Thought my friend might be hacking -- turned out to be right.

Hey, everyone.

As the title states, a few friends and I played competitive together. We played for a total of five games, but around the fourth or fifth game, one of my friends was making odd callouts; while planting, he told me the enemy Viper was in hookah while I was planting, and because I hadn't heard any footsteps or sound indicating it, I obviously just kept planting. Lo and behold, the Viper peeked from hookah and killed me. There were a few other callouts that were similarly suspicious. That's when I asked him if he was hacking, to which all my other friends replied that they heard Viper in hookah as well to mess with me and cover up for my friend, so I brushed it off as me not listening close enough. Even so, to be safe, I reported him mid - game, but nothing happened.

Only after the fifth game did my friend finally confess that he was using wallhacks/some sort of aimbot -- and that's when I left the party and stopped playing with him entirely. My question is: will my account receive any sort of penalty? I genuinely did not know that my friend was hacking, and immediately left the party once discovering he was. Thank you for any responses!
