Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

I loaned money to a supposed friend under the guise of his LLC, which has turned out to be nothing more than his personal account. He signed a document but didn't honor it. It stated he would become personally liable for the money. He owns nothing but tools for the company. He went on to borrow more money. He wrote me a check to cover his debt, I had asked for cash. I no longer trust him. It was also written on a new account and address for him had to be filled in. In the morning, my banker called his bank, there were not enough funds to cover his check. I waited to deposit. When I finally deposited, the account was closed. He has failed to make good on the check. He is now on probation and just basically a con man. My goal is getting my money back. Help

I an sorry to hear that this happened to you. You can report the fraud, and the dishonored check to the prosecutor's office, to see if they will seek a bad check case. Or, you can sue him in civil Court. You may want to have an attorney draft your pleadings, if not represent you in Court.

Good luck
