Gee... I wonder why it wasn't coach? :lol:

Well then they switched him out and he's a completely different person.

Again. It's not my house.

He wasn't able to finish the job. You have no idea whether or not the money you paid was not being spent on your house.

Well it's apparently not available to be refunded. And they are scrambling to transfer assets. So I'm guessing it's not a simple clerical problem.

If your friend (you) was dumb enough to give $15,000 upfront, then he (you) need to learn a good lesson by losing this money and he (you) will never make this mistake again.

Oh it's not me. I bought my house in 09 from a builder wanting out from under it. My new home experience is going to closing and leaving with keys.

However, he is building because of where he wants to live. On their own family land.

If someone stole 15k from me I'd burn their house down.

That's the guys mother right now. I think she would if her son asked her to. Reason being they are building the house back on their property back near his mother. Because she is going to need some help doing basic things before long and they now live several miles away. And my friend is wanting to get back there to start cleaning up and fixing up their acreage.

No law firm is going to take a case over $15K where the potential is just a judgment with no promise of getting it paid. If they do, they are going to charge $5K just to go through the motions

At this point I believe they just at least want to get a claim in. Even to not pursue. Basically gambling the cost of a couple thousand to just get a valid, legal, claim on the books. I figured a paralegal could do most of the work to make that happen.

And no it's not a bitcoin scam.

They are building a house and paid this subcontractor about 15,000 up front for work. He was supposedly reputable and did good work.

Well about a week after he cut the guy a check, the subcontractor fell over with acute heart explosion. He's gone.

After this happened, it was found out that other people had given some upfront money and was getting baby steps on work being done. Turns out the business was in a bind because the subcontractor and his wife liked looking like millionaires on the weekend but was in debt up to their eyeballs. They were living out of the business. And people's new deposits was funding work for people that paid months ago.

Now the spouse, instead of making things right, is hurriedly putting assets, including the business, in their kids name.

My immediate advice was to run to an attorney, any attorney with a pulse, and get a judgement ahead of anyone else and suppliers. They took the advice, but no attorneys want to bother with it no matter how small the office.

I told them it's probably a not so bad thing that they have placed the assets in another name because they are still alive and therefore would not be included in an estate closing or a bankruptcy by the spouse.

So what does he need to do since no attorney will take it? They obviously need to get a lien on the books and then possibly go after a fraudulent conveyance. Is this something they can take care of on their own with a friend (me) that could help them with a layman's knowledge of the law? The 15k isn't going to break them, they have a pretty good job and their mother, who may wind up funding the whole thing since she is pissed.

What say ye board law firm partners?

I imagine they are waiting on The Atlantic, NPR, MSNBC, Buzzfeed, etc to print out the thousandth Epstien file "we got heem now!!" hope article and come here and share. :lol:

Number of responses by you to my post obliterating your rant? Also zero.

It's not some rando on X posting QAnon nonsense, if that's what you're referencing.

From NPR? It's about the same. At least the track record is.

And the thing I STILL am waiting for an explanation for... glossed over again.

Ok now we are running in circles. The former president of the United States AND the former democratic nominee for president is about to testify in congress.. due to subpoena... and Nancy Guthrie is still a bigger story.

But to my point.... here you are arguing the schematics of a bigger story... not outraged at the Clinton-Epstein involvement where the Clintons were absolutely closer to Epstein than Trump ever was.
