I had this happen to a bplan we had for a healthcare company I'm a shareholder in. A guy took the company's biz plan and setup a company in Texas using our name. Raised money pretending to be our company and vamoosed with it.

Because he did it across state lines and he stole over a million we were able to bring in the FBI to track him down. They found him in Las Vegas. He's going to be doing some serious prison time.
damn, yeah i'd have to make sure i cover my end as much as possible.
