Which is reasonable. If you pay for something, you generally are at least slightly responsible for it. Just because you don't want to be responsible for it doesn't mean you aren't.
For example, if I buy a car, hand the keys to a friend, and they go out and commit a crime with the car, I'm going to bet that I'm legally culpable in some fashion.
- 0xmohit 10y agoI buy a gun. Lend [0] it to friend. Friend goes on a killer spree. Can I claim zero responsibility? No. [0] The friend didn't steal the gun.
- LyndsySimon 10y agoLegally, in most US states... it would be a stretch. The prosecutor would have to prove that the lender reasonably expected their friend to commit the crime. FWIW, I've lent firearms to people on multiple occasions, sometimes for months or years at a stretch.
- Arnt 10y agoI've bought a gift to someone almost every month for the past 40 years, and, eh, I'm responsible for that?
- st3v3r 10y agoNot the same situation. You transferred ownership,and after giving the gift, your involvement was done.
- Arnt 10y agoAre you saying that Bogdan did anything other than pay for the account? (Which seems a mite expensive, but I've given relatives more expensive things every year as far back as I can remember, so I'm not going to call that implausible.)
