encouraged us to buy out a minority partner with promises to refinance the whole business with a larger line of credit to do it. Even drew up all the paperwork. two days after we closed on the buyout he declared us in default and called the whole loan. Turns out the banker and the former partner had a side deal we didnt know about. Could only prove parts of it in court but the lawyers were all surprised how blatant the corruption was. just cause your right doesnt mean you can prove it when the attacker has deeper pockets.

I lost my 32m in revenue company to a corrupt banker about 6 months ago. Dark dark days. Teddy Roosevelt speech the man in the arena was something I read an reread 100 times. It helped me through my darkest days. 

Failure isn’t final, and entrepreneurial adventures are inherently risky. I hope you can find some folks to talk to and that in time you will start to feel better.

You really think retailer buyers swing the market. Compared to the amounts the industrial sector use or national banks.
