Got scammed on my exit, struggling to enjoy my fatfire
I sold my company to crooks. I had a big earn out that depended on the profits, the company was really nasty and put a lot of expenses in to kill the profit.
I tried to sue them but lost, the contract was badly written and they could basically do what they wanted. I've spent 3 years and a lot of money on lawyer fees for nothing. I cried when I got the final decision, so much stress inside me.
I made about 8M. The earn out was supposed to be around 60M if they had played fair.
I put all my efforts into this company for 10 years and got scammed. I feel so exhausted and disgusted that I think it's time for me to retire and forget the business world. I'm also ashamed.
I'm fatfire but I'm having difficulties enjoying it after this scam. Am I the only one who got rich and retired by getting scammed?
