Damn dude, sucks that he ended up scamming you in the end. I was around at the same time and was considering filling that loan.
Are you going to be seeking legal recourse?
I've considerind it yes.
I'm in the same country as him so it's a bit easier, although their first gazette got published and I think I got screwed by the contract but I might just completely throw it out and go at them with the fact that they owe me £10000+(1000*((8/365)*number of days since then))
For anyone who doesn't know what a first gazette is, it's something that the government publish under section 1000(3) of some legal article that means they will enact compulsary strikeoff on that company.
I've considered giving someone I really trust the private key also to that address so they can try to claim the money without any recourse (and so it's not publicised so much because someone the age I was earning £1000 in a year looks slightly suspicious).
