Embezzlement is a white-collar crime that involves financial fraud. Although embezzlement crimes are thefts, they differ from nearly all other theft cases. In most theft cases, the alleged thief steals something they never had legitimate access to, such as when a robber breaks into a retail store and steals money from the store’s safe. The robber was never in a position of trust at the retail store, so it is a theft, but not embezzlement. In embezzlement cases, the alleged embezzler steals money to which they have some legitimate access. When someone dishonestly takes the money they have access to for their own purposes, such as for their job, it becomes embezzlement. For example, a retail store cashier who steals money from their cash register at work could face embezzlement charges because the store entrusted them with handling their money.
