What is the difference between theft and embezzlement in Nevada?
Embezzlement (NRS 205.300) occurs when someone entrusted with another's property converts it to their own use. Standard theft involves taking property without permission. Both are charged based on the dollar value — above $1,200 is a felony. Embezzlement cases often involve employees, executives, or fiduciaries.
What are federal white collar crime penalties?
Federal white collar crimes (mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud) carry up to 20 years per count under 18 U.S.C. § 1341/1343. Federal sentencing guidelines are complex and depend on loss amount, number of victims, and role. An attorney with federal criminal experience is essential.
Can I negotiate a white collar crime plea deal in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada prosecutors routinely negotiate plea agreements in white collar cases, particularly when the defendant has no prior record and offers restitution. A skilled attorney can negotiate charges down, minimize prison time, and seek deferred prosecution or diversion in appropriate cases.
What should I do if I'm under investigation for white collar crime?
Do not speak to investigators without an attorney present. Preserve all business records (do not destroy anything). Retain a white collar criminal defense attorney immediately — early intervention before charges are filed often leads to better outcomes.
