According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), the latest available data from the Justice Department show that in January 2012 the federal government prosecuted 546 individuals in white-collar crime cases, down 13 percent from the previous month and down more than 40 percent since August 2011, when there were 930 such prosecutions reported.
A significant portion of this drop can be attributed to the decreased usage of 18 USC 1028A-Aggravated Identity Theft, which in August was the lead charge in 154 white collar prosecutions. In January, this statute was cited as the lead charge only 25 times.
