Denver White Collar Crime Defense Attorneys 

Penalties for White Collar Crimes in Colorado

The penalties for white-collar crime vary widely in Colorado and often depend on things such as the type of offense, the amount of money involved, and the accused’s relationship with the victim. 

Fraud is a common type of white-collar crime that demonstrates just how much the penalties for these offenses vary. Check fraud of less than $50, for example, is a class 1 petty offense in Colorado that comes with fines of $500 and a 6-month jail sentence. On the other end of the spectrum, money laundering is a fraud offense that can result in federal charges, years in prison, and fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

Here are other examples of the penalties for white-collar crime. Embezzlement is a felony offense in our state that can result in fines of up to $100,000 and a three-year jail sentence. As another example, extortion is a felony offense that can carry fines of up to $500,000 and up to six years of imprisonment.
