The money was sent from my business account and I was told it would not be touched and I could get the money back whenever. Since it went into an escrow account, I trusted him. I did not hire him. He was an acquaintance, he said he wanted to "show" the money to encourage an investor to invest in a company he was trying to go public. Can't he lose his license for this? It is completely unethical. Is it fraud? I have proof of wire. I have check he wrote in an attempt to return some of the $ that I wasn't able to cash.
