I have a friend whose money was stolen by a business person who claimed to be a Certified Financial Planner, and a Licensed Investment Broker, among many other things. The business person was in school getting their MBA in Financial Planning at the time, and has now graduated. My friend wants to know if the school will potentially revoke his MBA degree based on the fact that he falsified his information with the school, and will be convicted of a felony soon. Please only respond if you understand the question fully and have informed knowledge on the subject.
Thank you all for your answers.

The business person was nominated for "Student of the Month" where he was given a chance on their newsletter to promote his business. It was on the school’s newsletter that he falsified that he had investment licenses (but my friend found out he has none), and several other things regarding his financial planning experience.

My friend and I are thinking that he most likely falsified his application to the school. She’s been informed by law enforcement that he committed several felonies, including infinity, affinity fraud and a ponzi scheme, and will most likely be convicted of a few felonies. Based on this information, would the school honor his MBA, if he misrepresented himself to the school as well?

1.I am being charged for Automobile insurance fraud. DA’s conclusion states accident never happened in 2003. And that 1 guy and i planned and got recruits from two cars.

2. Total of eight people totaling in the two vehicles. Which this concludes that its organized crime, when more than 3 are trying to
commit a crime so everyone benefits.

3. The 1 guy, admitted to 6 accidents that he planned, and one of those so called " Staged accidents is where my name is"

4. To make long story short, two people from the car that i was in are stating that it never happened and that i and my friend planned it. One of those is my x-gf, it was her car. THey all got imunity

5. Reconstruction accident experte, concluded that the two cars colided and one had others paint on it. And the car was drivable.

I am stressed, im in superior court and my lawyer is telling me to plea guilty , and get probation and a FELONY. I am a college student senior in engineering and i want to take it to court, because its a fifty fifty chance.. but the outcome if i loose is jail..

Ther is so many inconsistancies is everyone’s story, but my lawyer tells me that even if there is , dosent mean that they are lying…

Any advice for me??

My step daughter has gone insane after her mothers death. The both of us were named as executors of the will. She STOLE my copy of the most recent will,and I filed a report with the sheriff. The sheriff told me that "if" a copy of the other will could be produced,then charges could be laid, otherwise,at this time it’s just a civil case. My step daughter entered my house under false pretenses, when I wasn’t home, and stole my copy of the will,and then went and filed an earlier ‘version’ with the court. She also sued me to have me removed as executor because her layers did a background check on me. I have a felony from over 25 years ago. State law says I can be removed because of my record. The lawyer that did the wills for my wife refuses to help me. He said I must get a statement to release my late wife’s records, from my stepdaughter, because SHE is now the executor. If I go to the length to drag that creepy lawyer into court, I would then really want the step daughter charged with FRAUD and BURGLARY , and HARASSMENT. I’ve already been ‘banned’ from ever seeing the step-grand kids. They all call me "Gran-pa up-up". Not only did they lose their beloved grandma, now they are denied gram-pa up up as well. I have the FULL support of the other step children. (all of them are over 21)
How can I get the copies of the will, without having to charge my stepdaughter and her redneck husband with criminal ,charges?
I just want to have that will in my hands to SHUT HER THE FK UP!
I have some assets for a lawyer, but if I have to go there, she and her husband have to go to jail. Is that the only way?
I have several signed and notarized statements from witnesses as to the existence of the second will, and it’s provisions. That includes my wife’s sisters, my mother, and the minister that performed our marriage. Now she is refusing to provide the paperwork I need to complete the ‘SIMPLE ASSUMPTION’ so I can get the house transferred into my name. She says her lawyers say she can sell it. The mortgage is UNDERWATER ! She doesn’t care, she’s NUTS ! What can I do?
the house does belong to me, but in the ‘earlier’ version of the will, there is a clause that since we weren’t married, the house should be sold asap, and if it didn’t sell after 6 mos. , then I would have top battle it out with the Bank of America home loan dept. But after we were married, the UPDATED,STOLEN will gave me the house, and ALL the incoming insurance money from AFLAC. I really think handcuffs are gonna look good on her !
After the sale,any equity, if any, would be split fairly and legally. 50% for me, the other 50% split between the three adult kids.

