For a pair of lawyers, your attention to detail, analytical skills, and writing abilities leave something to be desired. It's actually quite apparent that you are NOT attorneys. Rather, you are either the reportee posing as an attorney under two separate names, or you are people close to him doing the same.
Heres the crux of the complaint, which was kind of lost in the details: the author is alleging that this man promised certain financial favors, most likely in the hopes of obtaining sexual favors in return. However, the reportee failed to follow through on the financial favors.
Now, while I am also questioning the legitimacy of the report, the first thing that pops into MY head is promissory estoppel. Assuming arguendo that the report is accurate, does the OP have a legal leg to stand on?
Now to some of the rebuttal comments. Pardon the font changes.
"it seems odd to post something that could or could not have happen 5 years later."
Not really. Re-read the opening sentence of the complaint. From this, it is apparent that the OP came across a complaint about a subject that she was familiar with, which prompted her to write her own complaint. So this is not an "out of the blue, five years later" report as you allege.
If someone did me very wrong five years ago, and today I came across a forum wherein someone had a similar encounter, I too may be prodded to draft a concurring statement and detail my own occurence. I find nothing odd about the timing of the report.
"How come the car company did not file fraud charges? No matter if the car was returned or not?"
Because it's a waste of time, or they just don't want to deal with the hassle, or they don't like cops, who knows. The car company, which I'm assuming is a low-end used car dealership, is primarily concerned with the financial aspect. The most likely scenario here is that they contacted the reportee and told him that he either needed to clear up the bad check or return the car, otherwise charges would be filed. When the car was returned, that was good enough for this outfit.
Beyond that, how do you even know whether or not they did ultimately pursue fraud charges? Do you have inside information?
"Bad check" cases can be awfully hard to prosecute. Some D.A.s won't even touch them except for under limited circumstances. And who knows, maybe this guy DID get prosecuted.
"The car dealer gets a check and does not go after the guy? A check would have all a person's information on it. NO ONE is goign to let a car leave a lot without alot of paper work either."
It sounds like they DID go after the guy: "the dealership was going to file fraud charges against him but didnt because he came with some hoodlum girls and got the car."
Again, it sounds like the dealership DID go after the guy. They gave him an ultimatum: get us the car or the money, or we're pressing charges.
On to the next rebuttalist:
"The name the person use, seems odd. Since this is posted in the religious category, why would anyone pray to GOD for harm to be to a person, as to just let GOD deal with it."
Wow. You mean to tell me that you actually passed a 1L legal writing course? I can barely understand what you are saying here. You seem to be implying that, if a report is placed in the religious category, the OP is looking for people to pray for harm to come to a person? What kind of messed up logic is that?
"The person calls him by what looks like a "nickname", leads me to believe they know him. They call him Al many times within this comment."
Holy sh*t. Are you serious? OF COURSE SHE KNOWS HIM! READ THE REPORT!
"Maybe he only was going to recommend a attorney and that’s it. Is it possible that she was thinking he was also going to pay the fees?"
Again, read the report: "The payment mysteriously got lost on the mail, or something always happened. He said he wired the money to me but it never arrived."
Why would someone who didn't make a promise to pay something state that they had wired the money?
"I did some research on Dr. Adams, seems he just released a DVD in September. With the facts of this person calling him by a “nickname” and posting not to long after the release of a DVD it seems more like a jealous person."
NOW you're thinking like a lawyer!
"No dealership would take a personal check without calling the bank to make sure funds are there. I know of no dealership that would not file charges against someone for just bring a car back to their lot."
Really. And how many car dealerships have opened up the inner-workings of their operations to you?
You CAN'T call the bank to see how much money someone else has in their account. The bank will not give you that information. The only way to ensure that funds are available for a check is to walk down to the bank and convert it into some other form of currency/paper. Aside from that, you have to rely on a check processing system which, like you, does not have access to account balances. These systems can only tell you whether accepting the check is an acceptable risk, based on the history of the writer.
"Making false statements even the bi-sexual (to try to defame a person) comment has open this person up for a [defamation lawsuit] . . . which is more then warranted under the facts and controlling law of this matter."
"More than warranted?" Unless you are, or are very closely associated with the subject of this report, then how do you even know whether the statements are false? Can you even tell me what state's law would be the "controlling law of this matter?"
What you are speaking of, in more general terms, is a defamation suit alleging tortious interference with an economic expectancy. These suits are VERY complicated, and the law regarding them varies quite a bit from state to state. So, unless you've spent some considerable time researching the relevant state laws, it seems a bit "unlawyerly" to make such a bold statement.
Not to mention the fact that your whole assertion is premised in a theory that you devised yourself.
"Last but not lease."
It's "least." And you're a pretend lawyer. I suspect that you are the subject of this report, or someone close to him. Your little unwarranted lawsuit threat at the end gives you away. And by the way . . . let me know how that suit turns out!
Back to law school, boys!
