First, the legal consequences of impersonation

It may be a crime of fraud to bear the consequences of signed contracts or other documents and compensate the losses of impersonators and signatories. If you use your position to impersonate your signature, you also need to bear legal responsibility.

First, the actor must take advantage of the convenience of his position, that is, the convenience of managing and handling the property of his unit. If the actor does not take advantage of his position, but takes advantage of his familiarity with the environment and situation of his unit because of his work relationship, it cannot constitute this crime.

Second, the illegal possession of the property of the unit has been implemented. The ways of illegal possession can be embezzlement, theft, fraud and other means. If the illegal possession is not the property of the unit, it cannot constitute this crime.

Third, it must reach a large amount to constitute this crime.

According to the provisions of the Civil Code, whoever commits this crime and the amount is relatively large shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention; If the amount is huge, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years and may also have his property confiscated.

Second, what is the crime of forging others' signatures?

Forging someone else's signature constitutes fraud. If it is used to make perjury, it constitutes perjury. If it is used to forge government documents, the circumstances are even more serious. Signature has legal effect, and forged signature bears legal responsibility. However, just forging a signature does not constitute a criminal offence, and it is necessary to comprehensively judge whether it constitutes a crime and what kind of crime it constitutes by combining the specific behavior, social harm and harmful consequences after forgery.

Where an economic contract is used for fraud, the amount of fraud shall be determined by the actual amount of fraud by the actor, and the amount of the subject matter of the contract can be considered as a sentencing circumstance.

If the actor has one of the following circumstances, it shall be deemed that his behavior belongs to fraud by using economic contracts for the purpose of illegal possession:
