So how to make a long story very short. Had a client threaten to sue me over a terminated contract in which I retained funds legitimately. Hostile. Had been hostile previously, thus terminated contract. Lots of threats. We elect to ignore ignore ignore. If the ass wants to pay a lawyer to find out I was right, fine by me. But it pisses me off. Back burner furious, other things more important.
Business partner sends me an email today, out of the blue, personal account just titled “Interesting.”
This email has just one thing in it. A link to a very specific kind of report. At the top of the report is that dude’s name.
Turns out, guy is a scamming con artist that’s been barred from financial advising for some of the most shady things imaginable involving seniors life savings, foreign accounts, and some serious serious cons. Like the stuff you can’t avoid criminal charges over.
It’s crazy likely he had intended to try to pull this con at the close of contract the entire time. To try to intimidate us into cutting him a much much larger check than he ever should have received.
He threatened legal action. He set deadlines. He dropped names. He threatened to “report” us. To whom I am still kind of unsure about. And it pissed me off. We didn’t react to it, but oh I was mad.
And I get to laugh my ass off at that bastard who tried to scam two old ladies who busted him.
TLDR: dude tried to hassle me and we ignored him but I stayed mad, business partner looks him up and learns he’s a con artist who got busted by two elder ladies, sends me an email with the deets. Schadenfreude ensues, continues.
My goodness what a day! 😧
@see_the_sus totally!!
If I was queen I'd give you the rest of the week off!
