Q: I would like to whistleblower or sue a national investment firm that: 1) Lost $78,000.00 for 228 days
2) When they were informed the money had disappeared, it took them 17 days to find it
3) They had the money since before 2008
4) I believe they should have used a slush fund to release the funds until they "found the folder." No apology; no other excuse for the loss.
The person to whom the money was owed refused to provide information necessary for the completion of a real estate contract.
Result: the real estate contract was permanently canceled and the buyer sued me personally for $2,000,000.00 and the estate for whom I was the personal representative for $500,000.00,.
My cost was $34,206.00 and 524 days of terror.
The problem is that this happened in 2014. I am wondering if the extension of SEC statute of limitations to ten years would apply here. Thank you.
