Re: legal liablity

Yes, you hire a criminal defense lawyer. You have the most to protect, since you are not guilty. You should have a layer of protection between you and the corporation. If they are responsible for the loss, then you not only have to protect yourself criminally, but may have a civil cause of action depending upon the facts of the case.
