What is the name of your state? Califoria
I'm inquiring for a very good friend of mine. Her MINOR son is in trouble. Here's the story:
My friend's son has his own bank account (joint account with his mother). His friend provided him with a stolen check. He did not know it was stolen. It was a check payable to a third party (not payable to her son nor the friend). His friend asked him to deposit the check onto his account and withdraw the money out. The friend told him that he needed to cash the check but that he didn't have a bank account. My friend's son obliged, endorsed the check, deposited the check through the ATM and took the money out and gave it to his friend. Of course, the check bounced as it was a closed account. The bank contacted his mother and asked that she covers the money that was withdrawn from the bank.
Question: Who gets in trouble here with the bank? Can my friend file charges against her son's friend for giving him a stolen/bad check?
