So, I'm a a roofing contractor and have been doing a big job all winter. Well, it's been a little bit of doing the job and a lot of trying to get progress payments on time. 
The last work we did on it was a couple months ago because payment stopped coming. a large bounced check put my account waaaay too much into the negative and my supplier accounts are on hold, all because of this company that won't pay me what they owe me.
(this is where it gets good.)
To make a loooong story short, I call in yesterday to see if by any miracle there's any money in the account for me, and I'm told that the lady that I've been dealing with pretty much embezzled and spent all of the money as it's come in to her, instead of pass it on to me, and IT'S ALL GONE. over 100K, gone. Basically, I can't do any work right now with my accounts on hold, and the dang lady spent over 100k of my money, and my suppliers' money.
QUESTION:
HOA insurance will pay this money back --eventually-- but is there any way I could sue this lady for the last 3 months of wasted time, now trashed credit score, now trashed bank history, and the fact that I can't really work much right now due to my supplier accounts on hold? I don't know how long it will take to get back on my feet from this. I'm even considering doing summer sales in Boston because of the situation.
and what ticks me off the most is that my poor wife is worried sick. Like, she actually got sick. I can't even explain in words how mad that makes me.
