Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Fraud

I gave $20,000 to someone to invest in their

company two years ago. I have not seen a report

or up date on the status of the company in those

two years. I have constantly called that person

asking for updates, and I have always gotten the

response, ''I'm waiting for a phone call,'' ''In a

week.'' I'm so fed up, and I know that that person

has stolen my money. I finally just asked for my

money back, because I have not seen any signs

that the money has gone to what it was intended

for. Is their anything I can do to get my money back

and if so, what and how?

Re: Fraud

Hire an attorney to write and serve a "demand" letter stating that you want your money returned by a date certain. If that does not work, then you will have to decide if there assets available justifying a civil suit, or whether or not you go to the District Attorney's office and seek an Indictment for Grand Larceny and fraud.

Good Luck.
