Foreign nationals as well as local individuals steal credit card information as pose as the person who owns the card. An FBI report from 2005 indicated that credit cards represented the majority of the total $315 billion U.S. financial fraud loss for that year, while a recent European study found that more than 22 million adults fell victim to credit card scams in 2006.

Los Angeles Embezzlement Information
In these economic times, white collar crimes will be looked at with a close eye, both by companies and by the courts. White collar crimes don't usually receive sympathy from law enforcement or from judges, in part because they occur in a working/professional environment.

For instance, a clerk or cashier handling large sums of money can embezzle cash from his or her employer, a lawyer can embezzle funds from clients' trust accounts, a financial advisor can embezzle funds from investors, or a spouse can embezzle funds from his or her partner.

California Definition of Embezzlement
In California, this is a serious fraud crime carried out by employees who are familiar with the organization and exploit that knowledge for illegal gain.
By definition, embezzlement is the "illegal transfer of money or property for personal use." The significant difference between embezzlement (employee theft) and other kinds of theft is that embezzled property is legally possessed or accessed by the person doing the embezzling; usually as part of the job responsibilities.

- This is a tough case for you. If there was a camera facing the cash register and captured images of the theft, or if another employee saw you do this, you will need an experienced criminal defense attorney to negotiate with the prosecuting agency. It's possible the store owner will refuse to testify if you agree to reimburse the money.
If nobody saw you do this, and you did not make any admissions, then you may have a valid defense.

- I was arrested for stealing some money at my job. A customer paid for an item in cash, and I didn't put it all in the cash register. Instead, I put some of it in my wallet. Do I have any way to defend this?
