Recognizing Embezzlement

Embezzlement is often a subtle crime. In some cases, it can take years before the people being defrauded realize what’s happening, and by then, they could be out thousands or even millions of dollars.

At its core, embezzlement is essentially a type of theft. The embezzler finds a way to take ownership of assets or funds that he or she has been entrusted with. In the financial industry, this could be an investment advisor or a hedge fund manager, although it could theoretically be anyone in a similar position. The embezzler often must make use of a money laundering scheme in order to make use of the embezzled funds.

Warning signs of embezzlement might include accounts that don’t add up, unexplainable losses, and investing strategies that seem unnecessarily complicated. An embezzlement whistleblower lawyer can help you determine if what you’ve encountered qualifies and if the SEC should be notified.

Rewards for Blowing the Whistle on Embezzlers

Embezzlement is not a victimless crime. An embezzler is always defrauding someone, effectively stealing money from them and harming their financial future. In extreme cases, an out-of-control embezzler could even mean the financial ruin of a company or investment group.

By exposing this type of fraud, you can save the financial wellbeing of everyone involved and also potentially receive a reward from the SEC. If your embezzlement tip results in sanctions of over $1,000,000, the SEC will reward you with between 10 and 30 percent of that money.

Furthermore, most whistleblowers are able to remain anonymous throughout the process. You will also be the beneficiary of several legal protections granted by the Dodd-Frank Act, which means that the target of the SEC investigation cannot retaliate against you, whether it was a person or a company.
