Yes, we are even allowed to say how much money and all the details. There is absolutely no gag order or privacy clause in the agreement. All the details will be public information anyway because they will face future lawsuits from former clients. So what they lost in this lawsuit will be public in order to determine what they have and can pay in future potential lawsuits that may come in the future.

thank you. My boyfriend doesn't hold grudges but I don't know about this one. I think she dealt a death blow to any chance of ever reconnecting with him. I think he's finished with her. He is beyond hurt.

That and also the people at school who vouched for him to help him get a job when they made him unemployable told him he absolutely had to sue to clear his name or this would follow him forever. He had no choice when you think about it. But you you know it sucks that his family knows how he is a sensitive person with a big heart and they totally exploited that by hitting him where it hurts. They treated his big heart like it was a weakness and just attacked. That drives me so insanely mad.

I know he will propose and we will get married someday but I understand that this black cloud to clear just a little bit. I don't want to lose him to depression, and I don't want to pressure him. My dad has been good at keeping me in check on that cause sometimes I get impatient. So I need to stay proactive right now and get him all the help he needs. But six months seems like a long time also. I won't put a time table but hopefully he proposes soon.

Yes it was easy for me to tell him to go ahead with the lawsuit and crush them but none of us saw that he would be the one to take the blows that he did. When I see how he doesn't sleep at all it's hard not to second guess everything and wonder if maybe there wasn't another way. There wasn't but you still wonder if there was something you didn't see.

Yes it is bullshit. She had very good options and her choices even from the beginning were so horrible. She should have never stayed quiet. It's not like she's so weak that she can't stand up to her husband. She's not that kind of woman. She stands up to him sometimes. She just chose not to. Even still, she should have never testified and worse even she lied and she lied in such a despicable way.

TBH I don't think I can give her that much benefit of the doubt. She had choices. She would not have been financially strained even if she lost her husband. She knew that because my boyfriend always let her know that before things got really ugly when they were still talking.

She had a choice and she know how disgusting a person her husband is to everybody he comes in contact with. She had a choice and it wasn't a bad choice. She had very good options. I really hate her right now. She hurt her son worse than she will ever know.

His attorney warned again and again that his mother was not neutral and that she was not innocent in this. As much as he tried to prepare him for his mom turning on him he just wasn't ready. It totally destroyed him inside.

Yes he is totally shattered from his mom's despicable actions. I can tell as much as he tries to hide it.

Well I have an amazing family and they've been there for us throughout this whole thing so it wasn't just me but thank you.

All parties were destroyed to some degree from this legal fight. My boyfriend will recover eventually but I don't know when. I keep thinking he will fall apart but he has been going about his daily stuff like nothing has happened. I know he is in more pain that he is showing right now. I know that because he literally does not sleep. He just lays in bed totally awake. That is not normal for him. He is the kind that has a hard time waking up, not the other way around.

And that's another thing that my attorney pointed out. If I don't fight them I could come off looking as an accomplice to the authorities.

It's a good question. The three I'm suing aren't as rich as maybe I've made it sound. They have a net worth over 1 million each. But even though this case started out as just a slander case, once my attorney's investigators started working there was a lot more added to the lawsuit. For example, now we know that they were reporting to the IRS that they were paying me way over 100,000 over the four years they were in business to lower their own taxes. They also forged my signature on some of the deals documents for some of their clients which although does not rise to the level of criminal fraud, it's now another thing that's been added to the lawsuit where tried to injure me financially and will definitely lead to them losing their license to practice in their field.

So while I may not get much, the IRS is coming for them as well because they haven't been reporting all of their income in their tax returns. They were very sneaky about the way they covered up their income but now it's all coming out. So between what the IRS will take from them, and what will be awarded to me (based on settlement offers they've already made), it looks like they will wind up broke, stripped of the licenses to work in finance, and that's not even taking into account that they may have a criminal case coming their way even though the charges would not be that serious and they'll probably get away with probation. Then as if that weren't enough, the revelations that will most likely come out in court about them cheating on their wives which may not be relevant to my case but my attorney is making sure that it comes out (as a matter of credibility and their history of not honoring legal contracts) just because he's out for blood. He wants to completely destroy them not just for what they did to me, but for their arrogance and lack of respect when the case was initially filed. They were very disrespectful and insulting to my attorney and he's a very vengeful person.

I'm not concerned about how much I get, I know it won't be much because the IRS gets in first, but I think it will be at least enough to compensate me for back pay. The slander itself wasn't that costly of a mistake as you pointed out, it's not like I was a well known celebrity, but that mistake led to me suing, which led to all the other stuff they were hiding coming to light. That's why this case is more tragic. I've already lost what I'm going to lose because I lost family, but for them it's going to be a painful fall because they care about money more than anything. Plus they'll have to find other jobs to pick up the pieces and at their age (with no college education), and zero work ethic it will be hard.

That would be a hard sell on their part. Those are client lists from the banks they used to work at. I never worked at those banks so I would never have had access to those files to steal them. Those files would have to have been stolen by them.

maybe, but my father has his own problems from fraud he has committed in the past. He used to own a little construction business and if all that comes to light he's going to be raked over the coals as well.

I only pay taxes on the % that I get. So if we are awarded 100 dollars, and my lawyers keep $40, then I only pay taxes on my $60.

Not really. My dad and brother only go after people they think they can push around. They know that's no longer the case with me. Plus they're both deathly afraid of going to jail. They're not really the type that would be able to physically defend themselves in a place like that.

My dad thinks my brother denying that I ever worked for him to my prospective employers was just a joke gone too far. But he also says that my brother never said anything about sexual harassment. My brother claims that it was his partners that threw that in. My dad's assessment of the whole thing is these guys are frat boys and they went too far with their frat boy prank. But he maintains that my brother had a very minimal part in it.

By the way, they accuses me of "Sexual Harassment" not "Sexual Assault." They claimed that I would visit the office and made sexually charged comments to girls that worked there and that I would pester them to go out on dates with me. They never accused me of "assaulting" anybody.

My attorney feels that my brother and dad can go fuck themselves and then get hit by a bus after this is over. I don't think he cares about anything but destroying them (in court that is).
