Sorry if I am the Negative Nellie, but what did you do with this mans money Jason?
It was not your money to spend in the 1st place Jason.
I have had people do this with me in the past and it burns my butt.
If you had items to sell him where did they go if not to him?
To me this is a ripp off and you stole his money, now you are caught and spent HIS money and want sympathy. Not from me.
Get the man his money back one way or another and do it quickly, go to your bank and take out a loan, quit stringing him along.