1. there are recordings, that the DA has that i told my gf to get a lawyer before going to the police station to give a report.
2. She also recorded me as i said, " ur gona let cops scare you, u are a strong woman" .
3. WEll i have witneses against me that are lying, and they blame me for a Automobile insurance fraud they participated and stated i coached them on what to say. " they saved their ass, and lied, and u can tell by recordings of their stupidity.
4. One guy admited to one fraud, and got confused of another fraud he did . Well this guy is doing anything to get out of his Troubles and points the finger at me
5. Now their is a guy who pled to 38 charges of automobile insurance fraud, did 6 months in jail for it, and also stated i was his associate and that one of thoese accidents he plead guilty was " the paper accident he staged that i was in" only in paper.

A. In conclusion, out of the so called paper accident. of the total of the two cars supposidly crashed, there are 5 people stating that the accident was only done in paper.
B. 3 people in my gf car are stating it did happen, this hapened in 2002 and the case was oppened in 2008.. MY lawyer tells me to plea guilty because no jurror is going to belive that
(C)
All these people are lying because they wanted to plea a deal and they knew cops wanted me.. Im stuck and i have no idea what to do ,

3-yeras probation
0 fines
300 hours community service
-and a felony..

NOTE: Sucks, im trying to tell my lawyer im still in school and i graduate as a EE major next year.. I want to plea to a lesser charge, and have the felonies dropped.
If i plea not guilty, just to have more room time and breathing time. As someone stated in this answer, " i dont think i’ll have the choice to , take the deal offered in the beginning" ??
– He gave me a due date, and i changed that due date and he was ok with it.. BUT he goes on vacation the next week, so i think im being rushed.. ( its been 2 years now going to superior court)
– If i change my lawyer at this time, and get a private i dont think thats gona change anyhting. Cuz all the facts are there. but id like to plea to lesser charges, and drop the felonies!!!!!

found out there is a warrant out for felony misuse of credit card for me in ohio, however, i have never lived there, been there, nor do i know anyone that lives there. i definitely didnt do the crime!!!! called and was confirmed that a warrant is in my name, however i talked to someone about how it is ID theft, and how i have proof of living in a totally different state, in another part of the country. some secretary told me that i need to come there and turn myself in, but when i talked to someone else they told me to just talk to someone in fraud/theft and they will try to straighten it out so i wouldnt have to (live in louisiana). i am also pregnant, so i don’t want to go there and have to go to jail since i am almost 7 months along!! scared out of my mind!! should i just go to a lawyer and see what (s)he can do??? not sure where to go. filed a report with ftc.gov and fraud alerts. should i have to turn myself in when i didnt do it??
i did place fraud alerts on my credit report (got one after i found out about the warrant). and found 2 address in ohio, i’ve never lived there nor know anyone who has. and am working on getting that straight too…. worried because i dont want to go to jail when i didn’t do anything wrong, esp that!!!! not because i did it!

I have a question. How much time can one do or what is the maximum sentence for a Fraud Conviction.?
Here is more info……..

A friend was picked up by the FBI last year in October for Theft by Government contract.(Medicaid Fraud). On a 20,000 bond. We paid 2,000 and got him out. so now he has an arraignment in Oct. and A trial by jury in Nov.
His story……Got in business with someone who is the owner of the said company that the fraudulent billing took place. He is not the owner yet the department of Attorney General decided to include him as a part owner because he was the one who managed the billing and the patient information which as stated by the Medicaid Investigators, were all stolen and used without the patients knowledge. Making matters worse, Doctors signatures were also fraudulent, meaning someone must have forged those too. The total amount received fraudulently, over 200,000.00. Which i think is a class 2 Felony.

