How much money do you think was in it? Are we talking hundreds, or thousands?

If it’s thousands, small claims court might be the way to go. It’s surprisingly effective, and also surprisingly painless.

For tens of thousands, hire a lawyer. I can help put you in touch with someone if you don’t know any.

If it’s hundreds, I’ll just Venmo it to you so you can mentally move on. Someone going to school and dealing with health issues shouldn’t have to also go through this.

It definitely wasn't sarcasm. Sillysaurus and I go back a long time and I think their generosity is a very nice thing to see.
