One of CompTac’s employees in its accounting division, Alan Green, has a gambling problem. To repay a gambling debt of $10,000, Green decides to "borrow" from CompTac to cover the debt. Using his knowledge of CompTac account numbers, Green electronically transfers $10,000 from a CompTac account into his personal checking account. A week later, he is luckier at gambling and uses the same electronic procedures to transfer funds from his personal checking account back to the CompTac account. Given the facts of this case, discuss fully and answer the issue in question, by applying the rule of law to the facts of this case, and arrive to a conclusion. Has Green committed any crimes? If so, what are they?



Answer :

Answer:

Yes, Green has committed a crime known as embezzlement. Embezzlement involves unlawfully taking funds entrusted to one's care for personal use. By transferring money from CompTac's account to his personal account without authorization to repay his gambling debt, Green has committed embezzlement. Returning the funds later does not negate the initial crime. This act is illegal and punishable under the law.
