Hello, can you reply to the comment below and include a question to ask

Why is finance crime separated from corporate crime and occupational crime as a form of white collar crime?

Finance crime is separated from other white collar crimes, because finance crime is involving crimes that have been committed within financial institutions that have involved large-scale mistrust and misconduct of money. The financial institutions can involved banks, investment companies, stockmarkets, and any other huge financial lenders. The crimes are specific to finances, unlike other corporate or governmental crimes that might be involving status or political powers.

What are some specific activities carried out by or through banks that are either illegal or unethical, or both?

Specific activities that are illegal can be: insider trading, transfer of funds, deprivation of funds through bank fees and policies, and unreported bank losses. There are so many ways that a financial institution can be criminalized through their actions. Many of them are illegal, and all of them unethical. Hidden bank fees and policies are the most common and harmful to the average consumer.

What forces or developments in the larger society have contributed to the development of bank or thrifts crime?

The developments of bank crimes are due to the deregulations of the financial institutions. Competitive banks and thrift institutions began to develop. The consumers were unaware of hidden fees and policies. Financial institutions could sell your mortgages to other financial companies. The deregulation was an easy way for banking institutions to breed financial crimes in favor of themselves, rather than protecting the consumer's interests.