So what are the chances that he will get less time by using the landownership defense as a strategy and get off on maybe probation and some fines? His lawyer keeps telling him that all he will get is a couple of months probation but i disagree.

NOTE:Most of the billing paperwork has his name on it. so he can not say he didn’t know what was happening.
So all you lawyers out there help me let him understand that he is in for a long hard ride in jail. what do you all think?
@Honey, Thank you for the information. His name appears on most documents because he basically ran the company as instructed by The Owner. Yet the owner, in his own defense claims on not knowing of the fraudulent activities. The owner also claims that he only paid him to market and get in contact with doctors. So basically He has excluded himself from the said activities.
additionally, he sighed off on all documents. (Allegedly Fraudulent )
This happened in Texas

My sons marriage is on the Rocks. They separated after filing a joint Federal return. He told her when the refund check arrived to call him and he’d endorse it and split the money with her, which seemed fair since it was all based on his income because she hadn’t worked. She had a better idea, forge his name and keep all the money.
In SC forgery is a felony, not to mention it was a Federal check. Now he’s just trying to get a copy of the check back from the IRS to see how and where she cashed it. Are spouses immune to committing fraud on a partner? If he’d signed someone elses name on a check, he’d be in jail already. The local cops have told him the best he might get is his day in family court, for a Federal Check? Awe come on now!
Is this for real? It doesn’t sound right.

marriage is likely, but as i’ve been suckered into watching Sandra Bullock’s recent film "the Proposal" i’m scared of the consequences. Something about Marriage fraud immigration being a felony and the up to ,000 fine + jail time…..kinda scares me… let me know if you folks know of anything, and more importantly can link me to a credible online resource for further research (as i’ve been looking but keep finding lawyer websites)

Someone is calling friends any family.Saying I have 24 hrs or these supposed charges of fraud and felony.Think its just a scare tactic to find me.Vehicle is parked in plain view every day.Just don’t know my address.

Who decides between felony and misdemeanor?

Why don’t I have a say in it? I was the victim.

16yrs ago I unknowingly deposited a stolen check in to my account, and was convicted of felony fraud. I am seeking a carrer in Law Enforcement and every option says i will be dined because of my felony what do I do. I made a mistake I except that. Now as a 37yr old married father of three I am looking for security for my children. Any suggetions would be good.

I want to know who really suffers when we block people from working if they have been convicted of a felony.

My personal view for what it’s worth is that everyone should have a chance to work and earn a DECENT WAGE but many of our laws and rules in the work place bar people with records from working.
For instance if you’re a convicted felon in some states you can’t get a license to be a BARBER or a REALTOR. Why? I understand not letting a convicted felon working in a situation that got them into trouble in the first place. I wouldn’t necessarily let a convicted bank fraud felon work in a bank. But if we continue to block people from so many jobs we reduce their alternatives. I would rather have an ex-felon or ex-con working hard everyday for a living than waiting for me to come home from a hard day at work and knocking me in the head for money to eat and survive.

Let people WORK!

Workers at Oregon’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services have turned in nearly 200 people to police for suspicious documentation, an effort that overwhelmingly singled out Latinos.

This summer, the DMV changed a long-standing policy: Rather than simply refuse service to customers suspected of presenting phony or altered documents to obtain licenses or identification, employees began to alert police.

From June through August, 140 people were turned in to police — roughly 94 percent of them with Latino names, according to DMV records obtained by The Oregonian. Oregon State Police and police agencies in Portland, Beaverton and Albany recieved the most referrals. Of those 61 cases, 13 people have been convicted of crimes, and a dozen others are pending prosecution, according to police agencies surveyed by the newspaper. Three others were cited but not charged with a crime.

For the remaining 33 cases, some were arrested but no charges were filed or their charges were later dismissed; some were never arrested or charged; or authorities could not find a case file for the person.

In one case, an Oregon City woman was arrested and charged with a felony only to find later that her identification was legitimate.

State officials say the new approach is a work in progress.

"We, too, are in the process of analyzing this to see what have been the results," said Lorna Youngs, administrator of Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services.

