When to sue a close friend and ruin his or her life?
This is not meant to be funny so no jokes. I have a huge problem that I need advice on. A friend of nearly 15 years has completely screwed my life over. This friend is at least a decamillionaire and I *THINK* this person has done some illegal things to me to cheat me in a very major way. My life is ruined because of this person, and it appears I have a case against them (meeting the attorney next week) but I still have a soft spot for this person. I'm now broke because of them, but I'm not 100% sure they did it deliberately or just out of ignorance.
If I can sue and take a few million from them as a settlement (which I deserve and they can afford), should I do it even if my relationship will be completely ruined? Or should I try to work things out with them before this?
I guess I'm afraid to find out that during these years I trusted the wrong person and what I thought was my closest confidant is actually my worst enemy.
Have you seen gone girl
Went right over your head.
If you're right then there's no point in keeping the relation. Suing him is in your hands.
Could be a female.
Women, ah of course. Anyway the point here isn't to ruin her life, but to get yours back on track. Sue them for what you rightfully deserve, rebuild your life and stay the hell away from them. Vengeance only sucks you into a black hole, an emotional vacuum that makes you miserable.
Disagree, vengeance is as good a motivator as any.
You don't deserve shit, Just because she's a "decamillionaire" you feel as if you're entitled to a piece of her pie.
She became a millionaire by cheating me.
this is not helpful
In that case, I say bleed her dry, lex talionis brah
but as others have mentioned, if you gon do this, gotta put research into make sure you have a good chance of winning
What exactly did she do to you? I mean if she's a millionaire why would she want to destroy your life and not help you? Why not even ask her to help you and get you back on track.
I asked her to make things right and she's pissed because I wouldn't do something unethical for her. She's a criminal.
Don't have any advice, but if you could tell us step by step how she made her millions, that'd be great. Thanks in advance.
No woman is worth ruining your life over.
With that being said you want to know her to know you have a proverbial knife to her throat if your case is that strong and you aren't afraid to pull the trigger. You just can't be antagonistic when you negotiate once people get their feelings hurt they will just lash out.
Even if your case isn't strong if it is strong enough to elicit doubt in her clients or employer it could still possibly be strong enough to strong arm her into settling out of court.
You just want her to know how this is going to play out.
This is all assuming you have a bulletproof case.
Pure speculation on my part: - This case involves insider trading - OP provided inside information to a girl because he thought it would get him some action - Girl made money from his tips - OP got no action - OP got found out and fired - OP was from a non-mainstream background and his actions were motivated, in part, by desire he's had since puberty (if not before) for that which is forever dangled in front of him, yet he can rarely touch
I wondered that as well. Seems like the only easy way to make money of someone who doesn't have that type of money.
But how would he have legal recourse for that.
So much missing context.
Edit - misread he hasn't spoken to a lawyer yet.
Technically, he wouldn't have legal recourse. However, if he filed a suit, he would make the matter public record. Further, with artful pleading you can avoid dying on a 12(b)(6) motion, motion to dismiss which if granted allows the moving party to not admit or deny anything. After that, you have to admit or deny allegations, under penalty of perjury, before the case could eventually get dismissed. Which she would be very interested in preventing. Assuming yall's fact scenario of insider trading.
No reply since this comment, I believe we now know what happened. @SSits you should moonlight as a spy.
She's basically an honorary man though...she has a penor made of money
OP, is your wife the middle eastern flight attendant that banged 1,000 dudes mid-flight?
Emirates first class
Consult with JDoasis lol
lol
........friend zoned
If she wronged you and you have a solid case, sue her.
Her move caused it. Don't have a soft spot for people who walk on you.
Did she brain rape you for your startup idea?
Just because you "THINK" you got screwed over by this friend will not be sufficient ground to stand on to win this case. Where is the hard evidence? Once you go down this path there is no turning back and if you are broke you will be even more in the hole than before.
Dude - deal with this with your attorney. You're not going to get any good advice here with limited facts. Morally, that's up to you. Legally, it obviously depends on what sort of agreements you had, the state of those agreements (written, verbal), etc. Don't air out your dirty laundry and potential lawsuit on the web...probably how you got screwed in the first place (no offense meant, just why here? If it's really serious, take it offline immediately).
If you need money then do it. Otherwise I would not

Edit: the link is scary with the word manboob, but follow it it's SFO. Just a picture of a troll...
Good job contacting an attorney, that was the right call. You should speak only to your attorney about this from now on and follow that person's counsel. If you don't feel comfortable doing exactly as your attorney advises, get a different attorney.
I wonder what DickFuld would do.. or Braverman
If the only information I could get my hands on is what you wrote, then yes.
Just change that THINK to AM SURE first.
f*ckyah, go for it. Ben Franklin is the only friend you need
REMEMBER: Think with your brain and not your heart. Your brain says sue them and get money. you worked hard and are broke. Your heart says don't lose someone.
