/biz/ - Business & Finance

Hey /smg/, i didn't want to open a new thread since the issue is about "stocks" in a company, so i'm just gonna ask here.
First of all, i have zero knowledge about stocks and market or anything like that, so if i say retarded stuff then forgive me.
My question is, am i legally prosecutable if i happen to own "shares" from a company pursuing a Pre-IPO business model which, unfortunately, is actually a pyramid\ponzi scheme?
Say they bust and get sued into oblivion\end up being investigated, am i accountable or prosecutable if i own those "fake shares"?
I didn't buy shit, one of my boomer relatives used my personal information to set up an account with my data, but used his own money to buy those "shares" from the upper members of the pyramid.
What's worse, he's actually putting people down me and further increasing the pyramid size.
That company doesn't have anything in terms of personal information like SSN or my own bank coordinates\stuff, they were given my full name and surname and nothing else.
Will those (likely boomers again) laic retards sue me once the pyramid falls and they realize they wasted money because, technically speaking, there's my full name on those shares?
Can't i just deny everything? I could claim it's just a namesake and not me.
Thank you, sorry for the dumb question.
