Title: bounced money order, advice? Post by: saddambitcoin on February 15, 2013, 01:09:04 AM so, i bought a money order from a currency exchange with cash so i could pay rent with it. 1 month later...
landlord's bank sent back with NSF saying the currency exchange's account is frozen. i went back to the currency exchange to see what's up and it appears to be closed and out of business. i do have the receipt. is there any recourse i can take or am i just screwed?

I'm guessing this wasn't a major, well-known currency exchange so there's a very good chance that you're screwed unless they operated under some kind of licence which had an insurance requirement (you'd still be screwed in the short term but might eventually get your money back in that case).
