If he files criminal fraud charges against you, feel free to contact me to discuss the legal representation and help you're going to need. If he sues you in Superior Court for 'fraud' or related claims, then you'll need an attorney to represent you in that, call me. I suspect that the worst that will happen is that you will get sued. This is a situation where 'buyer beware' applies. He'll have to be able to prove you were a co-conspirator and helped defraud him.
