Q: In Missouri: We gave an investment company $30,000 to invest in real estate. We have no idea where our money went.
We were given no documentation, no updates. My spouse was told he was a "partner" but then fired. We requested the investment back and we have nothing. Is this lawful? Do we have a case?
A: You need to have a consultation witn an attorney. There is a lot to discuss. The specifics of the agreement. Whether the investment was an unregistered security. Whether there investment was wiht an individual or business. Whether a judgment would be collectible. Too much money is at issue simply to seek a free and random answer from someone who doesn't know all of the facts.
