Embezzlement is a low-profile crime that typically consists of employees of organizations stealing large amounts of money over a long period of time. Those who are successful in the embezzling of funds can cause extensive fiscal damage to victim organizations, frequently resulting in their financial ruin.
Embezzlement is usually defined under individual state statutes dealing with grand theft. Generally speaking, however, it can be described as a fraudulent appropriation of property by a person to whom that property has been entrusted.
