AITAH for publicly outing a rich dad who sold my teen brother’s $1200 gym gear?
I 26F help care for my brother “Leo” 16M. Over the summer, Leo and two friends pooled 1200$ of their earned money to buy commercial gym equipment for football training. They stored it in a friend’s barn with the parents’ permission.
Last week, the friend’s dad “Greg” decided he was tired of the teens coming over. Without warning, he sold all their equipment on Facebook marketplace for 800$ and kept the cash, calling it an “unpaid storage fee”
When we asked for the 800$ so the boys could replace their gear, Greg laughed in our faces and dared us to hire a lawyer over 800$.
Since legal action wasn’t realistic, Sam’s mom and i posted the purchase receipts and screenshots of his marketplace listing on local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. Because Greg owns a prominent local business, the post blew up, and neighbors are leaving terrible reviews for his business.
His wife is now screaming that I’m ruining their family’s livelihood over “cheap junk”
AITAH for exposing him publicly?
