Illegal monetary schemes
Financial crimes are illegal acts committed for monetary gain, typically involving deception, fraud, or manipulation of financial systems.
The category includes money laundering, embezzlement, tax evasion, insider trading, and various forms of fraud.
Unlike violent crimes, financial crimes harm victims through theft of assets or corruption of institutions: The FBI's financial crimes unit investigated the Ponzi scheme.
White-collar crime is a near-synonym.
