- Racketeering. Common in organized crime syndicates, racketeering creates a problem in order to sell a specific solution to those affected by the problem.

- Embezzlement is the theft of company assets for personal gain. The severity of this offense generally depends on the number of assets misused and the length of time the embezzlement continued.
