Re: what kind of crime is this?

Based on what little information you've porvided, this sounds to me like it's probably more of a civil matter than a criminal one. Depending on the circumstances, you may have options in that regard, but I'm not sure how worthwhile it would be to pursue them unless there is a substantial amount of money involved and there is some reasonable prospect that these individuals have the ability to repay you any of it.
