What a sad situation all the way around.

I have done a business deal through Barry - he facilitated the sale of an engine I had and through what I knew of him and his recommendation to his friend - we shipped an $11K engine to Australia on little more than an e-handshake. His ability to "know" me helped get this engine sold.

It's a cold world out there - and sometimes, I think the internet leads us to believe that we "know" folks a little better than we really do and it sure can lead to disappointment.

I hope that Barry and his family recover from this setback. it's easy to armchair quarterback and be critical for others' decisions - but in reality - no one is perfect - and we just learn from our mistakes and grow from him. He who has never made a mistake should cast the first stone.
