Since the sixth edition of this book in 2014, there have been dramatic new developments in the study of white-collar crime. One would surely expect that, for the battle between profit and honor is as old as human commerce. In a hotly contested national election, the country chose its first “businessman-president” who never held a government office, and whose cabinet and agency appointments will prove interesting to the future of whitecollar crime. As of this writing, the country is in the throes of one of the largest upheavals in both national and international politics in modern history. Robert Mueller, former head of the FBI, and until recently, unimpeachable prosecutor and public servant, was appointed as a special prosecutor for discerning the facts surrounding the already-welldocumented Russian meddling in the last U.S. presidential election. It was determined by every intelligence and law enforcement agency that the Russians had in fact hacked the election, with the seeming goal of defeating Hillary Clinton. The special prosecutor was appointed as a result of President Trump firing FBI director James Comey, for stated reasons (admitted in a major television interview) having to do with his pursuit of the Russian investigation. The president has repeatedly and publically denied any collusion by himself and his campaign staff with the Russian government in the election, or obstruction of justice in the investigation itself. As of this writing, there are 5 guilty pleas and 19 indictments of those close to the White House, and/or associated with Russian interference in the 2016 national election, brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, including the indictment of former Republican presidential campaign head, Paul Manafort. As the investigation focuses more intensely on those close to the White House, including the president, his son, Donald, Jr., son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as well as various staff, there have been political attacks by a Republican-controlled Congress and by the president himself on Mueller, the FBI, and the investigation itself, despite the fact that Mueller and the person who appointed him in the Department of Justice are both Republicans.
