White-collar crime is not without its casualties. While it usually does not involve death or physical harm, individuals or companies are nonetheless victimised, be it in terms of the loss of money or value of a product, or even that of the company itself. The list of financiallymotivated crimes include cheating, forgery, embezzlement and fraud. Some of the criminals mentioned in this book are famous—or should we say infamous—while others were involved in relatively low-key crimes. But this does not detract from the fact that they have committed crimes and have been made to pay for them. One of Singapore’s most famous cases was that of trader Nick Leeson, who was responsible for bringing down one of England’s oldest financial institutions. Then there was the case of David Rasif, the lawyer who absconded after taking millions of his clients’ money, and who is still on the run today.
