There are far too many variables and unknown facts to provide you with a meaningful answer. You best way of proceeding is speaking with an experienced business and/or probate attorney. With the current economic environment, the IRS is not an agency you want to take any chances with. Good luck.

Unless your LLC is a properly custom drafted LLC with 3 members, it is easy to pierce the corporate veil and you are going to be liable. It is cheaper to just pay the ticket, you are not going to avoid liability, due to several reasons.

The answer depends on the facts of your case thus I suggest you speak with a lawyer, but generally you will be looking at the civil litigation statute of limitations for Superior Court cases, assuming you meet the standards of being in Superior Court of NJ.

An "S" Corp is the accountant's best friend and your worst enemy. You need to retain an experienced licensed attorney to custom draft the documents required for an LLC. If you are not at least a 3 member LLC the "corporate veil" that protects you from liabilty can easily be pierced.

To properly answer your question a lawyer would need to review the entire agreement and any other information regarding your relationship and payments.
Is this stealing? How can one alert the authorities if this is against Minnesota or federal law?

Too many questions would need to be asked before we could give you a correct answer. You will need to setup a consultation with a lawyer.

There is no legal trading of any securities without a valid license for the appropriate security. If you do not have the right license for example to trade futures, and you do, then you have a serious problem. Don't do it!

If you are a personal guarantor, any judgment against you could attach to your home. So, if you file for bankruptcy first, buying a house would most likely be more difficult, but if you buy a home are sued, and the other side wins it could attach to your home as a lien.
