Similarly, it is rare for street criminals to consult a lawyer before they commit their crimes. Elite white-collar criminals often consult with expert legal counsel before, during, and after they commit their crimes in order to try to minimize the risk of being sanctioned.

James Gilleran, Jim McLaughlin, Harry Doherty, John Reich, Ken Guenther.
John Dugan, 29th Comptroller of the Currency; Tim Geithner, 75th and current USA Secretary of the Treasury; Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States.
Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006.
