If they ask you (and they probably will), it is a test to see if you are honest. If you lie, or don't give a direct answer, they may very well dig deeper. Other answers have noted legal repercussions. That is a real concern. Might be a good idea to consult a lawyer before sending the paperwork in. Or bail. Bail out. Not the right job. | |
