Legal Question in Business Law in New York
Should the government force a person to pay for doing something that was legal and carried no penalty at the time it was done?

I think the context greatly matters, which we do not have here. If you are being charged with a crime you need to consult with a criminal lawyer ASAP and so not say anything further about to anyone.
In general, ex-post facto criminal laws are strictly forbidden in the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
Kind regards,
