Financial Crimes

Financial Crimes

In New York, the term “larceny” is used. Larceny is nothing more than a fancy word for stealing or theft. It includes several types, from petit larceny (shoplifting) to grand larceny (property or money stolen worth over $1,000). Sentences can range from a fine of $1,000 to up to 25 years’ prison.

All theft crimes have at least two results in common: A criminal record and damage to your reputation.
