I hate this shit..... but I won't let it go either.
I don't blame you man.....
and neither have I......I dunno I ever told this story here....
I moved here in '97 from the Wash DC area....gave my house away for the climate change...arthritis, like so many other guys...:surrender::mobeer:
so down the street I ran into this outfit that built/fixed all sorts of hotrods....mainly American muscle and drag cars....
so I got talked into making a investment into that business and of course it was a fraud from word go....even as a ongoing business of some years previously, and run by ex Navy people....it was still a crooked operation....
so I got ripped for some 40 grand.....I couldn't get anywhere with the supposed 'legal' system or afford a lawyer, and so lawsuits were dismissed by slick maneuvers....so I went public....
passed out ALL the information I had on several cruise nights....about 3 pages of 8x11 print outs....they smoked out the operation but good, one of the wives tried to confront me, but I won that round easy....
so they sued me for libel/slander, I filed for discovery, being on the defense now.....that meant the court order was delivered to the bank involved and I got ALL the financial records of the time period in question.....which proved my case....
I then went public with THAT information.....another flyer/handout to everyone in town at cruise night......
I got support from other people, even CUSTOMERS of this joint.....
Steve Szala, USN Cheif....died of throat cancer for the lies he told....
his other crooked partner Kevin Hester hit the wall at good speed racing at Gainsville track....apparently busted him up pretty good....but not as bad as a 357 will.....
Tony Gonyon the 3rd partner never took any money, so he was innocent....but he sure covered pretty good, maybe out of total ignorance....I have heard he lost a whole bunch in some dealings there too....that's scuttlebutt though....
Then there is another disaster, for another time.....
