Most people are under the impression that the most dangerous criminals are murderers, rapists, and armed robbers. Well, while this is mostly true, white-collar criminals are in business, too, and they are not exactly harmless fellows.
Below is a list of white-collar crimes in Florida and some of the felons responsible for some of the biggest heists in the Sunshine State.
Suspect Fernando. The first name on this list of white-collar criminals is a character known as Fernando. This man is wanted for bank fraud and mail fraud. According to the FBI, Fernando embezzled over $3 million while he was working as the Head of Accounts Payable in a Boca Raton company. The criminal was able to pull this off using invoices from a fake company he created.
Michael Casey. Casey may not ring a bell, but his company, Reasonable Commodities Online is probably more familiar. This company was established with the intent to rip off unsuspecting clients to the tune of about $20 million. Michael Casey is a long time resident of South Florida so he is likely still in this area.
The female white-collar criminal. In case you think men have a monopoly on white-collar crime Florida, think again. A woman in Florida found a way to dupe 800 people across the globe. The lady in question claimed her company offered investors a great opportunity to make money. Her company, Commodities Online, cheated customers out of a princely $21 million.
Luis Benitez. This man is wanted by the FBI for running a multi-million dollar scam in the Miami-Dade area between 2001 and 2004. He and his brothers are alleged to have laundered millions of dollars through clinics in the area. Another character whose first name is Luis stands accused of tampering with witnesses after running a bogus precious metals company used to defraud a number of people.
The criminal couple. Victor and Natalie Wolfe have a habit of throwing lavish parties on their yacht. They also drive expensive cars and generally love to splash the cash. This lavish lifestyle is financed by a multi-million real estate fraud scheme carried out right here in Florida. This couple alleged to have defrauded at least 100 folks of approximately $20 million.
