White Collar Crime refers to property crimes that typically involve stealing

information as part of their job, but the offense charged is still Theft,
Fraud, or Forgery. These cases can be charged as Class C Misdemeanor to
First Degree Felony, depending on the amount of money or the value of
property appropriated. Which means that if the amount of money is large
enough, then you can receive up to Life in Prison as punishment.
