This woman got back at a nasty old con man, who'd acquired his wealth through scamming others by outsmarting him. The nuclear revenge that ensues comes at quite the cost to the tricky bastard. To think that he was probably all kinds of jacked up, getting away with $25K when he ends up losing about half a million dollars.

    reddit - Text - The story is not about him, it's only a preamble So, I divorce him, not just for what's above mind you, I felt alone and unloved in this relationship. I just wrote about it to explain the state of mind I in when I met this other person that we'll call PS. PS was the total opposite, he was very in tunes with his emotions, he was very, very intense (this will be important later). He really expressed love like I*thought** I needed. On our first date, the waitress asked how long we h

    reddit - Text - Fast forward a bit, at this point we had been dating for about a year, and he had just asked (and my son) to move in with him. I wasn't 100% sure but he prepared the room for my son nonetheless. As I started spending more time in his house (still keeping mine) l also started to see strange behaviour. He'd be up all night, but sleep all day, I also overheard a few phone calls where I was telling people they owed money and needed to pay but the conversations didn't fit with a carwa

Someone I knew told me he was glad I left and proceeded to tell me about him, he said PS was a junky, hooked on GHB, hence why he was so intense and so into his emotions. That also explained the erratic sleep/night patterns but the final blow what when he told me PS was also a con man. A "Specialist" in defrauding older people by phone., his so-called "phone marketing com

    reddit - Text - In the beginning, I wasn't sure l believed it, but then bits of what I had overheard in the last year started to make sense, And I realized it was all true. Back to this later. I tried having my money back many different ways, none worked, I was at the end of my rope and since it was in my year post-divorce (and right after the 2008-2009 economic crash as well) was poor as hell. So this is what I did. 1st he had given me access to pay bills online (not to his bank accounts, but t

    reddit - Text - When the time came to do my taxes, I filed the 25K as an expense using this invoice. (I have many freelancers, I slid him as one of them) And it passed. Don't ask me how I got his Social Security Number, I can't remember, but I ended up having access to it so ratted him out to the IRS for hiding income. I found out later on through friends that the IRS started investigating him for unpaid taxed, I heard he had to pay 38% taxes that 25k pay a 20% fine for not declaring income. At

    reddit - Text - This story is not finished however, I just learned that he now has a job as a concierge in the apartment building of his parents, so I'll be contacting the court to have the money he owes me taken directly from his pay. The thing is, he has NO idea I'm the culprit of all his bad fortune and he recently sent me a message telling me he misses me, that I was an angel for him and that he regrets what he did... Well, not me loser, not me! TLDR: OP moves in with a wealthy man who con's
