What was the amount? You didn't say. So we have to assume the answer to our own question? You can do an internet search to get basic information on punishment for crimes in Maine.

Apparently not, but the word person is very important and the constitution, depending upon the facts, can apply.

Facts are needed here. I do not know what you are asking. It appears to be whether there is an addition for compensation, and you have not shown any facts at all, just a question. We at least need to know some facts in order to form an opinion.
I'm currently on H1b and I140 is approved (2013). I'm planning to join a new employer and can we port the I140 dates in future if my current employer is going to revoke my I140 once I leave them?
answered on Oct 1, 2015
Even if your current employer decides to withdraw the approved I-140, you can retain the priority date when you move to new employer unless it is revoked by USCIS or DOL for Fraud or misrepresentation. All the best.

I see from the Opinion of J. Sullivan of July 14, 2014, that the Priviliges and Immunities question was left open. I am wondering whether or not the parties pursued this question, as this portion of the motion to dismiss was denied. In particular, the court left the question as to whether... View More

If you want specific advice, you normally have to pay for that. This is not a basic legal question, it calls for an attorney to spend time on research.

The Supreme court makes law all the time. It interprets the constitutions of the various states and makes laws concerning that.

This question is too broad and hypothetical to answer. When starting a business, it's a good idea to talk to a business lawyer, a CPA, an insurance agent and a banker. Good luck.

Could be, depending the situation, but this is too hypothetical to be helpful (not even knowing the nature of the claims or damages). A local lawyer can advise based on your specific situation.

Hire an attorney who knows the local laws regarding this.
The Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik has said he will go on hunger strike if he doesn't get his demands; if he does, can the Norwegian government just ignore him, and let him starve?

I don't want to live my parents anymore and I'm 19 years old but I want to become a citizen and move out without getting deported.

To become a permanent resident, an US citizen should sponsor your visa(Since you said your family is here on visa, this does not apply to you). you should have a company willing to... View More
