Bella Aida Gardens Reception Hall, Aida Dagher, Rosemary Acosta-Clark Money not returned, business closed down, Owner ran off to another country with my $5000.00

My fiance Joe and I are getting married January. We booked our reception hall at Bella Aida Garden's which was managed by Rosemary Acosta Clark. Rosemary has actually been convicted of stealing money in the past. This is a headline I found on the ABC 13 website: Charity gala organizer Rosemary Acosta Clark to go to trial for alleged theft of $45,000.6/01/05

We paid Rosemary $5,000 on the hall within the past 6 months and two weeks ago we found out that the building was shut down due to the fact that Rosemary was paying for the rent of the space to the landlord so he shut them down. The court found Rosemary guilty of taking money from the company.

We have been contacting the owner's attorney Tom Devine who is no longer representing them and we were informed that we will not get our $5000.00 back along with the other 15 people who had events planned. The owner Aida Dagher has left to Beirut, Bayrut Lebanon and apparently ran off with the merchandise that was in the ballroom which was worth up to $200,000.00 along with everyone's money. Her attorney nor has anyone else heard anything from her since Friday which gives me the idea that they were all in on the scam.

Rosemary went to court Friday and is now sentenced 30 days in prison and 10 years probation. Tom Devine spoke with me and told me there is nothing we can do to get the money back; they were not insured so we pretty much lost all our money. We need advice as to what we need to do in order to get our money back if we can actually get it back since she is no longer in the states and unreachable.
