Will need more facts, but your friend can certainly sue if there is a legitimate cause of action.

Mr. Stewart is correct. Of course he can sue the "cheater" here in the US where the "cheater" is domiciled, but he should consult with a US attorney regarding the facts and what claims arise.

More facts will be helpful, as well as a comparison of venue requirements to determine the best forum for suit. Additionally, state laws and procedural rules may vary from federal rules, suggesting that preparatory work include a similar comparison to facilitate serving papers on the "cheater" to initiate the lawsuit.

Our firm operates in the US and in Europe, so we are accustomed to dealing with such issues.
