it amounts to stealing from your employer. Surely you believe theft should be illegal, even if the victim is not the government?

  Kail was indicted in 2018 on 19 counts of wire fraud, three counts of mail fraud, and seven counts of money laundering. Where is the thief charge?

    > The U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Resource Manual Section 941.18 U.S.C. 1343 cites these as the key elements of wire fraud: “1) that the defendant voluntarily and intentionally devised or participated in a scheme to defraud another out of money; 2) that the defendant did so with the intent to defraud; 3) that it was reasonably foreseeable that interstate wire communications would be used; and 4) that interstate wire communications were in fact used.” So wire fraud is defrauding money. Most people consider fraud to be a form of stealing, although it is obviously different in the eyes of the law. Either way, it is getting money that is not rightfully yours.
