estafa case

budz wrote:I want to ask legal advise regarding estafa case. I�m really bothered because my husband has been charge by estafa. The story is that his cousin ask my husband to sell his binlid worth 850,000. My husband has sold it for a 1 week term without check. After a week when my husband went to collect for the payment the entire warehouse is vacated already.  My husband is willing to pay his cousin despite the fact that he did not collect the said amount. He issued 5 pcs of check; 4 checks amounting to 17,000 with a date  that will mature monthly and another check worth 850,000 without a date. He told to his cousin that tha 17,000 will be the monthly interest and the 850,000  without date. He told his cousin to deposit it upon his confirmation that his account has already enough funds. Meanwhile just deposit the check amounting to 17,000 monthly. We are then surprise that we received a letter from his lawyer about the check that bounce amounting to 850,000. He put a date to the 850,000 and deposited it instead of the monthly 17,000.. To our surprise it was not his cousin who filed the complaint. It was another person, since the check is under the payee CASH. I  was really bothered  because by next  week the subpoena  will probably be release. We send them the payment scheme signed by  lawyer but they still file the case. Please help me, enlighten me with the proper procedures. Is my husband will be put in jail? What are the actions that we can do? Please..please badly need your help.
