§ 425 Larceny or embezzlement, indictment or information for.

When someone is charged with stealing or misusing money, bank notes, stock certificates, or other valuable financial items, the criminal charge doesn't have to list every exact detail. Prosecutors don't need to specify the exact coins involved, the exact number of bills, what denomination they were, or the specific type of security. It's enough to simply say the charge involves money, bank notes, stock certificates, or valuable securities in general terms.

This same rule applies if someone is charged with conspiring with others to cheat or defraud a person out of these types of property. The charging document can describe the property in broad categories rather than pinning down every specific detail.

This rule exists to make it easier to bring charges in these types of cases. Financial crimes often involve situations where the exact details, like the specific serial numbers on bills or the precise count of coins, are hard to pin down or simply don't matter to proving the crime happened. This rule lets prosecutors focus on proving the theft or fraud itself, rather than getting bogged down in unnecessary technical details about the property involved.
