Interior Designer Accused of Pocketing $100k Home Renovation Fee, Leaving Project in Limbo
- Interior designer accepted $100k for home renovations but used the money to pay personal debts instead
- Project now at standstill, left living in expensive rentals
- Could report designer to police for embezzlement or sue to get money back, but he likely can't repay
- Dilemma is whether to keep pressing him for repayment or report him and protect others
- Taking legal action would be expensive and prolonged; best bet may be threatening his reputation and ability to do business
