This part interests me;

The guy I hooked up with is well educated, oxford, American ivy league schools, masters degrees etc.

How do you know this for certain, did you do a background check on him, verifying with the schools he's attended and alumni, to see if these credentials are real?

What sort of proof did he supply for his educational background?

One can make false statements about education, especially if they are a scammer, in order to hook a fish. Not a shot, but if you didn't do your due diligence and check up on his credentials before investing, then you made a terrible mistake.

I googled him and he said he was a prof at a university for a brief period and he was on their website and a few other sites that checked out.

No offence, but you are an idiot for getting involved in a business with someone like that whom you do not know very well.

Google should have been the last thing you do. Anyone can make a wiki page with all kinds of fake information on it.

What University was he a prof at? Someone who has an Ivy league education and has gone to Oxford would be at that level of University, nothing lower. Did you ask for references and if so, did her supply any? A full check should have been made on this dude. You weren't laying out a couple hundred dollars. Not a shot, just a reality check.

I had a similar problem with someone recently. I did not invest any money but I was promised a lot and got ripped off. There are a lot of scammers out there. Be careful.
