Wire Fraud And Embezzlement And Theft

Larceny is defined as the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another from his or her possession with intent to convert them to the takers own use. To say it plainly, larceny is stealing someone else’s property. No matter what reasons there are behind stealing, it is still wrong.

A large part of this is because people do not understand who or what they are harming when they steal. Most people who commit larceny do not look at the big picture and realize what they are doing and how it affects

Embezzlement seems to be a white collar crime that is victimless. However, when monies are embezzled from a non profit it affects all those involved especially those benefitting from the work of the nonprofit organization.

In the U.S. versus AOL case, America Online and PurchasePro executives were accused of inflating revenue from software licenses. “Both parties were accused of accounting deceptions that led investors to believe that PurchasePro had met its sales projections when it had not, which led to an inflation of PurchasePro, Inc. stock prices (Easttom & Taylor, 2011)”. One of the various charges the executives received was wire fraud. Wire fraud is achieved through electronic trading and this is what classifies it as a computer crime.

There are various forms of cash fraud. One of the common schemes is cash larceny. Cash larceny refers to employees intentionally taking away cash from their employer without the employer’s knowledge and consent (Wells, 2014). Employees who have direct access to cash are more likely to commit cash larceny (Wells, 2014). Cash larceny is more likely to occur if there are weak internal controls in an organization. Weak internal controls make it difficult to prevent and detect an occurrence of fraud. This paper seeks to evaluate a recent case of cash larceny by a former employee at Glen Aubrey Fire Company.

Anne brought some money that Arthur had in California as well as Arthur’s checkbook. She putted the money in the bank and it had Anne’s and Arthur’s names on it.

As a result, Anne gave her a debit card instead of the checkbook because she did not want to bother her daughter after she offered to take care of her uncle’s bills. After a few days, Anne realized that Linda was using the debit card everyplace she went with her boyfriend and they had spent $71, 000 of her brother’s money.

In my white collar crime example, I am an employee. I’ve been working at this company for fourteen years. My coworker and I are responsible for handling the checks. My boss put me in charge for depositing money in the bank. The checks that I am supposed to deposit, I usually keep it for myself. I’ve deposited money on time sometimes to make things not look suspicious. My motivation for pocketing the money is because I don’t get enough money. I am a single mother with four children and I need money to support my kids and making sure that they have everything that they need. There are some nights when I don’t eat because I don’t have the money to buy anything for myself. This is the one of the easiest
