In Tennessee, white-collar crimes encompass a range of nonviolent offenses committed for financial gain, often in business settings. These crimes can violate both federal and state laws. Tennessee statutes cover various forms of fraud, including but not limited to bank fraud, insurance fraud, healthcare fraud, and credit card fraud. The state also has laws against bribery, embezzlement, extortion, and money laundering. Additionally, Tennessee adheres to federal regulations and statutes that address white-collar crimes, such as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), securities fraud, and antitrust violations.
