Auctioneers raided by the FBI has some of my money hanging in thebalance
 
http://www.kmov.com/story/29910685/f...eting-millions

I just sent him $3k for some recent auction purchase. Now I am
wondering what will happen to my money. He was, apparently, pocketing
some of his clients' money that was proceeds of auction sales.

``The FBI raided Stuart, Millner, and Associates after a source close
to the investigation claims the owner allegedly pocketed money to live
a lavish lifestyle.

The investigation is focusing on the owner, Stuart Millner, whose
company has held auctions for major corporations across the
country. The companys success has allowed Millner to afford a
six-bedroom home in Union. Its now on the market with an asking
price of $1.6 million.

Sources close to investigation say Millners wealth came in part
from him allegedly keeping more of the proceeds of auctions than he
was supposed to. The money was supposed to go to clients. FBI
officials wouldnt comment on the accusations.

News 4 reached out to speak to a man who matched the owners
description to get a comment and asked if he was Stuart Millner. The
man walked away when the name was mentioned.''

You're probably screwed, at least in the short term. Like Jim suggests
you can call the local FBI -- you probably won't be the only one in that
situation. Just speak clearly and tell the whole truth.

And you haven't picked up the stuff yet, right? Has it been recent
enough that you can stop payment on the check?

A lot of variables in play, the article says an arrest was made. No mention
of any asset seizures. You may end up getting your purchase if the business
is not encumbered by the arrest. There really isn't enough information to
determine whets going on. You can try to pick up purchase or have it
shipped to you and see what happens.

Best Regards
Tom.

Your in for the long haul. Could take years for the feds to release
your purchase/money. Considering the small ammount of money
involved it may not be worth pursuing.

I would try to pursue picking up the merchandise. Find out where the merchandise is being held and who is paying for the storage charges. Who ever is paying for storage ought to be on your side.

I understand it's your money and you want your merchandise or your money.
I am just saying that the cost to recover your money could easily exceed 3K.
