Right... so your hard-up friends started a children's clothing party-plan business... but because they are losers, they have no friends... so step in kind-hearted you... and offer to help... They do you over, and now you - like everyone else before you - doesn't want to be friends with these losers, who are temporarily 'winners' now... But guess what, these kinds of people only prosper temporarily... They have an unfortunate habit of abandoning contracts, and abusing relationships. their friends today will be - like you - their enemies of tomorrow.
My advice? Let the universe unfold as it will on this. If you really want to waste your time by taking them to court... you could.. but remember, you are only advised to litigate against people who have some assets to claim. It will cost you to get a writ and start proceedings. And for what? To have your day in court, but ultimately find out that their enterprise is not paying even wages.
Chalk it up. These folk are in some seriously dysfunctional patterns. They let people down, and people have a habit of not forgetting.
