The Walrus, along with the Carpenter, are not accused of any specific crime in the story. However, their actions in the poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter" could be considered theft and/or exploitation of the oysters.
Here's why:
* They trick the oysters into following them: The Walrus uses flattery and deception to convince the oysters to leave their safety and come with him.
* They eat all the oysters: After a long walk and a song, the Walrus and Carpenter consume all the oysters, leaving none behind.
While the story is presented in a whimsical and lighthearted manner, some interpretations argue that the Walrus and Carpenter represent a more sinister side of human nature, highlighting themes of greed, manipulation, and the abuse of power.
