Meet Mr. Philip J. Scriffignano
Former Attorney and Convicted White Collar Criminal

Beginning in 1978, Philip was a practicing attorney in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He was also the CEO of a real estate development company which he established in 1986. Within two years was developing multimillion dollar deals, had a wife and two wonderful sons-The perfect dream life.

In 1989 Philip became involved with a Banker enthusiastic in helping him fund many of his projects. In the course of one such project, Philip was told that the deal would not close unless he paid an additional sum to the banker. In his desire to keep the company afloat, his investors and his family members from losing their investment, he AGREED TO PAY. That decision changed his life dramatically welcome to his Nightmare.

Mr. Scriffignano served 18 months in prison, three years on Probation, paid restitution in the amount of $1,650,000, lost his license to practice law FOREVER and is banned from working in any capacity at any law firm. He became insolvent, jobless, and hopeless. He filed for bankruptcy, and the strain ultimately led to his divorce, and an end to the perfect dream life.

Listen to the whole story; the how, the why, the where. The horror, fears and pain of INCARCERATION!
Learn to make the right choices, keep your ethics and morals in check, and live the American dream-avoid the nightmare.
 
Are There Victimless Crimes?
If we find that our actions although noble in approach are really illegal, should they be acceptable if no one gets hurt by the course of action?

What is an acceptable way of doing business? Just because productivity rises and revenue is generated, is the ethical way of conducting business dismissed?

If a seemingly harmless act generates profitability, happiness and wealth should there be anything wrong with it? White collar criminals receive harsher punishment than drug runners!

We all know the obvious answer as to what we should do with regard to the law. Obey it, abide by it, never break it.
What happens when we fall short? What occurs to our emotional, educational, physical and mental well being? What about our families, friends, employers and employees?


We are all faced with the decision, at some point in our lives where we may compromise our ethics, morals or feelings. We do so for a variety of reasons, help a friend, get ahead in business, curry the boss' favor or self greed. It is said that everyone has a price for which they will compromise themselves to accelerate their personal desires and possibly achieve their personal goals. Some decisions seem harmless and in fact are victimless crimes with no real harm perpetrated to anyone.
