this is what bill bennett e-mailed meNick,

"I haven't been completely up front with you about how
much of a financial failure GotTude was. Since I got
you into it, though, I will make good on your
investment. If you give me two weeks or so, I can have
half of it back to you. I'm borrowing from another
friend to do this, as I also lost my shirt in the
deal.

My apologies, just that EVERYTHING in my life has been
going like a train wreck since November. I will make
good on what you gave me, though, even if I hafta
drive to Florida myself to deliver it to you.

and this is what I wrote back to him

"Bill this very hurts what your saying to me, well I can't move to florida till I get the money and now I have to find another apartment since I told them I was moving in 2 months and the apartmnet was rented to someone else. I lost a deposit on house now since you don't have my money, since the company wants 30% down payment because of my mom's credit, this means I'll be here till I get most of my money from you, give me a list of what you spent the money on and how much on each item, I just don't see it going into GotTude and nothing came from it. I spoke with a lawyer today, from this day since you say will have 5,000 of it in two weeks. So this month on the 16th I want 5,000, I will wait two weeks for that if not I will go back to the lawyer so I'll call the lawyer tomorrow and let him know what's going on now. And how long will it take to get the other half?

And how could you look into my face say "nick you don't think I will screw you" and then I leave driving to florida looking at a houses thinking I will have my $10,000 when I get home.

Bill I can't believe this, I feel like killing myseft for being stupid and trusting you, as bad as my life is, that money was going to give me a chance to buy a house, I mean I don't have a education, my mother gets only 600 a month and I pay most of the bills here, it's hard and your making it harder and you had no right to spend my money.

also did you get tony's phone number?

Nick"

it's been 5 weeks and no check for $5000
