Reply #2: He could be in deep doo-doo and needs legal advice

[Spinzonner]

There is a federal component to Unemployment and so there are federal statutes and possible crimes involved in this. It should be obvious to him that the fact that they found him out despite being employed in another state that there is reporting and information sharing up the line and across the states.

AT the least, he should be prepared to return the money he obtained from State A under false pretenses (that might not be ALL the money). That might make them less inclined to pursue him legally.
