My question involves criminal law for the state of:
I have a close family member that has been endorsing checks to his account without permission from the business owner. Apparently it has been going on for a couple of years. He says the amount is upwards of $150,000!! The insurance payments come in as checks, which he then would endorse the owners signature and deposit straight to his account.
Fortunately the owner is NOT filing a suit to the employee (relatives), but rather the financial institution that allowed for these activities to continue for so long.
We know it is a felony and a very serious offense. What we don't know are the Legal rights of the Financial institution and the victim (owner) in this case. Ultimately, the owner will be suing the bank, not the person whom forged checks.
Ideas?
