Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Embezzlement is the intentional act of misappropriating funds or property that has been entrusted to one's care, custody, or control for personal gain or benefit. It is considered a form of theft, but the key difference is that the individual had lawful possession of the property and then diverted it for their own use. Conspiracy involves an agreement between two or more parties to commit a crime, extortion is the use of threats or intimidation to obtain something from someone, and obstruction of justice involves interfering with the legal process.
