What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? California

We need to charge a company (incorporated in Delaware). This company carried out business in california until recently without qualifying (i.e. no transfer agent in california either). The CEO of the company made certain false promises and lured us into spending for some of that company's expenses. Subsequently he ran out of the state; the company is still in good standing in Delaware state and has a transfer agent there.

Upon research we found that the CEO has 'changed' and a new CEO took over. Several email/fax/phone call exchanges with the new CEO and a mediator appointed by that company were made to settle the issue outside court. The new CEO conceded that they owed us money. But so far he hasn't paid up after several deadlines. He has been dillydallying the issue, even though the claim is only a small amount ($2,000). Once he claimed that the ex-CEO has already been paid for his california expenses. Thus, the ex-CEO took money for his expenses and also made us spend - this makes it a fraud case.

We wish to sue the company, CEO, ex-CEO and the entire board of directors of this company in a criminal fraud suit. Any suggestions on how to go about it? This case has drained our limited resources and time and has caused considerable anxiety and hardship. The directors of the board of the company were also informed about the situation several times and they have failed to take necessary action to settle the matter.

Small claims case isn't an option now since (1) a fraud is involved (2) cannot process serve outside california (3) entire set - current CEO, ex-CEO, board of directors appear to be frauds (4) owing to the extensive hardship we underwent because of the repeated promises made to pay the money, we intend to sue for punitive damages of over $20,000. Since litigations are something to new to us, we want to know the how to go about making a criminal fraud charge.

Thank you and you have a nice day.
