Q: If I hired a gov employee who was telecommuting and they worked for me on gov time. Am I liable for fraud conspiracy?
I knowingly allowed for this to happen. If they were to face time-theft related fraud charges. Could I be considered a conspirator?
A:
Unfortunately, the answer is likely yes they could file charges against you. They may not want to waste their time unless you got some money/value from the deal.
Good luck and don't write confidential details on a public forum.
A:
It is best if you do not admit to committing a crime on a public forum. The police monitor this forum too.
