Answer:

The answer is unethical and illegal

Step-by-step explanation:

Unethical behavior is an action that falls outside of what is considered morally right or proper for a person, a profession or an industry.

Embezzlement is a type of fraud, which is defined as a "knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment."
