Now if you read my previous posting on the outrageous lawyer fees, you must think I'm crazy and contradicting. hehehe...
Why am I laughing? Because when i gave that money away, it was money I was prepared to lose (plus it wasn't that much). I remember writing it off in my books that day. Still, it doesn't stop me from wishing that the crook would get caught, rot in jail and in hell. The crook is probably vacationing in the Carribeans now, having a party. Lucky bastard.
all I can say is, it was a lesson learned for me.
