Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

I met a GUY that puts on concerts under an LLC name using big name artist and small artist all over the USA. Me and my partner invested in a concert with him putting up 20k (cover advertising, hotel, car service) with agreed ROI of 30% to be paid after the concert. The concert was 1/25/14. After the concert i was expecting to get cash from the box office closing that night but we met the next day at the hotel he was staying in and he presented me and my partner two checks for $13k each but the checks were written off another business an INC. that he owns he also post-dated the checks for 2/5/14. I tried to cash my check on said date and quite a few times after the bank said they couldn�t honor the check at that time. I contacted the GUY he said the Arena wrote him a bad check and was now waiting on a second check to be clear from the Arena which the concert was held at which I found very hard to believe that. 1) A major Arena where several ppl have events (sporting and concert�s) would write a bad check and 2) no check takes a month to clear. This went on back and forth for a month and half. Then he finally says he put funds in the acct it is good now and to go ahead deposit the check and when I do because of my great past history with my bank they credit me the total amount, two days later it was taken back and sent my account over drawn 6K. my partners account was closed out by his bank by the way, do to a high dollar acct being returned as NSF. I have called and texted sent certified letters to the GUY asking for payment he sent 3K to my acct my partner has nothing my acct is still negative. He said he is going to pay and make right but has done nothing. Now our business is at a standstill. I believe he uses this INC business acct as a dummy acct knowingly never funding it and giving people the run around with worthless checks. I had contract�s to invest in two other concerts and comedy shows over the next three months but can�t because this GUY has stolen all our funds.

My partner did some research and saw that he has been sued before just last year for breach of contract. My partner met his sister through a mutual friend and she explained that her ex-boyfriend did business with him in the same manner and he was never paid and for the longest she didn�t know why they broke up she also stated he burned their Aunts boyfriend when he invested in a concert with him also. They now know each other�s story and they dis own him and tell us to sue him and get all you can.

.QESTIONS (1)How can we get our money back. He lives in a different state. But all transaction and concert were done here in my town? (2)Can I sue for lost wages and how, since we had contracts on the other concerts and comedy show but were not able to invest in due to him? (3)How can we get him locked away because it seems to be his motive/ pattern I�m sure there are others out there he has duped and burned? (4) Is it illegal to enter in to a contract with us under one business his ent biz LLC and then write checks off another biz INC. PLEASE HELP
