A friend in need calls on a friend for assistance. The friend in NEED asks his friend to buy his XYZ equipment for XYZ $$$. The friend state?

It's confusing the way you laid it out. I don't think it's theft. Technically More like fraud.It looks like Basically A needs money and sells equipment to B in exchange for for post-dated checks.

The funding of those checks is not guaranteed. B may have, intentionally or unintentionally passed a bad check. B actually wrote the checks, it's technically Wire fraud, investigated by the US Secret Service If the checks were mailed, it's mail fraud, too.

The problem is that the checks are almost useless. B boght the equipment with useless paper. Does B even need the equipment or is B holding it as collateral?

Sounds like A is trying to hustle B. It's almost as if A has been given an open checkbook, except there are a limited number of checks with a set amount on them. Other than that, though, the money, if available, is authorized to be released if A presents a signed instrument to the bank.

A is calling B a thief and a fraud. Simple solution: if B was smart B would counter-sue for the amount of the loans, the bounced-check fees and the stop-check charges. If I were ruling in the case (it would wind up in Small Claims, I'd order the equipment returned within five days, the rest of the plaintiff's case dismissed, and Judgment for the defendant on the counter-claim, plus court costs (standard) All rise!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
