Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts
embezzlement and accessory after-the-fact
I was a member of an LLC from 1999-2004. In 2001, the controlling member (an attorney) embezzled approximately $100K from a distinct and separate entity (he was also the president and counsel for that firm) and used the money to pay for expenses relating to the LLC. I was not involved in the transaction in any way whatsoever. However, disgusted with what he had just done, he confided in me the day after he made the transfer. I was shocked, but didn't feel as though I was in any position to do anything about it. My assumption was that he would return the money at a later date, but I distanced myself from his actions and do not know to this date whether or not he ever returned the money. I would like to report the attorney's misconduct, but do not want to incriminate myself in doing so. Once reported, could someone make an argument that I was an accessory after-the-fact for not having reported a crime that may have otherwise benefited the LLC, for which I was a part??? Thank you for your input.
