Welcome back to another Reddit AITA story!
Today’s story is about a cousin who only wanted to help — but ended up in the middle of a messy situation involving forged internship stamps, missing documents, deadlines, miscommunication, and a $100 penalty that someone now has to pay.

The OP agreed to help their cousin get a company stamp so he could graduate on time… but when mistakes happened and one student’s file was left incomplete, everything spiraled out of control.

Now the cousin is upset, the student wants compensation, and OP wonders:

Who is actually at fault here?
Is it the cousin for being a “yes man”?
The student for relying on others?
The careless adults?
Or OP for agreeing to help in the first place?
