What Constitutes a Fraud and Embezzlement Charge?



Fraud

Fraud is defined as misrepresentation through lies or silence when an individual benefits at the expense of another. Money is the most common motive of fraud and there are state and federal laws against profiting through misrepresentation.

There are several types of fraud charges under state and federal law. Some common fraud charges involve financial institutions, stocks, securities, insider trading, embezzlement, RICO violations, insurance fraud, tax fraud, and money laundering. These charges result in serious penalties, and you need an experienced fraud lawyer or RICO lawyer to protect your rights and work toward the best possible outcome.

In addition to criminal penalties, there can be significant civil penalties. The prosecution may seek jail time and seize property, as well as monetary fines and restitution.

Embezzlement

Embezzlement is a white-collar crime; however, it is a felony, and if convicted, there is a risk of years of imprisonment and significant monetary fines.

Embezzlement is a document-intensive case that often involves a paper trail and computer databases. At The Ford Law Firm, we assemble a defense team to meet the specific needs of the case, which may include forensic experts, computer scientists, and other experts in the field.
