Same thing happen to me. Only it was 2 mil instead of 5 and I did not really have to do any due diligence as I was selling my product, not my company. So other then spending some time and paying couple of grand to have lawyer go over the agreements I did not suffer much.
Exactly. Already had some savings. Add 2 mil and was thinking early retirement. Well maybe some work when I feel like here and there but life with no financial pressure ;)
But boy, was I disappointed ;(
