What is the name of your state? NJ
My father's business is going bankrupt. He closed the doors about 2 months ago. He declared personal bankruptcy with my mother too. The business will be bankrupt within a month.
He had my brother cash a $6,000 check for him about 2 weeks before he closed (my brother used to work for him) - so that our parents could have some money to get by for a few months while he was finding work etc.
My question is...Was that OK with what my father did? Could he get in trouble for it? He has the IRS, wage and labor and a small company on him because he owes money. He believes that he will be paying them back the rest of his life.
Could my brother get into any trouble for cashing the check for my father? It was a valid check and the funds were available. He didn't know that this could possibly not be legal? He assumed that he was just helping our father out.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
