By largest you mean "most common"?

Wage theft is the most common form of theft.

Which is kind of crazy and really messed up.

We should do something about it!

I believe it's also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.

Just a quick search found something from 2018 so don't crucify me if it's not accurate anymore lol

Oh good point I didn't think of that!

So it's both the most common and the most costly theft, and we are all the victims.

Yay.

I mean, it does depend on whether you count white-collar crime Bernie Madoff and Sam Bankman-Fried style as theft (the statistic provided does not).

If you did, it would dwarf the wage theft, but it would also put what usually gets prosecuted as "theft" into jaw-dropping perspective, making it look like the drop in the ocean, it is.
