it's a very different situation. The money the artist stole never belonged to him, it wasn't his salary or a budget he was allowed to spend on the fabrication of the art. He had a specific contract and he was paid to take that 84k$ and lay it on a canvas to replicate a previous art piece he had done. The cash was supposed to be returned to the museum after.

So more along the lines of embezzlement?
