Learning a hard, expensive lesson today. It's bad enough to have money stolen from you, but there's nothing worse than doing something dumb (like not getting something in writing, or trusting the wrong person) and then losing money that could have easily been saved with the most basic precautions.
Any time money changes hands, have a contract. End of story. Now I have to decide whether to just eat the money or go to Small Claims and fight it out without having anything in writing besides a few emails. Essentially a "he said/she said." It's still small claims money, but it's a huge part of my startup capital. Just frustrating.
