Hello, I currently live in Maryland, but the
states in which the incident took place was
California & Pennsylvania. I was involved
with someone for about 5 years when my
parents died within three months of each
other in the year 1981. My parents insurance
left me the amount of $60,000 most of which
then went to pay off my parents remaining debts
and funeral expenses. Having no experience in hand-
ling this large a sum, I turned to my 'boyfriend' of 5
years for help in trying to put the remainder of the
money in a safe account where it would gain interest
for the future. The boyfriend then offered to 'deposit'
$20,000 in an account in my name in his home state of
Pennsylvania. He instead turned around and used my
money to buy himself a business which he still owns.
Since that time I have been unable to get any kind of
answer from him and do not want to be sued for harass-
ment. I do not seek revenge; I just want the original sum
returned to me and as recompense, he should pay all court
costs and lawyer's fees. Is this now impossible? Is it now a
case of his word against mine? Can I cite this all happened
while I was under *extreme* duress, which is the truth. Thank You.
