Victim of felony fraud and theft
I was recently conned into investing in a fake business by some jerk that comes to my work 3-5 times a week. I have consulted a friend of mine on the police force and he contacted the crook and offered to mediate before pursuing criminal filing. Basically, my friend gave the guy till this Saturday to give my money back or we will go forward with felony fraud/theft charges against him.
Over the last few weeks I have witnessed him trying to talk some of my co-workers into investing with him, and have done my best to inform them all. Unfortunately my manager won't kick the guy out of our nightclub, so he's already swindled a few people there. Finally, tonight I got a call from another girl who lost her tuition money to his scam. She lost over $3,000 to the JERK.
I'm trying to figure out what I can do to ensure that he will at least get busted for this, if not get my money back & the money of any other people he's swindled. I'm afraid that if we pressure him too much he may flee the state as I've heard that he has already been run out of 2 different states. I attempted to search the statutes for my state, but that's like reading mumbo jumbo.
If anyone has any ideas or insight PLEASE let me know. Thanks
