I Embezzled 30,000+ from my university company and will probably be going to prison

30 grand is too small a sum, depending on the company size, to pursue such cases. Primarily, the card being in the company name makes the company responsible for the purpose and compliance. Secondly, the company has multiple cards (if you have one for purchasing - procurement) which needs to be blocked and audit needs to be done for all cards once one gets compromised and financially reported (this is the main part). Senior executives might internally decide to not to go through that compliance reporting channel as this might open Pandora’s box for many department and open to third party investigations. Lastly, you probably bought all those stuffs for someone senior in your Organization who “verbally” asked you to buy without any electronics trail. Hence, you believed him/her and used your Personal account out of sheer trust. Lawyers and legal proceedings are funny, you know :)... talk to a lawyer, if you get any call, that’s your first recourse.
