Own a bakery with 4 partners and one of the partners was gonna operate business. Well he stole from us and made alot of withdrawls to himself while no one else got paid. Well since then he walked out of the business and not heard from since. So we have been paying thousands out of our pockets and now are broke and business is faling and we need to close. What are we liable for ? Does the partner who stole and walked away suffer too? He is 50 percent owner and we are the other 50 percent. We put up our houses to get aprroved for loans. Where do we stand?
