It will then calculate what a going wage would have been for the work...and any excess to that amount is what will need to be returned. That's my understanding. (of course the gifts, cars, jewlry, cash gifts, etc...must be returned and are a separate issue as to what may have been paid as wages)

However, I guess if they do not meet the "good faith" that a reasonable person would have known it was a scheme...either at the beginning or sometime after getting involved...then all bets are off and not only are the held accountable for all monies...but also criminally involved.

Perhaps not a clear cut as all that but that's the gist of what I understand.

Does anyone understand this stuff differently...thanks
