What is the name of your state? California
Hi, A friend of mine was recently charged with embezzlement worth up to $58750.
He was contacted by the corperate security team from his employer to give a brief statement. Now it has just came to my atttention that he also initialed the statement stating that he in fact did poket about 8 to 10 k worth of money. But the company is telling him that if he is able to come up with $58750 they will not press any charges. What strikes me is that my friend mentioned to me that he was not fired as of yet but was put on suspension with pay. Now my friend works with customers in a celluar store. He told me that most of that money did not go his poket. He stated that he was helping customers that he did not even know. To give you an example, he told me that lets say if a customer came into his store and wanted to buy a new phone but was not allowed to cause of a system issue that prevented that customer from buying a new phone, he would discount the phone so that the customer can leave happily. Another example would be lets say the Customer had carrier A but wanted carrier B, but carrier A had a fee if the contract was broken with that carrier, my friend would give the customer a credit to the account the amount that carrier A would charge toward the new account for carrier B. So in essence, he was providing buissness to the company he works for as well. But all in all, he did benifit from it but not to the extent of $58750.
Now my question is this,
- What should my friend do cause he does not have any money to hire an expencive lawyer and on top of that he is only 19 or 20. He also has no past criminal record.
- He was also wondering if he goes to trial, what can be the best and worst outcome?
- Also even after spending his time, will he still be in dept to the company as well once he finishes his sentence if any?
Thank You
