Absztrakt (kivonat)

White-collar crime is a serious problem that has significant economic and social consequences. It can cause significant harm to businesses, consumers, and the economy as a whole. While efforts have been made to combat white-collar crime, it remains a persistent and difficult problem to address. Further research and collaboration between law enforcement agencies, policymakers, and academics will be needed to develop effective strategies for preventing and punishing white-collar crime.White-collar crimes are typically committed by professionals in positions of power or trust, and involve a violation of trust, deceit, or fraud committed in the course of an individual's employment or business activities. These crimes can include insider trading, embezzlement, money laundering, bribery, and other forms of fraud. White-collar crimes are often difficult to detect and prosecute, as they involve complex financial transactions and sophisticated methods of concealment.White-collar crime refers to non-violent crimes committed by individuals in positions of power or trust, such as business executives and professionals, for financial gain or other benefits. These crimes are typically more complex and sophisticated than street crimes and can cause significant harm to businesses, consumers, and the economy.The huge changes in technology that the era of 80s and 90s brought made reforming impacts on the methods of criminals. The computer systems used were smart enough to process data and information at lightning speed, so criminals could easily get access to literally anything that was stored there. The control systems, however, were not so developed at the time, which reasoned the number of opportunities perpetrators had in terms of committing fraud. It is a typical case of new technology emerging as a blessing and simultaneously a curse. To hide identity, especially in money laundering, some confusing steps are required to be taken to stay in cover. The complex IT systems (when not correctly regulated) have always been perfect for that purpose so criminals could choose a way of perpetration that took advantage of the deregulated nature of the former financial industry and its FinTech. Nowadays, the case is more or less the same, if we consider the lack of regulation abused by white collars. Cryptocurrencies and the market for them are just getting regulated as the Bankman-Fried scandal has kicked off the process of making changes. But until that happened, little or no regulation had been present in the digital money industry, meaning that money launderers must have used related transactions for layering to hide the origin of the illicit gains and I suppose most occasions of those operations stayed unrevealed, and only a small part of criminals using crypto for laundering purposes got caught. Building up a Ponzi scheme, securities fraud, embezzlement, accounting frauds and all of those nasty actions connected to the crypto world have been relatively easy (compared to traditional investments) for professionals who are at the right place, at the right time having the right information due to the complete lack of regulatory acts, and the fact that present acts can not easily be converted into crypto regulations. Work is in progress to take control over it, but there is still a long way to go.
