Holy crap man, I don't even know where to begin. The offer for coffee still stands if you need to unload some more! I give you a ton of credit for getting it off your chest. In a way it's kind of like my debt posts, not something that I was proud of, but that's just who I am and you develop online friendships and get comfortable with the virtual "crowd".

You sound like a dream employee that went above and beyond any reasonable expectations and got screwed for it. Just damn. I can relate, well I guess not really to that extent, as I tend to be overly patient and trusting myself and it's bitten me in the past.

I sincerely hope you can recoup all of part of your losses. Risk is one thing, getting f**ked over is another thing entirely.

It's easy for me to say, but keep strong, keep fighting, rely on your female companion and vent whenever you need to.
