FreshProduct needs advice (again)... Friend of 7 years!!!

[produccionfrescos]

To try to and shorten this up.. A while back, my friend and I did a little business thing I fronted 95% of the money & he had the clientele so we did whathe had to do. The other day, he calls me but I couldn't hear him so I hung up, dude calls me back like "Yo why you hung up on me?".. Thatquestion made me snap and I responded "I DIDN'T !*#*#!! HEAR YOU!" (my phone (BlackBerry) has been acting up lately and dude knows that) and Ihung up.. Later on, we met up, had a heated confrontation and dude goes "Find a way to get rid of the !!++ by yourself, I'm done with this".. soI'm like "

" and just start cursing him out. At the end ofthe day, that's my boy so I wasn't even gonna fight him, I walked away etc and kept it moving. Today I see dude again and I'm like "Sinceyou're not gonna do it anymore, give me the money and that's that" dude claims he doesn't have it on him (although he did a few moves 3 or 4days prior), so once again, argument, cursing etc etc and I left (I really wanted to put hands on someone).

Now, this has been my boy since 7th grade (I'm turning 20 in 2 weeks).. We did everything from going on vacations, attending business banquets, to spottingeach other on food when one of us didn't have any money, hell, dude even straightened up the crib for me before I got home with this broad one time

.. that's my right hand man and dude is like my brother. Myquestion is, is this quite possibly the end? !!++ just feels very awkward now, I was doing a lot of thinking and to be honest, I wanna get past the issue, butat the same time, I don't even wanna say anything to dude, just collect what's mine and keep it moving.. but, 7 years down the drain?

.. what would you guys do?

I don't even know what to say to reconcile things.

First mistake was doing business w. your friend....second mistake was fronting 95% of the cash...

you should cut your losses, and get into a different business venture either on your own, or w. people who are not so much in your inner circle.

but uhh, that's the problem with doing business with friends...money kills man.

i don't think there's much you can do at this point...i mean, you can't even finish without the money right?

Im going through the same thing, only we've known each other for 18 years. You seem like a real hot head you need to get that under control.

I wouldn't let seven years go that easily. He's probably thinking and feeling the same. Wait it out a few days, calm down and then handle it likeadults.

 

[andycrazn]

damn how the hell is dude gonna be carrying that much cash on him like that.

 

[shortydoowopp]

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]anyway, I have $$ on me, but still, any transactions he did, I want the money from that sincehe already made his portion.. at the end of the day though, I'm more about being cool with my boy again[/color]

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)].. We always said money would never be a reason to damage the friendship... Idkexactly what the issue is though.. [/color]

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Yes yes, I know. But he didn't have much on him, I did. I figuredwe'd both make our initial investments back, and split the profits. Big mistake on my part, but it was the only way to make something happen quickly.
