Answer:
Misappropriation of assets involves the actual theft of an entity's assets. This can be accomplished by common theft or the following. Causing an organization to pay for goods and services not actually received (for example fictitious vendors or employees). Using an organization's assets for personal use.
Whistleblowing occurs when an employee reports illegal conduct at work that is not related to workplace rights. For example, you are a whistleblower if you report that your company is cooking the books; engaging in shareholder fraud; producing faulty, dangerous, or mislabeled products; or lying on its tax returns.
This would be an example of an "Alford Plea". An Alford Plea is not the same as a guilty plea, as it is used by those who claim innocence but plead guilty for a lesser sentence. This is one of the many issues with American Law, as we are forcing those who may not be guilty into accepting a guilty deal to lessen their time.
I hope this helps! :)
