Dear followers..
Gramps is in a conundrum which is a two-fold issue, one is a business issue the other is a personal friendship issue & yes of course the 2 are mixed like water & cement in this case.. In 2005, I was very ill, I was awaiting a liquor license that is like the Holy Grail in NYC..

I felt I had no choice, given my health scenario, but to sell the business itself, & after much nagging from a neighbor who wanted to buy it I agreed for him & his friend, a person I didn't know at the time, to purchase the LLC, bc you can't "sell" a liquor license just the corp shares & transfer it

Now mind you the 2 had full run of the bar for over 3 yrs w/o paying more the a few thousand bucks to run it & turn a profit off of my patience, then I had to hire a lawyer bc again I'm not confrontational by nature & this was a neighbor in my residence so that added to it, he'd flee to Florida..

Leaving the guy I wasn't friends w/holding the bag but this guy was a sweet talker, & of course his handsome looks helped a lot, & he paid eventually over 2 or so years BUT I'd be strung along for 12 or more years w/my name as the holder of the license, a violation of the sale.. He paid me more..

And of course several years after this I now find myself receiving a certified letter, waiting at the post office, from you guessed the state comptroller about what ? Not sure.. But it is clearly addressed c/o my name for the corporation I sold to.. drum roll.. the handsome bad boy, STILL IN MY NAME

This leads to the other issue which is now my friend, good at heart, sloppy about details tho at age about 50, he's reignited a very bad relationship w/an extremely controlling former GF, about 25 yrs younger & each time I see them like just now on the street we live on he's so drunk & not her tho..

Each time she quickly rushes him away from me before I can even broach the subject of the bar, but really that's less important to me then seeing him deteriorate, he's smoking after years quitting, drunk every time I see him & prior to her return I NEVER once saw him drunk EVER in close to 20 years.

My quandary is this I am afraid to text him bc I feel certain she's controlling him for personal gain, he owns the bar & is an in house creative for Bank of America, that alone is a high paying gig & then the mostly cash bar a top of it is a former stripper's dream sugar daddy so long as she runs it

I feel he deep down knows she's controlling him bc prior to this "reunion" out of nowhere she simply moved away from his place, blocked his calls, abilities to con tact her on all SM etc. then just like that after 2 years of pining when he gave up on her she then suddenly was back in love & in his $

The bar license is a serious breach of my trust with him & literally makes me responsible as the "owner" of the LLC BUT my concern for my friend outweighs this but how to approach him is where I am now stuck.. He's a sweet guy & she is so deliberately manipulating his desire to finally settle down..

It's very difficult for me to separate my friend from my business, he's in manner the guy who'd intentionally cause me troubles & he paid $20K the first time I caught on to my name still being on the corp, so it's not that it's the terrible debilitating influence this person is having on him now..

You can say "t's really not your business.." but ironically it is my business as my name linked to it some 2 decades later & a friend in trouble of some sort who I desperately want to help.. She made him like this the first go around bc she was so bipolar acting that is, I don't buy her act at all..

She used her
"bipolar" self diagnosis I might add to push & pull & tear at my friend who loves her for whatever reason, likely the middle aged crisis I got myself a former stripper thing but as I am super gay I'm no authority, well yes I am who am I kidding, of course it's that reason..Need advice!

1. This sucks - I'm sorry
2. IMO it's important you protect yourself legally/financially from damage by an individual you deem dishonest and predatory
3. There may be a path from that to engaging your friend with an 'invitation' to join you in severing contact with this individual
Again - so sorry

I'm sorry I didn't offer my thanks for your kind words.. It really does help as I am all alone no family, not anyone to discuss this with but my therapist who'd lay into my passive nature etc. Also, I've found most often folks do not care to respond to personal posts like they do my political posts.

To be clear, I NEVER even thought to cash the check, I actually set it aside waiting for the moment to confront my friend & ask why this check was coming to me but then I had 3 separate hospitals stays for anemia, colitis & a small intestinal malady & literally forgot about it all until this letter

Oof ... yes - so much about health issues can prevent focus on all but the most essential things. Hoping you find some answers and equilibrium. It sounds like you are trying to be a good friend and sometimes that's really difficult. 🫂

Well, you're likely correct & I'll know more once I go to retrieve the certified letter from the State Comptroller's office at the post office.. They had previously sent me a nearly $3K rebate check (I'm guessing) made out to the LLC in C/O my name which is how I recently understood my name remains.
