I gave a friend of mine $300 to purchase something illegal for me. She never got it and now is refusing to pay me back. Is there anything I can do? The way I see it (and I'm no lawyer) all I did was give her $300, she was the one who then used that money to (maybe) make an illegal purchase. I don't know if she can prove that I gave her the money expecting something illegal in return. Should I take this to court, and if so should I play dumb, saying something like "it was just a loan, I didn't know she was going to buy something illegal"? Also, I know she is going out of town for a while and I thought it might be a good idea to schedule the court date while she is gone, what do you think?
