...other hand, Wall Street crooks -- almost all white -- have a lock on high-class felonies that pay off big with minimum risk. Some of them have managed to steal millions, hire expensive lawyers, make deals with the government to squeal on their co-conspirators, and get off with no more than a fine and community service.

In campaigns with code names such as "Operation Gray Chip" and "Winter Sting," law-enforcement officers rounded up 43 suspects in January, including 13 who were caught while trying to steal more than $1 million worth of computer parts from an electronics warehouse. Officers seized a total of $2 million worth of chips and other computer equipment, together with nylon masks, duct tape, ropes, gloves, walkie-talkies and five loaded guns.
