Legal Defense Against Employee Stealing or Fraud
Embezzlement is defined most generally as theft or larceny of assets, money or property by someone in a position of trust or responsibility over those assets. Typically, embezzlement occurs in the employment and/or corporate setting.
18 U.S.C. § 641 lays our punishment for anyone who embezzles, or intentionally converts for their use, or without authorization, sells or disposes a record, money, or anything that has value to the United States, or any property under contract, or anyone who receives or conceals wit the specific intent to convert for their own benefit, with the knowledge it had been embezzled, stolen, or converted.
If convicted of embezzlement you may be facing large fines and imprisonment for up to ten years. However, if the value of the property embezzled does not exceed $1,000 in sum then the punishment is reduced to fines and/or up to one year in prison.
