1) If you want to know what's your legal exposure, you need to ask a legal professional, namely a lawyer. We are all traders here. This is the elitetrader.com website NOT elitelawyer.com. 2) Even some of us are qualified lawyers, I don't know if you should read our advice since there is no written agreement between us and we didn't sign anywhere for us to give you the best advice to our knowledge. I feel so sorry for that boss. I hope he sues. Given that you think that even $300K is pocket change for him, most likely he will and will probably win since he would be able to afford to hire good lawyers. Good luck in court! And that is assuming that he will use legal venues and not some other "methods".
Let this Chinese dude contact me, i`ll quadruple his networth, and save your ash.I`ll take all the profit, of course.
You gotta give it to him it's the best troll story that I've ever read. Very entertaining although not so for the boss who lost $300K if this story is really true.
I am basing it on probabilities of this was a bad dream and you actually won and living on French Rivera instead figuring which nude on the beach you be having her as dinner. But you don't want any of us to drop by for a visit, but just in case...perfect song for you.
