If you found out a boss or co-worker was involved in something illegal, especially highly illegal like embezzlement, fraud, money laundering, rape, etc. would you turn them in?

You are putting white collar crime into the same mix as violent personal attacks such as rape?
Who would not report rape? I certainly would not want to be working next to or for a rapist.
All of the above -- yes.
Smoking weed--no. Probably not even for selling weed.
I didn't turn them in, but I protested. And I got fired for it.
I worked at a photo lab, and my boss wanted me to make photographic copies of copyrighted material. It was to sell to someone who didn't own the rights to it. I happened to be a friend of a friend of the actual copyright holder, who was essentially being stolen from. I protested, and got fired for "insubordination". I happened to see another person doing the job on my way out and asked her what she was doing, it was illegal. She said "He's my boss and told me to do it" and shrugged.
I was on my way out of that place for many reasons already, if he hadn't fired me then I'd have quit soon after.

Sure. Employers have no loyalty to their workers, so why should their workers be loyal to them?
Also knowing someone committed a crime but not going to the police about it could be considered a crime in some cases.
As a business owner, I encourage my employees to report suspect activity. Under our internal programs, employees can be financially rewarded for turning in corrupt, wasteful and criminals within the organization. Placing a bounty on the head of employees who are doing wrong is an excellent and cost effective way to address these activities.
Fraud within the business? Or fraud in their personal life? I would turn in a coworker/supervisor/manager who was embezzling money through the business or committing fraud through the business. If they were fraudulently collecting welfare or getting their kids on free lunch or something like that, which didn't affect the company or me? I wouldn't turn them in, I don't think.
Rape? Of course. How is that even in the same category as financial crimes?
