r/ProRevenge - Cheating Ex Steals My Life Savings and Disappears! I Destroy Him.

[@nejiskafir8198]

My ex drained me of nearly all I had and then divorced me when I lost my job during the 08 crash. She remarried 3 months later, but her new husband lost his job 3 days later. Here is the good part. While she was visiting her parents, he took her prized antiques and sold them for living money. It was sweet justice.

[@robingronovius2951]

My stepdaughter left her abusive husband and came back home, got a job, and reactivated her childhood savings account in the local credit union. But, its online banking was not as "user friendly" (her words) as her big name bank's. So, she started having her pay direct deposited to her old account, and her husband promptly wiped out all her money. That's when I had asked her why she started using her old account and got the user friendly response. Better off a little more difficult than gone.

First story lessons: 1. NEVER open joint accounts with ANYONE. Keep finances separate, ALWAYS; 2. If you're a cheating and stealing piece of garbage, never let your dates find out about your dirtiness. They WILL use it against you if you anger them enough.

[@davidharshman7645]

I used to work for a bank, and I have to say that Joint Accounts are such a HUGE hassle, even if the couple never have a disagreement that affects that money. Both parties have to agree to make any changes to the account (except for closing it)...if one person passes away, the account has to be closed completely...and, any court-ordered payments for either person can target the account. There is just no benefit to a joint account that is worth the troubles they cause. Especially when it is always an option for the couple to each have their own account that they each make the other person an authorized card carrier for.

In the last story, it was absolutely NOT overkill, and 100% justified. Had OP not had security cam footage, he would have been arrested, and very possibly convicted. Hell, he could have even been shot by the police had he misunderstood any commands. He definitely would have had all his guns confiscated, and possibly become a convicted felon with a hefty prison sentence to serve. Gun related crimes get hefty penalties. The asshole deserved every bit of what he got, since he actually was in fact breaking firearm offenses. I hope he got at least a decade in prison if not more with huge fines for killing the endangered species.

MACHO COPS!! He didn't have any weapon on him at the time! I'd sue the police!!

not only that, he was shooting and killing any animals around his property, in the city where doing that is illegal even if it wasn't practically sk behavior, INCLUDING endangered species (which is part of the reason it's illegal). He deserved what he got, especially considering that temper of his.

[@jagirl966]

Some coworkers make fun of me because I'm Autistic, but then I remind them where we work and and that there is a chance of one of our residents or their family members maybe Autistic and you could get into a lot of trouble for bullying me. Sure enough, a family came to visit and one of the kids was on the spectrum and came running to ask us something when they heard me being bullied again. He ran back to his mom crying because he thought they were talking about him. (I have a unisex name and apparently it was the kid's name, too.) Our bosses called them over about teasing a little kid and the CNAs let it slip they were messing with me. The dad said he was a lawyer and he'd sue them on my behalf, if I wanted, as it had gotten to where it could be considered a hate crime. I told him my cousin is also a lawyer and that I only have to put up with these coworkers a couple days a month, due to our schedules and would be happy if they would just leave me alone. The bosses did better and fired them. I gave the kid a bar of Jack o' Lantern soap I made that I brought in because our soap dispenser was broken and he cheered up. Rarely saw them again, but the kid always thanked me because he believed he would be allowed to work when he got older because of his Autism. I just told him, "It's tough and some days are better than others, but just because we're Autistic, doesn't mean we're stupid" and listed off celebrities who have similar or worse disabilities and, with the right support, we could do any job.

Unfortunately sometimes you don't have a choice. My ex who was very abusive forced me to do a joined account with him When he left he emptied it. To the day I don't know how much he actually stole off of me. In addition he took out payday loans and credit cards in my name & stole things like an expensive laptop he forced me to buy in my name. Police did nothing & I got the same blah blah like OP The only thing they really did something about was the SA he did to me. My ex left the UK & he finally got arrested in one of the Eastern European countries after several years & got extradited back & got tried for the SAs Currently he is in prison for half of the sentence & the rest will be on probation & once he's released he will be deported to were he originally is from.

You're so insecure that you have to pick on a disabled child to make yourself feel like a man. I'm not sure how high up in the company he was, but obviously this guy had a bit of a reputation of a bully inside of the company.....

I actually thought he understood that it was for emergencies only. BIG mistake; within a few months, he charged $5,000+. My previously excellent credit rating went down the drain, and I was unable to build it back up. (I became disabled right around that time, and terminally ill later.) A word to the wise: no joint accounts, no joint credit cards! You can both contribute to household finances, major purchases, vacations, etc. - no need to combine your earnings in one account.

