Charges of Larceny Over $1,200 Against Account Manager Dismissed Prior to Arraignment

Our client managed accounts at a Boston financial institution. Security personnel at this business learned that our client uncovered what they believed to be a theft scheme involving our client. The internal investigation revealed that our client would take discarded equipment from the institution and sell it on the second market. They alleged that the scheme deprived the company of tens of thousands and that our client received a financial benefit of a similar amount from his actions. Charges of larceny over $1,200 under G.L. c. 266 section 30 issued against our client. That is a felony in Massachusetts. We successfully moved to continue the arraignment on several occasions.

The prosecutor agreed to a dismissal of the charges prior to arraignment upon a reasonable amount of restitution.
