sorry to hear that! I have had the same thing happen, and it is terrible. There are shit birds out there that are lower than Whale shit and there always will be. It will be better soon and everyone that knows you and that have done business with you, know that you are a honest and upfront guy. Everyone understands and you have nothing to worry about from your friends, and customers.
take a deep breath, keep the faith and God Bless.
