I was in shock, and actually, I was kind of embarrassed that I went through that.

What was on it? Harvard graduate, experience with PR and marketing. Everything I was looking for, he had it on there. And he was an international lawyer, apparently. I kind of thought he was the whole package. And I spoke to him and I hired him the same day.

Every time I would tell him, Nicholas, where is the work? Show me what you've done so far. He would either come up with an excuse or he would like send me a picture of something like his dog.

So one time he was in the hospital, and then another month his wife was in the hospital. I think she had appendicitis. Then his dog was in the hospital.

He and his wife Miranda would be on the board. So I asked him, I said, are you trying to take over all my companies, what's happening here? He goes, no, no, no, no, I just want to oversee what's happening.

He said he needed it for the paperwork. At first, I was going along with it because I said, OK, I'm going to see what he does, see if he'll actually start working.

I terminated his access to my website, to his emails and his wife's emails. You didn't give him any warning? That's it. No warning. He didn't take this well? He got very aggressive, started sending a lot of messages, phoning. I wasn't answering my phone.

I was very, very nervous because I didn't know how this would affect my brand that I had just recently launched at the time and my family and, you know, how crazy is he? He's going to go after my kids.

As soon as I told him he's terminated, that's when everything went live. All of his smear tactics went live. Yes, he had fake social media accounts where he was tweeting about me, that my vegan cheese is fake, that it's not really vegan. I started calling the police in every country. I filed all those fraud reports. I hired a private investigator in Dublin to track him down.

They tell me, tell me what you got, and I'll tell you what I have. And we swapped, you know, information. How badly do you want to bring this man down? I want him behind bars big time because not only what he's done to me, but what he's done to so many people. But justice was a long way off.
