I shall explain it for you then, because I believe I never got around to summarizing my situation properly, making it appear fragmented.
A couple of weeks (2 months? Passage of time gets skewed when you think so much of the present and future) ago, the boss my mom is working/used to work for and her coworker stole a few million (actually 2 billion) of the funds supposed to be used in the stock market to get an increase (this is how the investment firm my mom works for operates).
The accomplice/coworker was being vague during the theft, and while my mom advised the boss not to give too much money to that coworker, because she sensed something brewing from the accomplice's area of supervision, the boss ignored my mom's advice.
Turns out he's also a culprit, and once the bomb (metaphor) exploded, they went in hiding.
Now, the investors under the coworker's supervision looked for that fucking idiot, but he was nowhere to be found. However, he was able to spread some lies that we held the stolen cash, not him, and so they're right up our asses thinking we're also accomplices with the thieves.
And it gets complicated, because it turns out one of the investors has a gang of mobsters at his disposal, so we also are being stalked by the guys, thinking the same as the above.
Fortunately, the situation has somewhat cooled, now that the thieves were televised. I believe they finally understood that we don't have it, and we were just being used. (we didn't have much choice back then anyway, Uncle had a stroke and we were on poverty lane).
But not all of them got the message. Some of the other investors (who also may or may not have henchmen) are still bothering and threatening us over this stupid dilemma.
And the thieves, while televised and therefore known to a lot of people to have stolen something, are not yet found. And we're (as in us + others who worked and were used) also facing a lot of charges for working with the company that we didn't know was a sham.
So for our safety (especially against the mob that still is hot on our tails), we moved around the area and decided to lay low until it cools down enough.
The charges, however, are just a little distraction, because we have proof that we were used, so our main concern is safety.
