Mike is a turd, beyond all the business side of this whole thing good friends are hard to come by and he didn't appreciate a good friend. Hopefully some day he grows up and looks back at his life and realizes what a POS he had been. I had a friend who I was just as close a friend with who I had known for close to 2/3 of my life and all it took to change that friendship 180 deg was his girlfriend who didn't like that we were such good friends. Trying to figure out why or how a person can be like that won't get you anywhere and sadly you may never get the closure of knowing why it all went down the way it did.
At least on the business side of things you were awarded what looks like half of the amount he made from the sale, and I'm sure you'll do good with the money and I hope it brings some light into your lives.
Congrats on the win Dustin
