What is the name of your state? North Carolina
I am in the process of being charged with embezzling funds from a bank that I worked for. I have already confessed everything and I know what I did was wrong. First I just wanted to know the statute of limitations for federal prosecution for embezzlement. Also I am confused by my lawyers. They are letting the US Attorney tell them how to handle my case. And it just seems like I wasted money hiring the attorney if they are going to follow step by step the directions of the US Attorney. I think that my previous employer does not want it to get out how lack their controls were and the ease of which the funds were taken and the US Attorneys directives allows this situation to stay out of the public eye. What I fear is my attorney is using me as a bargining chip. When they gave me a breakdown of the charges it didn't seem as if I was getting credit for cooperating. Can anyone provide some guidance?
