Embezzlement

Someone who was trusted with your money or property (employee, business partner, caregiver, family member, or financial advisor) used it for their own benefit without permission. This often involves people in positions of trust who have legitimate access to funds or accounts. 

Common examples: Employee stealing from company accounts, bookkeeper diverting funds, caregiver taking money from elderly client, business partner misusing company funds, financial advisor making unauthorized transactions.
