Federal Penalties for Embezzlement
Federal embezzlement laws are broken down by the type and amount of money or property stolen. Federal embezzlement can be punished by felony or misdemeanor charges. Federal penalties can vary by case. Generally speaking, an individual could face imprisonment or fines.
Felony convictions could result in $250,000 fines, and misdemeanors could result in $100,000 fines. In addition to these fines, a judge may decide to impose an additional fine of up to twice the value of what the victim lost.
