Default Does Passage of Time Help if the Legal System Gets Involved
Iowa

It has been nearly a year since the discovery of my crime of embezzlement. The group that was involved was willing to have me pay back the money and asked me to get therapy for my addiction.

If the crime is discovered by someone outside of the organization board at a considerable time following the embezzlement does the organization legally have to cooperate with the authorities to investigate if they don't want to provide evidence? and don't want to seek a criminal remedy? nor do they want the negative publicity?

The more time that passes, the less likely it is that charges would be filed. Eventually (after enough years), in most states and for most charges the statute of limitations will prevent charges from being filed.
