The facts are not completly clear however fraud can be a felony in Washington depending on the circumstances I have pasted a link to the statute below;
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.60&full=true If you suspect a crime has been commited or is ongiong you shuold report it to avoid allowing it to continue, accessory after the fact is the term, you may not be liable but better safe than sorry. Good Luck

The person who takes another person's information and steals that person's identity (for example applying for a credit card account in the victim's name) likely will face criminal charges once the police catches up with him.
The person who left clients' information unsecured so that others can access the clients' information likely may be sued by the clients. You may want to inform your friend so that he can take steps to recover the information and to secure it for the future. |
