What Are Embezzlement and Fraud?
- Embezzlement: This crime involves stealing money or property entrusted to your care. It typically happens in a position of trust, such as an employee stealing from an employer or client.
- Fraud: Fraud includes any attempt to deceive someone for financial gain. Common examples include credit card fraud, insurance fraud, tax fraud, and mortgage fraud.
Both crimes are considered felonies in Michigan and carry serious penalties.
Consequences of Embezzlement and Fraud Charges
Embezzlement and fraud convictions can result in harsh penalties:
- Prison time: Prison sentences can range from a few years to decades, depending on the crime’s severity.
- Fines: Fines can be significant, often matching the amount embezzled or fraudulently obtained.
- Restitution: Convicted individuals may need to pay restitution to victims for their financial losses.
- Probation: In some cases, you may receive probation instead of or in addition to prison time. Probation includes restrictions like fines, community service, and check-ins.
- Criminal record: A conviction will stay on your record, which can affect employment, housing, and your reputation.
