Which sentence(s) is/are grammatically correct?
(1) He conceded stealing the money.
(2) He conceded to steal the money.
The sentences above are self-made/random, I would just like to know if the verb concede take the gerund or the infinitive form of the verb.
Thanks.

Re: Verb + verb form
Neither is standard.
--> He conceded that he had stolen the money.
--> He conceded that he had stolen the money.
