Being Fucked Over

[Vibrant]

I know this isn't the best place to post this on, but I need help.

I recently hired a developer for my server back in August. He's 14 and didn't want to be paid as he did it for a hobby. He continuously worked on the server for 2 months with me and I had told him I'd pay him afterward for his good work. Last night he messages me telling me hes leaving my server. I accept it, and ask for SRC to various plugins I bought. I bought many plugins and cores from other developers on MC-Market, but he has the files and I do not. Every plugin including the source code and dedicated server has been hijacked by him. I was thinking about taking legal action as he practically stole $1700 from me, though I don't have enough information on him. I only have his general location, his name and father's name. What should I do?

Im out of money now and there is no way I can pay for development. I also took a loan for the server for the dedi, the dev took it. And I can't pay back with no server. So now my account is also likely go get banned

DM me with your server. Maybe there's someone here to save your ass.

Well, 90% sure my account is going to be gone within 15 days. It was a good run, thank everyone for all you've done for me

You didn't make any backups of it at all?

 

[Vibrant]

The dedi was bought off money from a loan that was mine. So now he either owes the loan or give me my dedi

No point in taking legal action for 1700 IMO.

 

[Vibrant]

I have all his info. Still nothing.
