QUESTION
Can my friend get into trouble with the law since his signature is in the contract?
Asked on Mar 24th, 2013 on Bankruptcy - Arizona
More details to this question:
I have a working friend who used to find investors for a company. He was not a worker directly of that company but for the clients he found. He used to be the one signing on the contract as the representative of that company. That company turned out to be scam and ran away with the money of many people. Now, since the contract contains the name and signature of my friend, can he run into any kind of trouble?

He can. My advice is for him to run, not walk, to a skilled criminal defense lawyer and give him or her all the facts. There are a variety of strategies in a case like this, and a lawyer possessed of all the facts and details can figure out the best one(s).

If he only signed on behalf of the company he should be protected.

The answer may well depend upon how he signed the documents. If it is clear that he signed as an agent for the company he may be okay. If it appears that he signed personally he may have trouble. He should consult with an attorney.