She said the agency will evaluate the new procedure after it has been in effect for at least six months. The review will include how DMV employees followed protocol and what police agencies did with referrals. If Latinos make up the bulk of suspects, state officials will investigate further, Youngs said.

"We want to know, is this ultimately going to be a deterrent of fraud?"

So God has no problems with illegals who use document fraud to obtain a better life ? Can Americans have laws that offer the same special treatment. Do Churches condone document fraud knowing illegal aliens use fake documents to have this better life. What is the Churches stand on illegals they know who lie,cheat use fruad to have a better life? Are the illegals serving God or the Devil ?

I purchased a car nearly 7 weeks ago for 00.00. I paid by check and the seller cashed my check. I have a copy of it with his signature from the bank. I have been in contact with the seller and he kept telling me the title was going to be FedEx to me. First the seller had to wait 10 days for the check to clear he said before sending the title then he said he sent it but it was a weekend… then he said the car had to go through an inspection to be shipped to me… I am in Michigan and he is in Maryland. Next he said he hadn’t shipped the title so I could get insurance on it…. he basically gave me the run around for 30 days and after 30 days you are NO LONGER eligible for the Ebay Motor Sales Insurance. This I found out afterwards. NOTE: He has my money and my car… I have contacted Ebay. I have filed formal complaints with the Ebay People and they say all they can do is suspend him?????? This is crap in my eyes. It has now been 7 weeks plus. I have contacted ..
I have contacted local athorities here and have the police working on it but they say their hands are tied too. No jurisdiction since the crime took place in Maryland and not here. Maryland police tell me the crime took place here. How can that be???? I just want my car or my money. Isn’t this a FELONY on the sellers part???? And ebay doesnt care???? I thought ebay protected people. It would be different if they said they couldnt help me if I had received my car but I did NOT receive the car and the seller has my 00.00 – HELP ME! Who can I call next??????
"Uncle Jed Knows" – so are you telling me that there are millions of buyers daily on ebay that are STUPID? Transactions take place every second on ebay and millions of auctions end daily. They sell cars every single day. It was NOT underpriced the car I bought and I was not the only bidder. Maybe I was stupid to buy from a person with numerous sells and 100% feedback but paying first is the ebay rules. I wish there was another way around it too, but that is how they set up the auction. I still have a hard time believing that there is nothing ebay can do for me or others that find themselves in this situation. I will continue to search to find answers and I will take suggestions people give me here also. I am sick over my loss of money and it’s not a drop in the bucket to me. I work hard and I am a believer that I have ‘Rights’ in this world.

I am Required to do a background check. Felony is unrelated to children. It is a Felony for Conspiracy to Medical Fraud. It haunts me everyday of my life. I just want to be there for my children and be able to volunteer in their classrooms. I just am not sure if they are only looking for child related charges or things that harm or have to do with children.

I pulled my credit report through a company called Identity Guard and in it it contains background information and according to that I was arrested and charged for drug posession a felony in the state of Arkansas I have never even been to Arkansas and that definately was not me I live in Ohio. I dont know what to do to find out if this is a mistake on the part of Identity Guard or if someone has stolen my Identity. I called Identity Guard but am just getting the run around from them and my local police department will not help me until I can prove this is really listed under my social. I am going for a great job interview on Saturday and am afraid I wont even be called back If this does show up on my background check. Arkansas is not a public information state and they want you to pay for everything. I dont know where to begin Please Help!!!

Is identity theft a misdemeanor or a felony?

there are seven counts of felony, one count of grand larceny and one count for identity theft. I’ve been told that the accused has been involved in this type of activity before but has never served any time and I’m not even sure if there is a record.

