Re: Wife split!

[Doll]

As much as it sucks that she took your money I would just write it off since I am sure the divorce would have cost close to what she took. Ok, now that I've done the upstanding gentleman thing, after writing off the money I would be curious as to how the Russian government would feel knowing that one of their citizens had over $200,000.00 USD and yet paid no taxes on it.   I'm sure that would pique some bureaucrats interest in today's tough economic times.

You won't get the money back, but from what I hear the Russian tax collectors are extremely good at making life difficult for people they find are cheating the state.  

There is a  chance the money is here- in the USA.
Also it can be deposited on some other name there in Russia.

[Doll]

Ah, I see- she got the money transferred to a Russian bank.
Well, theoretically it belongs to both spouses.

[Doll]

The US embassy can't do anything, but you could tell her if she doesn't wire back half of everything she took, you will pay a "brigade with a strong brigadier" (important to use those words) to take everything from her, even if it costs you another $200,000.

Very funny
I don't think you can do anything- it is just a bad luck.
I do see one red flag- you have been sending her daughter $ 700 a month? Too much. That was the money transfer either. When my son was a student I sent 150 a  month and almost nothing when he started working.

Air,

What you have not told us is the value of your estate.  You started off by saying,

 

Then one day I was paying bills and looked at my bank accounts - one account showed a money transfer for $125,000.00 to a Russian Bank. I went right to the bank and talked with the manager

Breaking up is always an emotional loss even for the party who chooses to end the relationship.  I suspect there is a strong possibility what she did she did in complete ignorance of American laws on property settlement.  Had she simply announced to you that she wanted a divorce and obtained a lawyer and gone through the usual process, she would have ended up with far more than she took.

Some know that I am often critical of RW many of whom seem to display no scruples.  Yet my experience with AW has been that when faced with termination of the relationship, they will behave like a cornered beast.  My ex-wife (AW) took more than than in your case and in  my case it was about 90 percent of the marital estate as she convinced the judge that I had gifted her my interest in the home to when I quitclaimed the title so she could re-finance it.  It is all the more shocking when one considers that she is was heartbeat away from inheriting several million dollars in almond orchards from her mother's estate.

So if the $200k or so is not the major portion of your property, then you should send her a "thank you" card (not literally) and wish her well with the man she truly loves.  Get the best divorce attorney you can find and don't talk to her anymore.  If she is in Russia that fact may also be to your advantage as you should be able to get a default divorce.  Again, get a good divorce lawyer and move on quickly.  

PS.  This talk of brigade and other unlawful threats is not only idiotic but could ruin you or even result in you own untimely demise.

Let me predict the future. You (ambach) will make three trips to Bulgaria, you will meet women, you will wave a prenupt and for whatever reason (religious, not religious, too educated, not educated enough) you will break off your engagements. The only question is which country will then have women that are better "wife material" after your future disappointment with Bulgaria. Perhaps Albania? Perhaps Poland?

What happened to Prague?

Yes yes yes... just let us know when you (ambach) get back from your next sex tour.

Which given Ambach123's history, should be soon!

What happened to Prague?

Prague is in a class WAY ABOVE Bulgaria and Albania.  We have vacationed there, and actually liked it better than Paris and Barcelona.   

Good luck to anyone finding a girl in this beautiful city; she won't want to leave.

There needs to be some comingling of finances to prove a bona fide marriage to the USCIS.     

Is that true?  The USCIS never asked us for such evidence.  However, the agent stated within the first couple of minutes that he could tell from my interaction with my wife's children that the marriage was genuine.

If true, it can be handled simply by opening a joint bank account with the husband transferring each month a relatively small amount into it from an account in his name (or deposited by check).  The account could have a debit card, which unlike a credit card can not be taken below zero balance.

We were asked if we had a joint banking account.  I was prepared and showed them a statement, which showed both our names.

And debit cards CAN be taken below zero if you order stuff online. I used to believe the same as you, Gator. Marina got cards confused doing Christmas shopping and not only was the card accepted, it resulted in a $30 fee for every transaction from BOA.  We lost over $500 from that experience.  Now we have it set up so she gets an email on her cell phone anytime the balance gets under $250.   I also told her to use our credit card for mail order purchases and to use the debit card just for ATM cash withdraws.

Has anyone considered the OP is a troll?

The original story does not sound ligament to me. There are things I think most people would agree on.

1. Maxx is not the best at providing advice on how to get over being screwed over by a RW.

2. There are woman who would use a man to get what they want.

But to maintain a hidden agenda, (can't think of better word) for 5 years with out the OP having any sense of something not being right does not ring true with me.

