Don't ever think you can't get in trouble for simply being a member in online fraud schemes.
You certainly can. In the article above, they have stated at least 1,200 affiliates will receive subpoenas to appear in court. They will be given the opportunity to turn over all the funds they received from Zeekler. Just think if they made $100,000 or more....just think if they bought a house with the money or cars with the money or furniture with the money....and just think if they don't have the money to give back! At least if they can return the money, they might get lucky and step away without prison time.
Just a brief reminder, the internet does not mean you can participate in illegal activities and get away with it.
