What Is Embezzlement in California?

Embezzlement under PC 503 is the fraudulent appropriation of property by someone entrusted with it. It covers employees skimming from a cash register, accountants diverting funds, executives misappropriating company assets, and fiduciaries misusing client money. The charge is often filed alongside PC 487 grand theft. Bail is tied to the alleged loss amount — a $50,000 embezzlement may carry $50,000 bail; a $500,000 scheme can push bail to $500,000 or more.
