What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
To all: I am not looking for a lecture on how I did wrong. I know that. I am looking for LEGAL ADVICE, not my mother. If you cannot provide advice, please move on.
The situation: I stole from my employer. I got caught. I admitted to it. I have the money taken and have been working with the head of corporate security to return it.
The question: He has told me that he will not pursue criminal charges and will handle the matter internally. However, he has cautioned me that those higher up could make him pursue criminal charges. My question is this: Can I (or, rather, should I) ask for a signed letter from the company stating that I am returning all the money stolen in return for their agreement not to pursue charges now or in the future? Is this legal? Is this advisable?
Thank you for your time.
