Ya, seriously, let the brother sort it out on his own. Half of you are acting like he owes -you- something.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Hell he said he's going to get some legal advice to cover himself, the fact that he doesn't want to actively damage his family relationships further than they already are hardly constitutes grounds for telling him his uncle's going to rape him while he sleeps. As long as he makes sure he's covered legally it's up to him whether he wants to put the screws on his uncle, possibly stop someone else getting ripped off by him and also possibly alienate his family for the next decade or so.
Family dramas are a pain and I can understand not wanting to drag you parents through all the emotional bullshit that would result in taking him to court, get yourself covered and move on RK.

I can fully understand not wanting to really blow up family relations. Just make sure you go to a lawyer and get some real world advice from somebody who knows the legal end of it. Make sure you cover your behind and can prove it so that 10 years down the road you don't find out that you can't get a loan for a car or a house because your credit is trashed.

So how exactly would one get a lawyer for this kind of thing? I imagine you would need someone with some sort of financial specialty? How would you find one? I can't imagine looking in the phone book would be the best place to start.

He hasn't made it clear he's going to a lawyer for advice. If he is, that's all I ask. We're not pushing him to hurt his family relationship, it's because we're seriously concerned having seen some really shitty things happen with identity theft by family. We can be absolute douches when having fun, but in serious matters we look after our own. We don't want him making that mistake. (On a personal level, I've been in that position of choosing between protecting myself and risking my family. Different subject, just as serious. It's not an easy choice, but things with the family can be patched up. [And if they can't it's my opinion they're not worth it.] Screwing yourself never goes away, and leads to very, very bad places.) |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I concur with Lantyssa (amongst others) on the two points above. I'm not suggesting he sues, but you report shit like this to the proper authorities. Immediately. And you look for a new job. What's to say this won't happen again in his name?  In the end, it's his own life he's willing to let his uncle flush (or not). |

Just one thing to add.
You are liable for all charges for any Credit Card unless you are willing to prosecute. When I used to deal with these fraud cases, most were committed by a relative and most folks didn't prosecute.
