Section 523(a)(4): Larceny

Section 523(a)(4) provides an exception to the general


discharge for a debtor who wrongfully takes the assets of an


objecting creditor. Larceny is distinguishable from


embezzlement because in larceny, the original taking of the


property must be unlawful. Where payments are lawfully


received pursuant to a contract, larceny cannot exist for


purposes of excepting a discharge.
