Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

Re: "Liason officers" - scam

I don't know if you could be criminally liable or not, in this situation, as not enough facts are known.

But, the scenario you describe sounds like one of those scams where an overseas criminal suckers someone into sending them money, using the suckers greed to trick them into going along. It appears likely you will be the victim of a crime, in this situation. Beware!

Re: Liason officers

I presume from your question that you are withholding a percentage of some sort of charitable donations and keeping it for your own use, perhaps considering it a fee.

There are not enough facts to comment on whether that is a crime, without knowing much more about the "donations," how and why you received them, your relationship with the people who give the donations to you, etc. It is quite possible this is illegal, and would constite a theft, but I would need more facts.

If you have been charged, or are being investigated, I would urge you not to speak with investigators about this matter without first retaining an attorney.