[@Nevertoleave]

My husband and I have a joint account, joint credit card, and our separate accounts. Almost everything goes into the joint account and just a bit goes into the personal accounts. We also both hate putting anything on credit so it’s for stuff like hotel rooms and when my sister places a pick up order for her groceries which she then pays back once she gets the receipt and can confirm that nothing is missing from her order. That being said I know a few people that tried to pull al kinds of crap when divorcing. And old boss had his ex wife try to claim half of his family’s business. She said she helped build it, a business his parent had bought when he was like 2. Needless to say that didn’t work. And an in-law who’s wife basically killed his business because she refused to do any of the joint paperwork, grinding everything to a halt. My granny who cleaned out the joint accounts after her cheating spouse ran off with his girlfriend. My husband hates this one friend of his mother because that’s basically what she does for a living. She dates well off guys, marries them, then divorces and takes all she can. Moving on to her next target. He’s convinced that she talked his mom into leaving his dad

[@CartoonHero1986]

Last story: OP might have been petty, but not over the top. His uncle was storing firearms that where illegal to own (that in most nations means they are either too powerful, or too easily concealed for a private owner to have as a fireable weapon instead of a collection piece) and also being a reckless firearm owner. Not to mention shooting and killing animals in your yard in most places is illegal regardless of if you live in the city or in the country; unless the animal is in season or on an active game list and you happen live on a hunting lot where that animal just walked onto the property shooting at an animal is reckless and illegal. Things like this will get you arrested and charged with some pretty serious crimes regardless of how the police find them, and usually a person described the way the uncle was described will get caught one way or another eventually since they are far to public about it. The only thing that makes this petty is that OP appears to have felt no need to act on the fact that his uncle was reckless and shouldn't own firearms until the uncle crossed him.

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

Not to mention the uncle made a false police report about OP that could have quickly turned deadly had things gotten misunderstood once the police showed up to arrest OP.

[@FantasyAddict95]

I don't think OP went overboard having his uncle arrested at all. 1. He was acting entitled to someone else's expensive property, which while not illegal, is just the tip of the iceberg and the only legal a-hole act he committed. 2. He tried to assault OP, with the fact that he had BEAR SPRAY being the only thing stopping him because he had been MACED BEFORE, meaning it wasn't the first time someone had to resort to such an extreme in order to protect themselves from him. 3. He called police on OP for defending themselves with a -nonlethal- "LeThAl" weapon, which such an event had a chance higher than 0 of resulting in OP's death. 4. He would fire guns unnecessarily in the middle of a populated area, where he could have ended up hurting someone, and is HIGHLY ILLEGAL. 5. He would kill animals indiscriminately, resulting in him killing an endangered animal. There were better ways for him to deal with animals on his property, starting with installing lights or cameras to gather information on why animals would come and how best to deter them. After the trash? Secure the trash bins, or keep them inside the garage until pickup day. Family cat unspayed and attracting males? Get her spayed. Just... anything. He could have tried just about anything else. 6. He possessed illegal weapons, which I get that some areas have dumb laws on what is and isn't legal, the fact that someone so temperamental and with such little regard for laws and safety would likely collect guns deep in the "ILLEGAL FOR A REASON" territory. 7. The police raid on his house may have been "the final straw" for his wife, potentially after a long time dealing with an aggressive and disrespectful husband whose very actions and decisions led directly to the raid. Good for her for escaping such an awful man. He's proven himself time and again to be an armed menace, so it's better for the public as a whole that OP turned them in. He had violated so many laws and restrictions, and had threatened the wellbeing of others.

Revenge: We filed a permanent protective order against him. I live on tribal land and if he starts something, it's automatically federal. Since he has a PO against him, he is now on a no fly list. We reported him, since he was collecting Social Security Disability and making way too much money.

Story 2: I'd say that wasn't enough of a punishment. People who talk down to disabled individuals deserve to have their world brought down around them. They're even more vulnerable than able-bodied individuals, and if you target them specifically for being disabled, you deserve to suffer. Story 4: So, OP's uncle nearly ruins his life with a false allegation, and when OP has the uncle arrested for illegal storage and usage of guns, which were true allegations, to get a dangerous man off the streets and away from his other family, that's "too far" and "petty?"

