Is Embezzlement a Felony in New York?
Yes, embezzlement is considered a felony offense in the State of New York. However, which type of felony you face depends on the value of the allegedly embezzled property. Remember, embezzlement is one of the ways in which a person can commit grand larceny under New York law.
For example, if embezzlement involves property valued between $1,000 but less than $3,000, you can be charged with grand larceny in the fourth degree, which is a Class E felony that carries a maximum prison sentence of 4 years
If the offense involves property valued between $3,000 but less than $50,000, you can be charged with grand larceny in the third degree, which is a Class D felony that is punishable by imprisonment for up to 7 years.
If the offense involves property valued between $50,000 but less than $1 million, you can be charged with grand larceny in the second degree, which is a Class C felony that can result in a maximum prison term of 15 years if convicted.
Finally, if the offense involves property valued at $1 million or more, you can be charged with grand larceny in the first degree, which is a Class B felony that can lead to imprisonment for up to 25 years if convicted.
