Embezzlement

Stealing money is typically referred to as larceny, which also can include embezzlement. If you embezzle less than $1000, Virginia considers this offense a misdemeanor. If you embezzle over $1000, then the embezzlement is considered a felony. The penalties, fines and prison time will depend upon the value of the stolen assets and the seriousness of the theft offense you are charged with. Facts matter and the conviction of a felony will be with you for life.

Embezzlement is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, fines up to $2,500, and in most cases restitution will be required to pay back the victims.

In order for the prosecution to convict someone of Embezzlement, Virginia requires the state to prove:

1. That another person entrusted you with their property, and you were in lawful possession of their property.
2. That you wrongfully disposed of the property for your own gain.

Property can mean anything of value including checks, money, notes, bonds, or anything else of value.
