Answer 1

I am sorry your Dad got taken advantage of but since he obviously knew about everything that happened he has no one to blame but himself.

Answer 2

You can speak to a lawyer, but since your Father was involved in the first place, he's a partner in committing the credit fraud.  Since the loans are in his name, and he knew about them. I believe he is responsible.

Answer 3

Your dad is very naive if he didn't see trouble around the corner.  Sorry he has to learn this the hard way.  It is probably worth consulting an attorney but he needs to do that himself.
