law professor, thanks for your help. I'm new here and in need of legal help. An acquantance whos also an officer in his real estate corporation lent me $5000, personal loan a while back. I worked for his company at the time. Later I decided to leave his company. When the last transaction closed, it was for $7082 dollars. He kept the entire amount and said he could pay me because I still owed him money. He said he needed to make sure he got his money back and so didn't pay me a penny. He used his influence with his company to get back his money. He also didn't pay the agent who was due to get $4500 of that money. Recently, he sued me in court for the $5000, and won. Now he's making $12000 at my expense. What should I do?
