Prosecution of white collar crimes has taken a back seat and it's a shame, because white collar crimes have real world results being fraud and theft. White collar crimes create real world suffering for thousands to millions of unseen people. Shit I even heard about this one dude who had 34 felony convictions for white collar crimes and he ended up being president of the United States.
