• It is a crime for a person to receive stolen property, even if that person did not actually steal the property.

• Extortion (also called blackmail) consists of taking another person’s property by threats of future harm.

The key difference between extortion and robbery is the former’s threat of future harm.

• Embezzlement occurs when, with intent to steal or defraud, a person in lawful possession of the property deprives an owner of his or her property for a permanent or indefinite period of time (i.e., conversion).

• Embezzlement is different than larceny because (1)
the property comes lawfully into the possession of the taker and (2) conversion is required.
