In Hawaii, white-collar crimes encompass a range of nonviolent offenses committed for financial gain, often in business settings. These crimes can violate both federal laws and Hawaii state statutes. Examples include fraud in various forms (bank, bankruptcy, credit card, financial, government, health care, insurance, and tax evasion), embezzlement, bribery, identity theft, money laundering, and computer-related crimes. Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) address these offenses under different chapters, such as HRS Chapter 708 for theft and related offenses, which includes embezzlement and fraud, and HRS Chapter 710 for offenses against public administration, covering bribery and corruption. Federal laws also apply to white-collar crimes that cross state lines or involve federal agencies. Penalties for these crimes in Hawaii can range from fines and restitution to imprisonment, depending on the severity and impact of the offense. An attorney specializing in criminal defense or white-collar crime can provide specific guidance and representation to those accused of such offenses in Hawaii.
