<prompt> Human: My dad, a small business owner, says that he is being sued or will be in the near future, Im not quite sure. He wants to hide money by transferring it to my bank account so that its under my name and he cant lose it in a lawsuit. This sounds both illegal and traceable to me. Are there any negative consequences I could suffer if I let him do this? My family is struggling financially, and I dont want to refuse to help if theres something I can do, but I also really dont want to be held accountable for this if it is illegal.If it matters, Im a college student - so Im still partially dependent on my parents financially, but moving away from that they dont pay my tuition, its all covered by scholarships and loans. I have about 30,000 in student loans so far, and Im only halfway through and hoping to go to grad school - all of which is to say that I already feel myself to be in a tenuous financial position, and really dont want to cause any extra problems for myself in the future.  <response>: Your father really needs to talk to an attorney. There probably are steps he can take now that will help him to protect his assets that are completely above board and legal. Attorneys are not that expensive and it your father is going to have to get one sooner or later, anyway, if a lawsuit is filed.
