendant voluntarily and intentionally devised or participated in a scheme to defraud another out of money, and that she or he did so with the intent to defraud, and that it was reasonably foreseeable that interstate wire communications would be used, and that interstate wire communications were in fact used.

Q: Want to get a loan with property as collateral - that's okay right if I don't live there?
T. J. Jesky's answer
As long as you are the owner of the property, even if you don't live in property, it can be used as collateral. This is done frequently. However, if you don't own the property and you use it as collateral, this would be considered fraud.

Q: What is the best way to transfer our corporate bank account into another
T. J. Jesky's answer
To best answer your question, I would need more information. For example, are you just transferring your corporate bank account to another bank. A corporation has its own unique EIN number with the IRS. This number identifies the corporation. Just because the corporation changes bank accounts, the EIN would remain the same. Now if you are transferring the corporate bank account to a different entity (or person) you would need a number of corporate formalities to be completed.

Q: Can a company just have anyone sign a check, or do they have to have the bank or somebody grant that authority?
Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
The company, whether it's a corporation or a LLC, needs to authorize certain people to sign checks. If it's a corporation, it would do it by a resolution of the board of directors. A copy of this authorization should be given to the bank.
