    Business partner embezzled 250,000 and 30,000 IRS fraud … never have a partner (he is now broke, family disowned him, sick, living on welfare, unemployed) call it even

    In the 5th grade a kid stole my bag of marbles and my favorite shooter I knew it was him&#8230;.. in the 7th grade football practice I broke his leg. call it even
    Was the business set up as a partnership (IE: You were also liable for his frauds)?

    This is why I'm a fan of LLCs and the such. They aren't a magic liability eraser but it helps a lot in situations like that.

    LLC Lets say he took a deal to not to go the jail, he got the business that failed without me, paid me a sum of money over a peroid of time, and i was free from any IRS situation both personal and business...

    What was sad was it was growing business and the potential was so great to make both very profitable ..

    Good call on the LLC then. Never understood why someone would enter a normal partnership that isn't set up under an LLC. If the partner turns out to be a crook or douche bag or makes a mistake then you'd be on the hook. Don't see the benefit there.

    Shipped a bunch of stuff home in the mail when I was wrapping up my time in Iceland. When I got the boxes back home, about 10 CD's that were only available in Europe had been stolen by someone working for USPS.

    Same thing happened again when I left Okinawa. I had a kimono specially made for my wife while I was there. Cost me over $500. Mailed it to her with a few other items for our anniversary. The box arrived, the kimono wasn't in it. This time I had it insured.

    My first wedding ring was stolen out of my wallet at the batting cages. They left the wallet/credit cards/etc.
