This does not appear to be an issue of criminal law and, more importantly, you may be better served by trying to make this a civil theft claim. Under the civil theft statute, you can sue for three times the amount at issue, plus costs and attorney fees. This would make much more sense legally, based on your limited facts.

I strongly recommend that you contact n attorney immediately to discuss this issue and the applicable claims as there are various statutes of limitations and other issues that may limit your rights.
