I feel for you Barry, I really do based on your story. However, while I understand the lack of due diligence on your part because you trusted Jason, what I cannot get over is how you came over to the U.S. and did not have the funds to sometimes eat. I am also a CPA and while I'm not a CFO, I would have still saved up enough money for a rainy day like the case here. The CFO's I deal with have so much money that it would not put a dent in their wallet if what happened to you happened to them. I guess I just don't understand how this experience hurt you so much financially. Emotionally yes, but financially? Like one of the posters said, if you are a CPA/CFO, you should have had your ducks in a row prior to starting this joint venture in case things fell through.

Anyway, sorry to sound so negative as I really do feel bad for what has happened and although I don't post much here, I have been a member since the beginning and have read many of your posts and based on your posts, you seem like a good person. Good luck in the future.
