Manhattan Beach Felony Grand Theft – No File - Attorney Success # 6
Our client was arrested and booked for alleged violation of Penal Code section 487 (Grand Theft), 484 (Theft by Use of Employer Discount) and 496 (Receipt of Stolen Property) after Manhattan Beach Police served a search warrant on him at his house and found hundreds of dollars worth of product from his former employer in his garage.
Our client, in his early thirties with a wife and an infant, had recently been fired after his employer discovered that he had been using employee discounts on the company website to make repeated purchases of product that were limited to one-time purchases. Our client, whose job duties included controlling the employee discount coupon codes, had discovered a way to make more than a single use of the coupons. He proceeded to then not only buy thousands of dollars of items and sell them on E-Bay, but also reverse the charges so that he would not even be charged the after-discount price. After being terminated, he continued making such orders and selling the product on E-Bay.
Our client came to our office devastated and remorseful. He indicated that he earnestly wanted to repay his employer every penny he wrongfully took by virtue of his employment, both while employed and after.
Our office immediately approached the employer and surprisingly, the employer was receptive to such reimbursement instead of prosecution. After a series of meetings and phone calls with both the employer and the Manhattan Beach Police Department, our office was able to secure a written settlement agreement that allowed our client to repay his former employer in exchange for their offer to write the Manhattan Beach Police Department to advise a civil settlement had been reached and they were no longer desirous of criminal prosecution. The District Attorney, upon being advised of this, refused to file charges.
Had our client been charged and convicted, he faced a minimum of one year in prison due to the high value of product stolen and a maximum of four years. Instead, charges were never filed and our client was very happy with our office’s tenacious negotiation of the settlement.
