[00:00:00]AND TWO MONTHS CAME UP AND I WAS LIKE, "I AIN'T GOT NOTHING YET."

[00:00:02]SO WHAT'S GOING ON?

[00:00:04]>> Judge Judy: SO NOW WE'RE IN MARCH OF 2014, RIGHT?

[00:00:07]>> YES.

[00:00:07]> Judge Judy: AND YOU CONTINUE TO SEE HER UNTIL WHEN?

[00:00:10]>> LAST TIME I SAW HER WAS BACK IN SEPTEMBER, AND I HADN'T HEARD NOTHING FROM HER -- >> Judge Judy: JUST A SECOND.

[00:00:14]THE LAST TIME YOU SAW HER -- BUT SHE WAS AT YOUR HOUSE AND YOU WERE AT HER HOUSE AFTER MARCH.

[00:00:18]>> YEP.

[00:00:18]>> Judge Judy: AND STILL HAD THE SAME SOCIAL ARRANGEMENT THAT YOU HAD BETWEEN MARCH AND SEPTEMBER.

[00:00:24]>> YEP.

[00:00:24]>> Judge Judy: AND SHE DIDN'T PAY YOU BACK ANY OF THE MONEY.

[00:00:27]>> NO.

[00:00:27]>> Judge Judy: AND?

[00:00:28]>> AND EVERY TIME I'D QUESTION HER ABOUT IT, SHE ALWAYS SAID THAT SHE WAS GONNA PAY ME BACK.

[00:00:32]HAVE PATIENCE ON IT.

[00:00:32]SHE'S GONNA PAY ME BACK.

[00:00:33]AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER FOR AWHILE, SO THEN I TEXT HER AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD NOTHING FROM HER, AND THEN I SENT HER A TEXT, SOMETHING ABOUT WE NEED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THIS LOAN, AND THEN I GOT A TEXT BACK.

[00:00:43]SHE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF CAR TROUBLE, AND THINGS ARE A LITTLE TIGHT RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:47]>> Judge Judy: MM-HMM.

[00:00:48]MR. CROSBY, HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU GIVE HER?

[00:00:51]>> $5,000.

[00:00:52]>> Judge Judy: SHOW ME.

[00:00:54]>> A COPY OF THE CANCELED CHECK.

[00:00:57]AND ALSO GOT THE LOAN AGREEMENT THROUGH MY BANK THAT I BORROWED MY MONEY AGAINST MY PICKUP TO GET THE MONEY.

[00:01:02]>> Judge Judy: SO YOU BORROWED MONEY AGAINST YOUR TRUCK, ACCORDING TO YOU.

[00:01:04]>> YES.

[00:01:09]>> Judge Judy: OKAY, NOW LET'S GO TO YOU, MS. BIERMAN.

[00:01:11]YOU HAD AN IDEA OF BUYING CARS AND FLIPPING THEM AND MAKING A PROFIT.

[00:01:15]IS THAT RIGHT?

[00:01:16]>> YES, MA'AM.

[00:01:17]>> Judge Judy: PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO ME.

[00:01:18]>> MM-HMM.

[00:01:19]>> Judge Judy: MR. CROSBY GAVE YOU $5,000.

[00:01:22]IS THAT RIGHT?

[00:01:23]>> YES.

[00:01:23]>> Judge Judy: THAT WAS IN JANUARY, ACCORDING TO THE CANCELED CHECK, OF 2014.

[00:01:27]>> YES.

[00:01:28]>> Judge Judy: WHEN DID YOU BUY THE FIRST CAR?

[00:01:30]>> I DIDN'T.

[00:01:32]>> Judge Judy: THEN HOW COULD THAT BE A FAILED BUSINESS INVESTMENT, MS. BIERMAN?

[00:01:36]DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[00:01:37]LET'S SAY YOU SAID TO HIM -- 'CAUSE WHAT YOUR DEFENSE IS -- "THIS WAS A BUSINESS INVESTMENT THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT BECAUSE THE BUSINESS DIDN'T WORK OUT."

[00:01:46]WELL, THE BUSINESS DOESN'T WORK OUT IF YOU BUY THE CAR AND THEN TRY TO FLIP IT, BUT IF YOU NEVER BUY THE CAR, THAT MEANS THAT YOU TOOK HIS MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.

[00:01:56]WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE MONEY?

[00:01:57]>> I SPENT IT -- >> Judge Judy: LOOK UP HERE.

[00:02:00]>> I SPENT IT ON OTHER THINGS THAT CAME UP, LIKE BILLS AND TRANSPORTATION.

[00:02:04]>> Judge Judy: BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU TOLD HIM THE MONEY WAS FOR.

[00:02:07]>> RIGHT.

[00:02:07]>> Judge Judy: WELL, SO YOU HAVE NO DEFENSE TO THIS CASE.

[00:02:11]>> I WAS GOING TO INVEST IN CARS AND FLIP IT AND MAKE A PROFIT, BUT IT DIDN'T TURN OUT THAT WAY.

[00:02:19]>> Judge Judy: WELL, IT DIDN'T TURN OUT THAT WAY 'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T BUY A CAR!

[00:02:21]I MEAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A GENIUS TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

[00:02:23]>> RIGHT.

[00:02:25]>> Judge Judy: SO, I'M GONNA ASK YOU AGAIN.

[00:02:27]WHAT'S YOUR DEFENSE TO THIS CASE?

[00:02:29]>> THAT I'M NOT GONNA PAY HIM BACK HIS MONEY BECAUSE HE OFFERED IT.

[00:02:32]HE'D OFFERED TO GIVE ME THE MONEY, AND HE DIDN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN.

[00:02:36]HE DIDN'T ASK FOR -- >> Judge Judy: NO, YOU TOLD ME -- YOU WANT ME TO READ WHAT YOU WROTE, MISS GENIUS?

[00:02:41]>> SURE.

[00:02:42]>> Judge Judy: "I PITCHED HIM A POSSIBLE BUSINESS VENTURE IN WHICH I WOULD BUY CARS AND SELL THEM.

[00:02:47]I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND HE WAS ENTHUSIASTIC I AGREED TO GIVE HIM 25% OF THE PROFIT" -- IN YOUR BUSINESS.

[00:02:54]WELL, HOW CAN YOU MAKE A PROFIT IF YOU DIDN'T BUY A CAR?!

[00:02:59]ARE YOU THICK OR WHAT?

[00:03:00]>> NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.

[00:03:02]>> Judge Judy: WELL, THEN -- JUDGMENT FOR THE PLAINTIFF IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000.
