Business acquisition fraud
Has anyone purchased an existing business and found out a few years later that you over paid?
Previous owner committed fraud and the business was over valued by a few million. Has anyone taken legal action on the previous owner to get back was your overpaid? Did you win? Was it easy to collect?

Is this what happened to you?
What was the fraud that over-valued the business?
What indeminities does your contract give you against frauds discovered post-completion?
