Are White Collar Crimes Automatically Felonies?
Not always. However, many white collar crimes are charged as federal offenses; many of them can be felonies depending on the seriousness of the charge.
What’s The Difference Between Larceny And Embezzlement?
While they are both a type of theft, there are a few things that make them different:
- Larceny: Larceny is when someone steals property they don’t have access to or that wasn’t under their supervision. For example, a clothing retail employee steals a coat from the backroom.
- Embezzlement: Embezzlement is when someone steals property they can access or supervise. For example, a manager puts cash from business earnings into the bank. Instead of putting all the money they made in the bank, they siphon off a fraction of the profits to keep for themselves.
It’s crucial to take both of these criminal accusations seriously. Contact us at 315-350-3975 if you face larceny or embezzlement charges.
