Quick note..
Emailed Patrick outlining some of the steps I was planning on taking if I did not hear back from him. He did respond, and said he is working on it along with an explanation that he was avoiding here due to the negativity. I know proof is in results, so I asked him to provide me with a follow up this week on where things stood.
Again, this person has a very honorable profession, and also has served our country - This came from my own research, not from anything he stated. This does not excuse him from what occured, but for now, I am willing to allow time, given the fact that I have all the necessary information on him, and if things do not start to pan out by mid-April I'll start to be a thorn in all legal avenues for both he and Jessie (since she is the one according to him, that took the money).
