Re: business loss

I advise against submitting any information which can and will be interpreted against you as an admission of guilt. This sounds like a ruse to get you implicated or fraud on insurance company I would stay away from. You have no duty to cooperate with anything, especially if you are innocent.

On the other hand, if you are indeed guilty of theft and there is evidence of your guilt, it might be advisable to negotiate with the woman in order to avoid possible police investigation and charges. You should discuss this in detail with an attorney.
