Question

Nabal worked for Abigalco on the second floor, in accounting. One day he sneaked onto the 15th floor at Abigailco headquarters, the research and development floor. He was not supposed to have access to this area any more than a non-employee would. He went up the elevator to the 15th floor and sneaked into the offices there when the receptionist was distracted. Nabal found a top secret device in a room that Abigailco engineers were working on, stuck it in his backpack, and quickly headed out down the stairs. Nabal then sold the device to a competitor of Abigailco for $100,000. Which of the following is true of this scenario?

a. Nabal has committed embezzlement.
b. Nabal has committed fraudulent misrepresentation
c. Nabal has committed robbery.
d. Nabal has committed larceny.

Answer 1

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Robbery is the act of taking something that does not belong to you unlawfully, using either threat or force. Nabal took the top secret device that did not belong to him unlawfully - without the permission of the engineers. He therefore committed robbery

Embezzlement is stealing or misappropriating funds

Larcerny is setting a place on fire
