Embezzlement of retirement fund by partner

[Jmknz]

Tens of thousands of dollars were embezzled from me by my partner. Operations of our partnership changed in 2002 due to death of another partner. I do not believe that the embezzlement continued after that time. I am aware that statute of limitations may prohibit criminal proceedings. Is a civil case possible?

If thousands of dollars have been purloined, I suggest you discuss this matter with the local police agency.

It all depends upon the deception deployed, as well as a few other factors.

If I were you, I'd initially discuss the matter with a detective from your local police or sheriff's department.

I'd then discuss it with your local district attorney or prosecuting official.

Finally, or maybe first, I'd discuss the matter with my local attorney and see what he or she advises.

Depending upon many factors, some of which you may not be aware, you might have a civil remedy or even a criminal remedy available to you.

If your business involves the use or receipt of certain federal or state funds, or serves certain federal or state populations, there might be other specific remedies.

Have those conversations, educate and inform yourself, then decide.

The LAST thing you need is FREE advice from anonymous strangers, when thousands of dollars are on the line.

Embezzlement

Is there a statute of limitations for embezzlement from employee benefit plans?

The answer is, "Yes."

The statute of limitations begins when the crime is discovered, not when it occurred. You may well be able to seek assistance through law enforcement.
