QUESTION

Contract

Asked on Mar 24th, 2013 on Contracts - New York
More details to this question:
I got a friend working 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. Now 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? Please help. Thanks

He should be worried both civilly and criminally. I would not surprised if he is contacted by the authorities who are looking into bringing a criminal prosecution. He should be thinking of having a criminal lawyer available if necessary. He would be prudent to speak to an  criminal defense attorney before he speaks with any law enforcement authorities.
