I agree. Factoring in profits from completed projects over the past year, that 6k actually puts me 14% ahead on my investment. It was a huge relief to get it. I'm still going to pursue the rest, though.

So I didn't invest in his business, I'd invest in individual Jeeps. I'd buy the Jeep and any parts and outside labor (seats re-covered, title services, etc). My partner would invest his labor. After the Jeep sold, I'd first recover my expenses, then he'd recover his labor and we'd split the...

OK, so it didn't go entirely smoothly, but I got the check cashed and safely deposited in my account. Now on to the 2 grand he still owes me. Thanks all for the help and advice.

Strange. I used to do the opposite, for the same reason. When I was running a business that took a lot of checks many years ago, a bank would stamp a bad check "Insufficient Funds" each time you presented it and it bounced. After two stampings, they wouldn't cash it, even if there were funds...

Oklahoma: I split apart from a guy I was investing with. I have just under $8,000 invested with him. Yesterday he gave me a personal check for $6,000 as a partial refund of my capital. I noticed he'd dated the check 05.19.23 (he gave me the check on 05.18.23). I didn't want to accept a...

Hi all, Newb here. I'm in a big mess, and trying to gather information. I apologize in advance if this is too much detail, but I have no way of knowing what is important, and what is not. I'm involved in a lawsuit over my mother's trust in Missouri. I live in another state. I've been...
