I hope he uses this as his defense, because it ain't gonna fly.

Problem is even IF the above were true, which of course it most likely isn't, he's STILL on the hook to either deliver a car, or repay your money. That's the cost of doing business, taking risks that shit goes sideways.

If you had set up the transaction with this "somebody" yourself and Anthony was just helping you complete the transaction, that's a different story... but obviously that's not the case here. Anthony took your money as a business proposition to help you locate and procure the vehicle. If the person he decides to deal with scams him, that's his problem, not your's.
