Very sorry he soaked you in Sector 5.
The only thing I can say is, you are not alone.... SADLY.
and you are lucky he only got 10K out of you.
I know that you wouldn't agree with being "lucky" but so many have been screwed out of even bigger $$.
Hell, the Smokeless Select guys gave him something like $75K for a product they never got. They have a judgment, but they have to get in line behind everyone else.
Heck, he didn't pay child support. He owes $250K in child support arrears. So he doesn't even care about a child he brought into this world.
He even conned his first wife out of child support that was owed. Made her a promise, that he didn't keep. Go figure.
Michaels should've been put in PRISON YEARS AGO.
Hey if you are close to the court, you could be a "character" witness on April 4th. ;-)
