26 As requested by clumsyeloquence
This one is not funny at all. But it is the age I decided to let one of my clients "invest" in mine and a freinds joint business. Given the fact he had run one of the largest businesses in Australia in our industry we gave him the management position whilst we all grew the business to a multi million $ company in under 18 months.
Result: 2 years later I had lost everything I owned and worked for due to his syphoning funds out of our company to prop up his own personal business. (14 months since this event and the detectives finally have time to invesigate this properly. Submitting formal statements on Sunday)

Never have business partners. If you do.... REGULARLY AUDIT ACCOUNTS NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE!

EDIT: Also fucked the other business partners ex wife that year (5 years since divorce). We were all freinds and I used to attend many bbq's at her house with him and his kids. Admitedly, during my single phase he said "Why dont you give [insert x's name here] a go? She likes younger men" Also to my credit I never pursued it until one fateful night I ended up at her daughters place with her having to share a lounge for the night (Turns out she had this situation planned). Fucked her for weeks on end and had trouble looking my mate in the eye. Even tried telling him once but he would not believe me. It wasnt until a year or so later that his daughter told him that she heard us going for it that he knew for sure. Funnily enough we are still mates*
*well we still do alot of business together anyway.

Dont worry mate.
If my reply saves someone from getting ripped off it was well worth it.
You may have just saved people millions!
