Thank you for your question. Be sure to go ahead and bookmark www.nateanswers.com for future questions.To be clear, the person was involved in a scheme (the fake invoice) in order to help get this money for someone else?
yes
Under the law, they are just as guilty as the person who received the money.In Massachusetts, the severity of a criminal act of theft depends on the level of theft involved. If the theft is under $250.00, it is a misdemeanor. In this case, it would be a felony, carrying up to five years in prison. However, in theft cases a lot depends on the criminal history of the accused and the ability to pay it back. Both the receiver of the money and the generator of the fake invoice would be required to make the restitution totaling the $6,000.00 that was stolen.