3. 125k for 5 years scamming does not sound like the worlds most profitable occupation.

4. The first post of the OP was the story about a RW stealing 125k.

Funny you mentioned it.

I had a "gut" reaction like yours when I first read this story, BUT...We have a lot of guys come on RWD to vent after they have been screwed over by an FSUW and even more member's who marry an FSUW and just drop off the radar screen.

I don't know of any way that legitimacy can be established/gauged in a posting?

Do you HiTech?


GOB

[Gator]

FWIW I shall never comment on any of your despicable posts.

Because you just commented, does that mean you find GOB's post as not despicable?

If the same criticism has been repeatedly directed at you, it is best to withhold comment as difficult as that can be.  Nevertheless, you should not ignore it and instead try to comprehend why married men are criticizing you.

You have stated in another thread that you feel too jittery about pulling the trigger and filing for a K-1.  Your concerns center on your fear that a RW is ingrained to take all your money.

If you do not think any RW can be sincere, you should not be dating any RW. 

If this fear is not imprinted in you, the only way to deal with it is to spend a lot of time with ONE woman and see if a loving, trusting relationship develops.  You have the time and money to do exactly that.  Surely one of the RW you have met has enough promise to warrant spending more time with her.  Instead, you seek to meet new RW.  This is what draws the ire from happily married men such as Kuna and GOB.

If your response is that none of the three RW is suitable.  Then I say the process you used to select RW for meetings is flawed.  And if still flawed after three trips, my recommendation is that RW are not for Ambach.

Rather than criticising Air for obvious mistakes, you should recall that you were not exactly Mr. Brain (e. g.  you had some erroneous concepts about how to develop a prenup when you first came aboard).

Meanwhile, if you have a fear of flying I would not be looking at photos of air crash sites.  Instead, study the cases of happily married men and women.

GOB:

It all depends on the postings. In this case I can not say with out a doubt it not legitimate.

But I do know it is pegging my BS meter.

[Gator]

Regarding the BS meter,  Maxx is very effective at communicating off the board with members.  I imagine that he has attempted to open a dialogue with Air.  Let us see what Maxx has to say.

[ambach123]

Thanks for the advice Gator. I appreciate it.  That is exactly what I plan to do, spend more time with one of the three I met. I have already met her twice. One problem is that she wants to move faster. She is 32 so I guess she may be worried about her biological clock as well.
She appears to be not into money; never asked for anything other than " I vant to see you qweekly ".

[Gator]

That is exactly what I plan to do, spend more time with one of the three I met.

Splendid!  Getting to know someone does not mean that you are destined to marry; however, you are giving love a chance.

32 stll leaves plenty of time to follow a natural pace.  Love and trust take time for which there is no substitute in my opinion.

[Maxx2]

I did send him a PM to offer sympathy and asked him to post his story on my site in the section "Real stories of fraud". Which he did. It was a 'cut and paste' of the first two posts on this thread. Which is fine, I know that it is painful to post anything at times like these. There was no comments yet. My board is about as much fun as a graveyard so that can be expected. Besides short of murder we have had just about every type of crime and insanity posted there that one can imagine. I have talked to dozens and dozens of guys and I've talked with a number of American women as well, maybe a dozen or so who have been in the same circumstances as Air. Sometimes someone will say "You will be shocked by what I am about to tell you". Then afterwards I tell them other very similar cases and how they turned out. That usually shocks them. 

As far as him moving on. It is not the time for that. He has a lot to clear out of his life before he can move on. In regard to me helping him move on. I never have thought of giving myself that job description. I try to help those guys and gals from getting locked up on false DV charges. Telling them that the USCIS will not likely investigate marriage fraud. And I try and help them with getting better positioned in a divorce or annulment. That is if they ask my advice on that. That's about as far as I go. Lately I have been not involving myself much in these crash and burns. I do have a life outside these boards and it does keep me busy.

This shows one of the reasons you have been having trouble attracting FSU women - lack of maturity.    

Most of your posts I have read you sound like a spoiled brat that can't make up his mind what he wants and then when things don't go the way you want them to it's always someone else s' fault.

[Maxx2]

Ambach could rise up the RWD pecking order if he got himself a Russian wife and then over the years made some anniversary announcements. Then he'd be one of the boys.

[ambach123]

Jerry, I think we should limit this thread to the more important discussion of the subject matter. What I do or don't do is not that important. And if someone is so obsessed with my adventures they can start another thread.
Did I say that I had difficulty attracting RW?
