EMBEZZLEMENT

Defined as the crime of stealing the funds or property of an employer, company or government or misappropriating money or assets held in trust.

White Collar Crime

White-collar criminals are opportunists, who over time learn they can take advantage of their circumstances to accumulate financial gain. They are educated, intelligent, affluent, confident individuals, who were qualified enough to get a job which allows them the unmonitored access to often large sums of money. Many also use their intelligence to con their victims into believing and trusting in their credentials. Many do not start out as criminals, and in many cases never see themselves as such.
