My estranged wife made an unauthorized transfer of $1000 from my business account to her credit card. Can I recover anything and could she be prosecuted?
Untitled
Contact the bank holding your business account right away about the unauthorized transfer. Time is of the essence, because businesses often have to report unauthorized items very promptly under the terms of their deposit contracts.
If the bank refunds the money, it can choose whether or not to pursue the party who initiated the transfer. If the bank won't refund the money, you'll have to make the decision whether the business will go after your wife for restitution. Whether or not she could be prosecuted is a legal question you'd have to talk about with the police and/or an attorney.