Last one was not overkill at all. Shooting any game species without a license/tag/permit is very illegal and carries hefty fines. Poaching an elk gets you a fine of 10 grand or more, depending on if it is trophy or non trophy. A trophy bison, heaven forbid, gets you upwards of 30k. These are legal, non endangered species (heavily protected on the bison). Depending on what that guy was shooting, he could get anywhere from 50k fine to a felony. Per animal.

I love ProRevenge! Makes me happy

[@mscatinaclaytor]

Never have a joint bank account with someone you are in a relationship and never live with the person you are in a relationship with

[@DCHoosier62]

About the last story. I for one am a legal gun carrier. Now, I don’t carry all the time, only when I will be out late, or in a sketch area. That being said, I think what OP did was spot on! His uncle is a hot head with a quick temper and those type of people do NOT need to have access to guns. His uncle needs a psyche eval and counseling for his anger issues. GOOD FOR YOU OP!

[@AcerNitroFive]

In our country: In case of joint accounts, ALL parties must be PRESENT while withdrawing money AND cards such as ATM or Debit or Credit card aren't allowed to be linked to any joint accounts. Proven Safe!

[@audreygoode9321]

Thank goodness a new Dark Fluff😃. Hello all my fellow Dark Fluffies ❣️

[@Mojo_3.14]

The last story wasn't over kill, the uncle literally tried to frame him for a crime he didn't do. Worse case scenario he would have gone to jail. So reporting the uncle for a crime the uncle did do is fair play.

[@dragonweyr44]

My brother's former girlfriend was a thief and constantly got away with it. She stole my brother's inheritance from my father, she stole my mother's medication and and sold them I blame her for her death, she stole her social security checks, even after she died she stole the last one, she stole his meds and he ended up in a mental institution, after that, her and her new guy ripped the copper out of the house and I reported her to the police after each time and they literally did NOTHING about it It wasn't until after she robbed MY house and stole over $70000 worth of my things that she went before a judge and went to jail after I turned her in, again The result She was sent to jail for two years and ordered to pay me back $5000 Of which I received $90 before she violated parole and got two more years in jail Since then, she skipped the state and I haven't seen her since I never got anything else back as far as money goes but I DID get four years from her

[@johndeltuvia7892]

Story 4: Live by the false accusation, die by the true. The uncle making a false report to police had it coming when a true report to police was made about him!

[@jonathanbetenbender307]

Last story was exactly the kind of person you don't want to have a gun... based on the fact he had illegal guns tells you he'll sadly just get em again, but at least it'll be a lot easier to get him in trouble (for possession of a firearm). Guy should have had the book thrown at him. He lied to the police; at least in the US that's a felony. Sadly justice is rarely fair.

[@esecretlangel9130]

Judge Judy was right You should to take a written test, a psychiatric test, a fingerprint test and a background test, and an intelligence test, a training test, and a whole bunch other tests, before anyone gives you a gun.

[@arthurchadwell9267]

How about a car? Boat? Chainsaw? Knife? There are many items that are dangerous if misused....

[@terryp2517]

Crappy Kyle: Glad that Kyle was shuttered, all he wanted to be was a boss without any real responsibility. Uncle: I think OP did exactly what he needed to do. I don't think it was overkill at all.

[@GtaSpartan7596]

As a gun owner what op did reporting his uncle is the 100% right thing to do. We don’t want people who legally shouldn’t have guns to have them because they give us a bad reputation. It’s all about safety with firearms and using them to defend life you have someone like the uncle and that doesn’t end well

[@user-ro6sz8yv3x]

You and your partner should have separate accounts! My partner and I learned that mistake from our ex spouses. You can get a joint account just for bills.

[@waffles3629]

The uncle should be charged with making a false report, and the sentence should be whatever the sentence for what he falsely the person of doing.

[@fytrndm]

Even without the shooting endangers animals, that guy is extremely unhinged. He got mad and petty when someone said no to him. To top it all off he made false allegations just because things didn't go his way. Yeah, that wasn't too far. That was just the right amount of revenge.

[@tailsofchaos]

If they said on the last story what OP did was overkill, Then I'm guessing the Uncle what he did wasn't overkill either. If that didn't happen I'm pretty sure the Uncle will shoot somebody of any ages cause that happens in many places i heard about. Plus the uncle also lied which could had been way worse in that situation

[@shaystizzy]

The 1st story is exactly why you never open a joint account with an S.O. or anyone. Unless you're married. Even then, there is still a risk.

[@rantaianahtarc7220]

I cant help but think op from the last story (gun and uncle) saved a school from being shot by the uncle.

