A friend wants to open a business in my name. I don’t have to do any of the work, but he just uses my identity on all the paperwork. He and his millionaire friends all do this all the time, and now he wants me to become one of his puppets. Is this actually legal? What kinds of liabilities would I be opening myself up to by agreeing?

Throwaway account, I’m terrified for him to know

    Like we all said, NEVER DO THIS. And if you need a real life reference, watch RHSLC because that’s exactly what the girl tried to get her friends to do - and she is in prison for years now. She was a millionaire as well and the whole ordeal is documented on the show. The person wanting you to put the business in their name will rat you out and sell you out just to protect their assets. This happens every day.

      I had no idea about this. I just googled the show and am assuming you mean Jen Shah? I’ll definitely look into it

        Yes her and she tried to recruit one of the girls and the girl was like well hell no I’m not doing that. Jen was arrested shortly after and if you search back far enough on the gossip instas or the Ashley site, the girl she was trying to recruit went into more details and posted her receipts. Jen literally said all you have to do is put whichever business (SCAM) in your name, you’ll make so much money, you’ll just be my employee etc blah blah blah. It’s just such a good real life reference that played out in real time and also, Jen was already under investigation for YEARS anyways!!! The show was really the nail in the coffin for her. Just don’t do it, it’ll affect your family and kids if you do.
