Former Partner Theft of Company Funds

[kevinwan]

I am in the state of Calfornia. I was working with a partner who lives in Boston. I sent him Bitcoin (on record) to pay for a $15,000 company charge for KYC of which we didn't end up using. In the end, he chargedback the charge and did not return the funds. Is there anyway I can get my money back still?

He also swindled me by getting me to sign with a lawyer for a retainer, for $10,000, of which I received no services for either. I am really broke now, and have nothing. Is there anyway I can fight back and get these funds I really need?

Have you ever met this person? It sounds like a classic scam. I don't know of any legitimate business that uses bitcoin.

Try going to www.massbbo.org to see if the "lawyer" is really a lawyer in Massachusetts.

BTW, this wouldn't be a small claims case in Mass. Claims under $7000 can be heard in small claims. Under $25000 can be heard in District Court. Over $25000 goes to the Superior Court. I'm not sure, and don't feel like checking, to see if an amount of exactly $25000 goes to District or Superior.
