at my job i was allowed to sign checks if the owner of the company wasnt around. i signed the checks for almost all our bils including payroll. now my x-boss is claiming that my paychecks were stolen and forged and although its true that he didnt signed some of them i have no proof i was allowed to sign any checks and my names not on the account as someone allowed to sign. i know im screwed with no defense or proof so what am I looking at? Theft, embezzlment, larceny,etc? ive never been in trouble before so is it possible i can avoid jail time? If not how long do u think i'll get? i worked for many years with him so if u add up all the paychecks i got its alot of money so this will be serious. thanks in advance for ur help/advice
