I was conned into funding something that turned out to be illegal. I was almost criminally charged, but they realized that I was nothing more than a pawn who knew nothing. Now two of the individuals involved are awaiting sentencing, both pled guilty. Needless to say I lost my investment and had to pay for lawyer fees. My question is am I entitled to get my money back? There was a verbal agreement based on a previous written agreement that all losses would be reimbursed. I heard in my state, California, that there is a restituition law for criminals to pay back their victims. Do I qualify as a victim? What do I need to do to get this enforced or is there another way for me to get my money back? Also, there are rumors going around that I wore a wire to help the FBI, this is not true, is it considered slander? Am I entitled damages? Thanks in advance.
