Embezzlement
Embezzlement is a crime that consists of withholding assets for the purpose of conversion of such assets, by one or more persons to whom the assets were entrusted, either to be held or to be used for specific purposes. Embezzlement is a type of financial fraud.

The term "embezzlement" is often used in informal speech to mean theft of money, usually from an organization or company such as an employer.

Often it involves the trusted individual embezzling only a small proportion of the total of the funds or resources they receive or co ...
