Forgery is a crime. A "crime" must have two elements - (1) a criminal act, committed with (2) a criminal intent. Only you would know if your partners motivation satisfied both elements of the incidents. If they did, your partner committed a crime and could be reported and prosecuted.

As for liability, a bank has an obligation to verify the authenticity of the signatures on all checks before cashing them. They do not do this. It is cheaper for them to let bad checks go through and then bounce them retroactively when fraud is discovered. Whatever accounts those checks were deposited into will likely be debited the amount of the check and funds should be restored to your account after sufficient evidence and adequate processing time.
