In Minnesota, you may be charged with theft regardless of whether you stole physical property. You could be charged with theft for a number of reasons, including: bouncing a check, or falsifying certain reimbursement claims. 

The consequences of a theft conviction depend heavily on your history and the individual facts of the case, such as the monetary value of the property stolen. You could face up to twenty years imprisonment, a fine of $100,000, or both. If you are convicted of wrongfully obtaining public assistance, you may be disqualified from ever receiving such assistance in the future.
