Nicolas Barrens conspired with his manager to steal nearly $6,000 over 2 months from the grocery store where they worked. Each time Nicolas rang up a customer at the register, he asked the customer if he'd like a receipt. When a customer said no, Nicolas pretended to discard the receipt in the trash, but actually slipped the receipt into his pocket. At the end of his shift, he filled out a void slip for each of these sales and submitted them to his supervisor for approval. With the original receipt and the approved void slip, Nicolas removed cash from the register in the amount of the voided sales and split the proceeds with his supervisor. Nicolas committed what type of fraud scheme?
