Brent, Sorry you have to deal with such a terrible situation. The level of dishonesty by this shady character is beyond belief. I'm sure this isn't the first time he's pulled a scam like this either. I'm not sure what the best course of action is here, maybe getting in contact with law enforcement? Reaching out to legal representation? I'm sure other board members here know better than I do and will offer suggestions.

I'm sure while your pissed about the money, the principle is even worse at this point.

EDIT: I do think both sides of the story are important, and I may have been too quick to judge. I wonder what the full story is. For sake of transparency I apologize if I jumped to conclusions.
