<human>:  What tends to be traits, of the more successful embezzling schemes? Like the ones that are successful for years before being found out?
<bot>: There are lots of variations on successful embezzlement schemes, but for me the main thing to focus on is the human aspect, not the technical aspect. One of the most important things to keep in mind is to play the long game. Embezzlement can be a long term, drawn out process of extracting large sums of money. But most embezzlement schemes are uncovered within a few months. Usually the main reason for this is because the fraudster has made a small mistake, like spending too much money in a public way, or getting careless with accounting, or leaving a paper trail. But this is not the only reason that fraudsters get caught. Sometimes the fraud is discovered when people who didn’t have a hand in the embezzlement do something to expose the fraudster, and sometimes the fraudster gets caught because they choose to use a good embezzling method.
