Legal Question in Business Law in Florida
Recieving property after termination from job
My old company fired me, ut also let me keep a company laptop, phone and gave me back a personal PC that I was using. The laptop had company information on it, as did my PC. Have I unknowingly accepted stolen or confidential information? Can they get in trouble for this as well as I?

If they gave you the laptop with the company information knowingly, then you cannot be guilty of any crime. You may wish to notify them and make them aware of their error so that they can make arrangements to have the information removed from your laptop and personal computer.
