Embezzlement Defense in Indiana
Contact Wallace Little
"Embezzlement" is a term used to describe the alleged theft of personal property that has been entrusted to someone. People accused of embezzlement are often people with access to the funds or authority — such as bookkeepers, accountants, treasurers or officers. A person who did, in fact, withdraw funds for personal use without authorization, is often motivated to do so because of life stressors or psychological problems such as the following:
- Extraordinary financial pressures, such as threat of foreclosure
- Gambling addiction
- Drug addiction
Often, the person who has embezzled funds tells a story of a one-time "borrowing" from company or non-profit funds which then morphed into an ongoing pattern of criminal acts involving funds not intended for personal use.
