(iii) Property: Embezzlement statutes do not limit the scope of the crime to conversions of personal property.
Statutes generally include conversion of tangible personal property, intangible personal property,
and choses in action. Real property is not typically included.
(iv) of another: A person cannot embezzle his or her own property.
(v) Lawful possession: The critical element is that the embezzler must have been in lawful possession of
the property at the time of the fraudulent conversion, and not merely have custody of the property. If the thief
had lawful possession of the property, the crime is embezzlement; if the thief merely had custody, the crime
at common law is larceny.
Methods of embezzlement

LEGAL
white-collar crime
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) in 2002 to improve corporate governance -- the
relationship and accountability between corporations and their stakeholders.
• However, in certain societies like some in Western Africa, it was customary that
businessmen or even government officials work on tips -- an important and legal
source of income. This is referred to as the dash system, where a dash is a tip.
• In Russia and other countries, bribes are sometimes required in order to land a
contract -- which can make conducting squeaky-clean business impossible.
