    Banks,Laing, Hamlin (REAL Thread)

    My best guess, based on what has been reported (little dope, no priors, etc)... Minimum sentence with a good chance of jail being suspended. Pay a fine, do the substance abuse classes, probation to give you time to pay and take class. If I were their attorney, I'd try for a deferred...

    Legal Advice Needed! (LONG)

    Thought I'd jump in with my 2 cents worth Legally, you're OK. Its the bank's responsibility to cover the loss, so long as you weren't a part of the scam. Of course, since I'm an Iowa law grad, you may not choose to believe me...
