For some, money is not just a means to an end; it becomes an obsession, a tool for control, and a weapon for coercion. My recent experience has laid bare the depths to which people will go to prioritize financial gain over fairness, integrity, and even basic human decency. The threats, manipulation, and deceit I have faced in my pursuit of justice and rightful settlement have been staggering.

One of the most egregious tactics used against me has been the threat of a subpoena—a clear attempt at intimidation. The message was simple: accept their paltry financial settlement, one that doesn’t even meet the bare minimum under Spanish law, or face being dragged into court It is a tactic designed to wear me down, to push me into submission, and to force me into a position where I have no choice but to accept their terms. This is not negotiation; this is coercion at its finest.

This isn’t even the first time they have pulled such a stunt. Their strategy is one of repetition, using the same methods to secure financial advantages for themselves at the expense of others. Their latest move? Introducing an estate agent of their choice—one that they can manipulate to repeat the process they carried out in a previous settlement with an ex-wife. The pattern is clear: control the process, dictate the outcome, and ensure they walk away with the financial upper hand.

The level of deceit and underhandedness is exhausting, but it has also been eye-opening. It has reinforced a lesson I have learned the hard way—when money is the driving force, morality, empathy, and fairness often take a backseat. It’s a sobering realization, but one that empowers me to stand firm.

I refuse to be bullied into accepting less than what is rightfully mine. I refuse to allow threats and coercion to dictate my future. I will not be part of a pre-planned financial scheme designed to benefit the few at the expense of justice. If they think they can intimidate me into submission, they have gravely underestimated my resolve.

This battle is not just about money. It is about principle. It is about exposing manipulation for what it is. It is about refusing to be silenced. And it is about ensuring that those who believe they can control others with financial power are held accountable.

Let this be a reminder: when you stand for what is right, no amount of money-driven scheming can shake your foundation. And I intend to stand firm until the very end.
