Why is theft any different if you wear a suit and tie? If I steal from a grocer by grabbing money from his cash register, how is that different than forging his name on a check (except that in the latter case, he might get his money back if he notices in time)?
There is no legal definition of “white collar crime” in either halacha or American law. The crime is typically fraud or theft.
