Thank you for reading it. It was very cathartic writing it, I'm just as confused as I was then but at least I can take lessons from it and share with others.

Hi Dartanion7, I wrote the post - the only reason I haven't outed him is not to protect him but he scammed a couple of other people I know too. They have developed serious anxiety and trust issues due to him - I want to protect them form being outed as a 'victim'. I don't feel it is my call to do that. However saying that, I have left enough evidence in the post for readers to put the pieces together themselves.

I'm the author of the blog, I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds an order of magnitude worse than my story. Luckily I didn't outlay any money or hand over any important documents. It sounds like you should share your story too - I wonder if there's a place somewhere people can share startup horror stories?
