If the business I start takes money from my mother in law for an order, and someone within the business steals the money, I'm paying her back out of my own pocket if necessary.

I'm not saying it's his fault that it got stolen, I'm saying it's his fault that his MIL never got reimbursed.

I was loathe to take direct financial responsibility for anyone’s loss due to the potential legal ramifications. Suffice it to say I have made it up to her in other ways.
