What are examples of financial crimes?

inancial and high-tech crimes – currency counterfeiting, money laundering, intellectual property crime, payment card fraud, computer virus attacks and cyber-terrorism, for example – can affect all levels of society.\n\nCurrency counterfeiting and money laundering have the potential to destabilise national economies and threaten global security, as these activities are sometimes used by terrorists and other dangerous criminals to finance their activities or conceal their profits.\n\nIntellectual property crime is a serious financial concern for car manufacturers, luxury goods makers, media firms and drug companies. Most alarmingly, counterfeiting endangers public health, especially in developing countries, where the World Health Organization estimates more than 60 per cent of pharmaceuticals are fake.\n\n‘Spam’ is becoming more than just a nuisance for Internet users, as criminals are using it in increasingly sophisticated ways to defraud consumers, cripple computer systems and release viruses. In 2000, the so-called ‘Love Bug’ virus, which affected millions of computers around the world within hours, exposed the vulnerability of corporate and government networks to such attacks.\n\nNew technologies open up many possibilities for criminals to carry out traditional financial crimes in new ways. One notable example is ‘phishing’, whereby a criminal attempts to acquire through e-mail or instant messaging sensitive information such as passwords or credit card details by pretending to be a legitimate business representative. With this information, the criminal can commit fraud and even money laundering.

There is no Statute of Limitations on fraud, or murder. They are the only two laws that don't have a statute of limitations.

The absolute minimum is that you would have to return any money you received as a result of the fraud. Depending on the severity, you could also have to pay fines and interest and even be imprisoned.

When someone takes a bribe, the process is called "bribery."\n\nA general term for financial wrongdoing by government officials is "graft."

There's loads of things - simply attemting to commit a crime is a crime in itself.\n\nI guess the most obvuious answer to your question would be attempted murder.

I am a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS).\n\nMoney laundering is an attempt to conceal the origin of criminal funds. There are three independent stages of money laundering: placement, layering, and integration. \n\nThere are many examples of each stage, but I will provide some basic ones.\n\nPlacement\n\nPlacement occurs when criminal funds are introduced into the financial system. For example, a U.S. money launderer may make frequent cash deposits just under the $10,000 currency reporting limit. This practice is called "structuring". \n\nLayering\n\nLayering is an attempt to confuse the money trail. An example of layering would be if a money launderer converted cash drug proceeds into money orders or travelers checks, or if a money launderer sent funds to a variety of accounts under a variety of names via wire transfer.\n\nIntegration\n\nIntegration is the method a money launderer uses to provide a seemingly legitimate explanation for criminal funds. A money launderer may use an import/export company to create false invoices that would account for the amount of funds. Typically, placement and layering precede integration. Placement and layering are the methods of getting the criminal funds into the system. Integration is usually the method for the money launderer to get the funds back. For example, a money launderer may have made a currency deposit in Bank A. He then may go to Bank B and may purchase CDs (certificates of deposit) with a cashier's check from the funds he deposited in Bank A. So, he's accomplished placement and layering. Now, he may obtain a loan from Bank C secured by the CDs from Bank B. This is more layering, but it is also integration. He now has a "clean" loan disbursement check that has no tie to the original criminal cash deposit. In fact, he may default on the loan from Bank C and be willing to forfeit his CD cash collateral. \n\nNow, for Nigeria. Well, Nigeria's international image suffered greatly due to the arrest and subsequent corruption investigations of the son of the former Nigerian dictator, Sani Abacha in 2000. There were almost 20 banks involved in this corruption, with money laundering figuring greatly. \n\nAlso, Nigeria was notoriously reluctant to adopt anti-money laundering legislation, and did so only under great pressure from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) at the eleventh hour in 2002. \n\nHope this information helps.
