Answer to Question 1

Both money laundering and embezzlement are crimes involving illegally obtained money. Money laundering involves taking the proceeds of criminal activities and either using the money to promote crime or attempting to conceal the source of the money. An example might be a drug dealer who gets large sums of cash and filters the money back into the economy by showing it as income from a restaurant he also owns. Embezzlement is the fraudulent conversion of property that is already in the defendant's possession. For example, a corporation's financial officer writes an occasional check to herself on the corporate account, without the company's knowledge or approval.
