Employee theft
I'm a little confused on what I can do. I stole roughly $60,000 over 2 year after I stopped working for this small company by paying my credit cards with their account. They never noticed until now. I'm being charged with a class 2 felony in theft with deception. Now, I've been told that my previous employer wants to send me a 1099 form for $60,000 so he doesn't have to pay the taxes on it. If he does, that mean he would acknowledge that he paid me those monies, and I would not be able to be charged for the felony? Also, can he be held respondsible for not noticing the monies missing from his account. This is my first offense. I've never done a thing wrong, and I just went a little crazy cause my husband deployed to Iraq. Do you think I will go to jail? What can I do to get out of this?

Hello kjs:
Yes, you are confused... The 1099 he's sending you has NOTHING to do with HIS taxes, and NOTHING to do with your criminal case. It's simply an acknowledgement that you received x amount of money. Actually, it has to do with YOUR taxes. Now YOU'RE going to owe the IRS income taxes on $60K. You're right. I'm sure his stockholders will hold him responsible for letting you rip him off, but that has nothing to do with you. Look, I'm here to help you. There are things you can do, and things you must NOT do. Blaming your boss (or anybody besides yourself) is one of those things you mustn't do. You're doing the things you SHOULDN'T do, and not doing the things you should. Let's start from the top. It's not your boss's fault that you're a crook. No matter WHAT he is (lazy, mean, stupid, a bad boss), it has NOTHING to do with your theft. So, STOP looking for a way out THERE. The next thing you MUST NOT do is talk to the cops. Talking to them is going to remove ANY way out you might have had before you talked with them. The next thing you MUST do is hire the best criminal lawyer you can find. Do I think you're going to jail?? I'd give it 50/50. If you have a crap lawyer, I'd reduce it down 75/25 in their favor. excon |
