If you try to sue then you'd be suing for half 27k. Lawyer is going to take 30-40 percent of that. That's if this scumbag still has the money to sue him for.
That sucks! Did you just not notice it was going on? How did he manage to get away with so much cash without you knowing? Even If I didn't know the financial side of the business, I would want to be in on everything done with the accounts; or **** I would just learn to. Don't trust anyone with the dough doe. Really sorry to hear it... that feeling of helplessness when in comes to money is just awful.
In the meantime, maybe you can post his full name, pics, and as much information as you can about him. Maybe his identity will go viral and he won't be able to do any business or get a job in the country after this.
Do this. Guaranteed someone will find him. Can even post this story + pic on Reddit, the way internet detectives work they'll find him within 72 hours.
Sounds like theft. Not sure if the you can call the cops for this, because he had access to the account. You live and you learn. In any partnership, always have the bank notify both parties whenever their are any withdrawals over $2,500 and require signature confirmation from both of you on any withdrawals over $5,0000. If he forges your signature then he is facing serious jail time.
If you guys shared a computer, search the history. Maybe you might find an account with a saved password. If you know his email, check if he saved his password on every browser. I would break most rules if someone screwed me out of 60 grand. Good luck.
What kind of business is it? Is it something that can be caried on by you or was he vital to the success? If it is a good business model, there might be a few that can help out in a silent partner way, just make sure you have proper documents and LLC, etc.
That's terrible news man. What a scumbag and a dumbass. You said your business had the potential to be really good. He just screwed himself from making more money down the line. I'd kill a mother****er for some **** like this.
This...and if all else fails...try the IRS... Sorry for ur troubles...but there are bad peeps in this world...
Agreed. This was my point. For a guy to do something like this over 27K owed to his partner, I doubt he's a high roller with a lot of assets to go after.
Depends on what the damage model is. These are breach of fiduciary duty cases that involve extensive discovery. I doubt any attorney is taking it for a 40% slice of a roughly $60K case....particularly if his business partner doesn't have real assets to chase in the event you win a judgment.
