Illicit gains from white collar crime far exceed those from all other crime combined. One corporate price-fixing conspiracy may criminally convert more money each year than hundreds of burglaries, larcenies or thefts. In fact, these are the most pervasive, most pernicious and most costly crimes of all in society. The likelihood of getting caught is relatively small, the likelihood of getting convicted is even smaller and sentences for white collar crimes are lower than for example for bank robberies.
