I don't know. I'd be afraid of being liable if I just blindly follow orders; that doesn't seem like an excuse. What if I get accused of being an accomplice?

- lukan 2y agoYes, if one knows the order is illegal, one definitely commits a crime as well. Even not being aware, can make you a accomplice, but you might get away if it was not obvious. But if it is obvious - and workers of a bank should obviously know at least some laws - following such orders would be just stupid.
- lupusreal 2y agoThey did do it though, and haven't been prosecuted. Having evidence of being manipulated by your boss seems to be a pretty good excuse. If they knew their boss was up to some shit but did it anyway, and stick to their story of being naively manipulated, they're almost certainly in the clear.
