Cyrus R. Vance Jr., New York County District Attorney and president of the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York, writes: While the federal government has reacted to business crimes with new policies, laws, and regulations designed to combat ever-changing scams that are limited only by human ingenuity, the near-silence from New York has been striking. Our state, the financial capital of the nation, has done little to adapt its laws to the modern problems white-collar crime presents.

Every day, the media carry stories of business crimes both large and small. From my office’s indictment earlier this year of a federally-chartered bank for a mortgage fraud scheme, to the U.S. Department of Justice’s crackdown on insider trading in the last few years, the drumbeat of white-collar crime is constant.
This is not new, of course. Think Boesky and Milken. BCCI. Enron. Tyco. And thousands of others, big and small, from bank teller embezzlements to Ponzi schemes.
