Embezzlement is the fraudulent appropriation of property by a person to whom such property has been entrusted, or into whose hands it has lawfully come. In other words, stealing from your company in order to cover personal financial needs is embezzlement. This seems like a victimless crime, but in reality, it can carry steep consequences, especially if people were harmed in the process. You may face jail time, restitution payments, fines, and more.