[@damien678]

No offence but y'all in the U.S. are completely bloody _INSANE_ when it comes to guns. A physically violent man that had illegal guns, that killed animals for no reason including endangered species... DOESN'T deserve to be sentenced for his crimes????

[@johnopalko5223]

As a gun owner, myself, I think OP in the last story did exactly the right thing. I only wish he had reported his uncle long before it came to that point. There are some people who simply should not have access to firearms.

[@JohnDlugosz]

Re "never open a joint account with someone you just met" No, I think it's proper to have a joint account with your domestic partner, but it just holds money for bills, not any savings. Each payday, each partner moves the agreed-upon amount into the joint account. The rent and utilities are paid from that account.

[@rebeccamurphy7804]

Last story: Was OPs move petty? Yes. Did it likely save lives? Also yes. It was only a matter of time before the hot head uncle shot a person. That uncle should NEVER be allowed to own guns again.

[@MegaPhycoKiller]

to anyone who says story 4 op went too far, remember: op simply got evidence of his uncles crimes and reported it to the police. he killed an endangered animal and possessed illegal firearms

[@carrieullrich5059]

And tried to get the police to murder him with lies.

[@tinasmith5530]

Last story is not over the top. The uncle was happily going to injure OP for saying no, what else would he have done. That crazy person should be in prison.

[@highflowerfairy2554]

The uncle story. That was not overkill. His uncle belongs behind bars. He illegally possesses firearms, and uses said firearms to kill innocents. He is a clear and present danger.

[@jennifercload9390]

Never ever open a Joint bank account with somebody you’re not married too. Even then you gotta be extremely cautious

[@ernestlemmingway1124]

*Last Story:* OP was definitely in the right. It's people like his uncle that give gun control advocates the ammunition (no pun intended) they need to pass laws that don't actually work to stop illegal sales and possession.

[@og_3rd_st_saint_gat]

Facts and those cops should be fired for arresting OP

[@waynekrumnauer4239]

Ya idiots like that give all law abiding gin owners a bad name

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

Yea I don't see how people are saying it was too much. Dudes uncle called the cops on him for a false claim, a claim that could've gotten op shot. That uncle should not be allowed to own a gun, and it looks like justice was served on that one. He fucked around and found out. What an idiot

[@TheDarkLink7]

Totally agree and wish more legal was taken against the uncle. The amount of threats the uncle could've done...... man the fears me.

[@anionleader]

Honestly, the last story doesn't sound like it was set in the USA. If anything it was Canadian or another country with looser restrictions but not American like.

[@IGSA101]

If you commit crimes, don't go pissing off the people who can actually get evidence of it to the police. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[@lindabartholomew6435]

My suggestion to singles is to never move in with or combine any accounts with anyone until you have a ring on your finger and a signature on a marriage license. Young people these days are a little too quick to commit to somebody and shack up with them, then are wondering why there are problems!!

[@EncyclopediaBrittanica]

Story 1: Only an idiot get a joint bank account with someone they aren't married to. I'm glad OP knows better now and won't make this mistake again.

[@eblckmn]

I understand now why my Dad has always said to never get a joint checking account with someone until you are married. I broke that rule with my now husband was my fiancé. But we wanted a wedding account. It all worked out. But I was lucky he’s a great man.

[@kolerick]

last story: was the uncle doing some things illegal? yes did op plant evidences? no did OP set the cog of justice in motion? yes not overkill. Just because you're not (yet) caught mean you did nothing wrong and you deserve to be a menace to others...

[@antonyduhamel1166]

Imagine if the dude who stole the $5k used it to pay off his debts. He would have gotten away with his crime practically scot free. But that would require brains.

[@JohnDlugosz]

Story 1: I wonder if he was bipolar, or something similar? It's certainly cyclic chronic depressive, if not manic-depressive. Maybe he just needs some Prozac and a few hours of therapy to keep the Black Beast at bay.

[@jerrystauffer2351]

#1. Opens an account with someone who brags about running out on creditors, helps them dodge creditors, gets robbed by same......SUPRISED PIKACHU FACE!

[@amberyoung4425]

I work with ALL types of developmentally delayed people and that second story HELLA pissed me off!! Good job Jake!! That was brilliant😂😊

[@rossbrumby1957]

Was not appropriate at all- jake should be going to jail over that and be sued for all he has. Nobody consider the bosses' daughter who's family life jake ruined?

[@michelleengle207]

That is why all couples should have separate bank accounts.

[@Tignya]

For the last story, OP didn't go too far. The words of many good folk: the best drivers are the ones with drugs in the car. Don't be an a-hole if you're doing illegal stuff.
