Write a 3- to 5-page paper in which you address the following thoroughly. Cite specifics from the case wherever possible to support your arguments:

1. Examine three elements of white-collar crime and then determine whether or not the defendant committed a white-collar crime or any action that requires prosecution. Provide a rationale to support your position.
2. Identify and summarize the law which you believe the defendant infringed upon, and identify three of the most significant portions of the law related to this case. Provide support for your rationale.
3. Examine whether the actions of the defendant are supported by others in society and why. If the actions are supported, analyze to what degree they are and analyze the significance of this support. Then, give your opinion as to whether the defendant got the intended outcome as a result of the defendant’s actions. Provide a rationale to support your response.
4. Debate the likelihood of the Department of Justice categorizing the defendant’s behavior as deviant. Next, determine three possible effects on the pursuit of justice if the Justice Department does or does not consider the defendant’s behavior deviant. Justify your response.
