I had a business partner many years ago who was exactly like him, so I know the type. I had to cut that asshat outta my life too because I realized that he was basically stealing from me. I stashed away enough of our profits to get back what I paid to buy into the business, and took no interest or anything like that, just what I had given him, and walked away. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I lost a lot of stuff that I just couldn't take with me, but it was worth it. He would have bled me dry, and I recently found out that his best friend of 30+ years finally cut ties after Douchebag started stealing even from him. My buddy saved Douchebags life in the Camp fire, waking him up just in time to escape the house before it burned, but that apparently wasn't enough. My point here is that some people just won't change. Some people really suck that bad.
