FBI Embezzlement

Embezzlement is theft—the unlawful taking or misappropriation of property that has been entrusted. A fraudulent conversion of another’s property by a trusted person like an employee or a business agent–someone with a fiduciary responsibility. In a classic sense, it’s stealing or misappropriating someone else’s investment or stealing from an employer. Individuals prosecuted are generally persons managing public and private investments where large amounts of money are discovered missing–usually involving a sophisticated scheme and law enforcement suspect an embezzlement. But an embezzlement can also involve small amounts of money as when an employee “pads” an expense voucher. Accordingly, members whose background also includes FBI Embezzlement can be a great asset to someone looking for an investigator and/or needing an expert trying to find concealed assets.

Sophisticated embezzling schemes usually involve fictitious vendors and bogus invoices, check kiting and phantom employees. The more elaborate an embezzlement scheme the more likely a conspiracy existed among fund managers to steal the money. And the more injurious an embezzlement scheme, the more likely law enforcement will find a Ponzi scheme at the heart of the conspiracy with early investors paid with money received from later investors–attracting new investors.

Thought to be responsible for the largest financial fraud in U.S. history, on June 29, 2009, Bernard Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for orchestrating an embezzlement scheme involving more than $65 billion where authorities say investors lost about $18 billion.

Known as Suspicious Activity Reports [SARs], financial institutions are required to report suspicious transactions to the FBI which can alert officials about an ongoing fraud scheme–regardless whether the transaction involves a private bank, hedge fund and/or some other financial institution. Realizing resources are limited, today the FBI encourages agents and analysts to form task forces to investigate/prosecute financial crime, including embezzlement resulting in:

Increased investigations and prosecutions;
Enhanced cooperation and coordination with federal, state, and local authorities; and
Public awareness.
