Here's my only question. You're were at one time a CFO. You have been heavily involved in business for many years - you dropped/sold everything you knew to fly to the US and become a (from your description) consultant with no stake/equity/share in the business? And without knowing the financial situation of the company before you did it? You didn't even sign a contract? This doesn't all add up.

I feel for your situation, but it certainly sounds like you failed to do your due diligence. For someone with your represented level of business experience, that is inexcusable.
