    Your boyfriend OWES that bank $11,000 Dollars... (he spent that money after all or the bank could have simlpy taken it back resulting only in the returned check fees.) SO that money legally wasn't his to spend.


    Doesn't he ever check his bank Statements?

    And she is certainly quilty of passing bad checks and could go to jail over it... and likely will. They might even be able to argue he had a part in this. Depending on how many checks and how quick he spent it and on what...

    Depends on whether the judge or jury believes her story (presumably that she is an incompetent bookkeeper and didn't know that there was no money in the account). Does she know that she is supposed to keep track of the amount of money in the account?

    First were the checks really from the "MOM" This sounds like another issue with checks from people you don't know but?

    Both mom and boyfriend can go to jail. Boyfriend and mom will be expected to pay the money back,

    So where is the money now, what did boyfriend do with money
