Question

My friend bought $100 worth of Microsoft points on xbox live. He is a under 18 and i dont think he has a record. What will happen to him if he got caught?

Answer 1

STOP STEALING.  

Answer 2

If he is caught he could be given a deal to do his punishment in a pti (pre-trial intervention) program. He would have to do community service amongst other things. or he could be given time in juvie.it all depends on the judge

Answer 3

That would be a federal charge. Prob Grand Larceny and Fraud... That's gonna be jail time if you so choose

Answer 6

  I say give em life sentence the laws are to low in america. If you take a life your life should be taken. If you steal you should go to jail 50 years and pay it back. If you cause a minor problem 20 years. With laws like this nobody would be commiting crimes.

Answer 7

Its fraud, possiblley theft, depends how he got the credit card. peding where you live, I would say probation if a plea, but depends on the judge, DA, and if he will be charged or if the retailer will fine him (your firend should go about it that way if possible)

Answer 8

He'll get caught if it was some strangers card and they call it in.

They will have to sign an affadavit saying they didn't make the charge.

Then I think it is up to them or the credit card company to contact XBOXLive and see what idiot is using the, basically, stolen Gamername.

So hopefully it was like his parents card or something...someone more 'understanding.'

Answer 9

  jail. it's called fraud.

Answer 10

ya if the person looks for who did it he might go to jail
