Description
Opinion by JUDGE STERNBERG Defendant appeals his conviction by a jury of three counts of felony theft. He contends that the evidence established that the victim of the theft was not the entity named in the indictment and that he was therefore entitled to a judgment of acquittal. We affirm. At the time of the events giving rise to the charges against him, defendant was president of Salem Investment Company, a lending company which was the victim named in the indictment. The evidence at trial established that from November 1978 to October 1979 the defendant made three unauthorized loans to himself from Salem in an amount totalling $60,000. All three transactions followed a similar pattern. In each case defendant persuaded Salem's attorney to act as the borrower from Salem, and then to turn the proceeds of the loan over to defendant. Defendant represented to the attorney that the purpose of this arrangement was to make a loan to a good customer who did not wish to appear on Salem's books. In each case defendant had the attorney execute a promissory note payable by him to Salem in the amount of the loan, and provided the attorney with a promissory note payable by defendant to the attorney in the same amount. When the unauthorized loan transactions came to light, Salem sued the attorney on the promissory notes executed by the attorney to Salem.
