Am I In Trouble?

Card image cap

Location: Colorado

Throwaway because I would rather be safe than sorry. I work at a relatively small local business with six different locations all owned and overseen by one individual. Last week, all of our shops were raided, for lack of a better word, by the local P.D., D.E.A., and F.B.I. agents. At these shops we sell a variety of items, with the product in question being legally questionable. We exercise a loophole impressed upon us by our boss in which we cannot legally sell this particular item, but we can sell something else and give the legally ambiguous item away. None of the employees at any location have heard any news about what is to come, but several of us are quite worried about facing legal ramifications. The owner has told us he is taking the matter to court, but we are concerned as to whether we are liable for complying with what we have been told is part of our job. Are we in any danger of facing legal consequences as employees?
