Defendant, minion, is charged with theft over $20,000 under $100,000. He was stealing for Ring Leader. Ring Leader, in the meantime, has several other people stealing for him. All together, well over $200,000 is stolen by Ring Leader through his minions.

Question: Can Defendant/Minion be charged with EOCA with a basis of theft over $200,000?

Or am I stuck charging minion with theft over $20 under $100k because minion actually stole that amount?

do you have any evidence that minion is in on the larger conspiracy? if not, ur stuck with the lower charge in my opinion.
