I don't know if embezzlement is the correct term or if grand larceny is more appropriate. I have no prior record at all, but I dug myself a big hole over a couple of years and thought I could get out of it by taking money from my employer, slowly but surely over a 2 year period. I worked for a large insurance company and I had the authority to issue checks...30 or more of which I issued over those 2 years, ranging from a couple of hundred dollars to some over 5 or 6k. In total, I apparently wrote out about 80k worth...certainly doesn't seem like it now, as I have nothing to show for it accept a pending arrest and the possibility of saying goodbye to my wife for a while. I have no prior record and I am hoping I don't have to do time, or if I do I am hoping it will be less than a couple of years. I know there is an investigation currently underway, but I have not been called yet. Is there any hope for me at all, or am I going to spend the rest of my better days behind bars? I am 36 years old and I made terrible mistakes as a result of gambling and other poor choices. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