Currently in most states if you’re married then you’re automatically considered the father of a child born to your spouse. If you’re unaware of possible infidelity, you’re not thinking of getting a paternity test. You’re likely not to bring the issue up because you’re being misled. If you find out later, that you’re not the biological father, you’re still liable for child support because you didn’t question paternity within a specified time limit. The worst part is that Census numbers indicate that women lie in these cases 30% of the time. So, strikingly, there are a lot of men supporting children who aren’t their own. The other troubling part is that you can’t make this behavior a crime. It should be a felony to do this. If a man doesn’t pay child support,in most statutes he’s convicted of felony. However, if a woman commits paternity fraud, there is no legal recourse civilly nor criminally for the man. This is a serious inequality of the law; no equal protection.

my recently recived a check in the mail for someones bill for 0. so he took the check, changed the name for whom the check was for and took it to a gas station and spent it. the check was already signed and everthing. he just changed the name. he got arrested for one day for it and has to go to court. the charges are felony for a ultering and publishing. a misdeminor for larceny. with up to 14 years jail for the felony. a fine and or jail for the other. this is his first time being in trouble. he has a clean background. him and his wife work, own a house and have a child. this is in michigan. he is willing to pay any fines. what are the chances of jail time? other people told us that they have known people who used cashed other peoples checks for thousands of dollars and only got a fine. so is he safe too?
honestly the county he is in the jail there is small and hardly ever has room. i would rather see the drunk drivers and murderers and rapist go in jail

Recently, I went shopping with one of my friend girls [June 18th] and she purchased many items, some were for me [she got me clothes and a computer], and she had told me that she got tax money back and social security money [I asked why she was buying so much]. Anyways, she signed for the credit card and I had no idea that this was "Identity Theft", I basically just accepted an abundance of gifts for my upcoming birthday. Anyways, the police came to my house and they had surveillance of me and her shopping together, but, I knew NOTHING of the ID theft. I also did not sign for any of the credit card receipts. All I had, basically, was stolen property. I returned all of the property and was very cooperative with the police. To top this all off, I was charged with Theft I, Fraudulant use of credit card–felony, and conspiracy. I want to know if I have a chance of not going to jail [I live in Oregon] or prison for that matter. I was released from jail and have a court date in three weeks. I want to prove my innocence [ I have no criminal record, and am still in high school with a 4.0 GPA] but I probably look guilty as I was WITH her when she was shopping. Although, like I said. All they have is my word saying that I did not do it or know. Please give me advice!
Do you think I will have to pay for this?
I realize that accepting so many gifts was fishy, but, this "friend" had always went on extravagant shopping trips like this, so, I thought nothing of it

My b/f has had his ex-wife on his health insurance for 5 years. He gave his employer 5 years ago the court order to pay child support but his employer never took his ex-wife off the insurance. Now since he’s going to marry me, he’s taken her off and will put me on once we marry. Now his employer is telling him he’s guilty of insurance fraud and if her bills are over 5K they will fire him and convict him of a felony. Can they do this?

I am located in Long Island NY the career department of my college has withheld my resume from potential employers stating that b/c I have a felony they will lose there connections if a company does background checks.

I was convicted of a nonviolent felony first time offender and it was in the 4th degree I am an honor student majoring in Marketing. I want to sue the school and press charges against the employee that commited a crime right in front of me. I do not have money at this time, but I know I have a strong case.* If you are a lawyer located on the island and are interested please e-mail me.

He may be trying to use this vehicle as trade. First can I be implicated in fraud if he does this. 2nd my legal options are to get him to turn over the plates on his own or to file papers for operating without owners permission ~ a felony stop will be made. I don't want him arrested but I can't have the legal trouble that will insue if he and his pot smoking buddies get into a wreck in a truck that has my info attached to it. Any legal advice out there?

I just found out that my sister took the title of my vehicle and signed my name to put the car into her name. This probably happened about a year ago without my consent. I let her drive the car for a while, but now she has the title to her name. Isn't this a felony, to forge someone else's signature and put the car under her name? Also while I was out of town, she even sent a written notice in my name giving her permission to enter my house. Being a clear infraction of the law, what can I do, and what are the penalties she must endure if I press charges? Is this jail time or a slap on the wrist? Any advice would be appreciated.
