As a naive entrepreneur I allowed someone to become involved with my business and quickly discovered they were not the right person to work with. Their behaviour became a concern and I had to sacrifice millions of dollars to prevent the destruction of what I have worked for. By taking an acquisition offer in an effort to remove them from a position of control I lost a lot and they made a lot. I deeply sympathise with the decision Kyle made to offer Jeremy his own money to end this. I have many regrets about involving that person in my business but to this day I do believe that the decision to allow them to walk away with a lot (of undeserved money) was the right one. The business lives on.

The person on the wrong side of my experience went on to deceive many other people and has left a trail of negative experience behind them, even using their involvement in my business to help deceive. I take comfort in knowing that my business survived their involvement and regardless of how they profited from my work they will likely never find honest success.
