Embezzlement and forgery are perhaps the most commonly charged white collar crimes, but it is important not to understate their seriousness. Depending on the value of the money or assets that have allegedly been embezzled, someone accused of embezzlement could be facing penalties ranging from a $1,000 fine for a misdemeanor to extensive fines and a significant prison sentence for a felony. Allegations of forgery regarding corporate or business documents commonly accompany embezzlement, theft and swindle charges.
