the fraudulent appropriation of the personal property of another, held in the capacity of agent, servant or trustee. In order to constitute embezzlement, this taking must violate some confidence. Hence, if the user believes himself authorized to appropriate this money, he does not commit embezzlement. Also, the money must come into his possession by reason of his employment. In the case of the appropriation of such funds, the law presumes that the person has embezzled; however, if no criminal intent can be shown, he is released. The offense is a crime in the statutes of all states and is punishable by imprisonment, usually for a term of years.
