I need help with legal fees

Donation protected

Hey everyone, my name is Christopher Pool. Some of you may know of me because I play a character called "Reactor" on my youtube channel of the same name.

Long story short, I need your help with legal fees so I could begin a lawsuit.

Long story long, in 2015 I started a business/brand. Some time later, and after some mild success, I agreed to let someone I know join in and help me grow the business. I then agreed to let that person's friend join us. As it turns out, these were some of the worst decisions I've made in my entire life.

I failed to protect myself because I never would have imagined this person would do anything to hurt me. Because of this, I gave them access to the email and social media accounts of the business.

Once they had access, they took control and then created a new corporation using the same name and logo. The only difference between the business I created and the new one, was that I wasn't an owner and a wealthy investor was.

Basically, the two people that I had trusted with my business now own the new corporation with the wealthy investor.

I didn't even know they had created a new corporation without me until at least two weeks after they did it. After I found out, I stopped paying the bills for them and made them take over the payments. They didn't even have the decency to let me know I was paying for a business I didn't own.

After all of this happened I tried my best to carry on, but eventually I fell into a deep depression, disappeared from public view, and had pretty much given up on life. 

I'm still not back to my old self, but I am feeling well enough to stand up for myself, and now I'm asking for your help.

I've always sort of thought of crowdfunding a joke, but now I see it as my only hope for being able to afford the legal fees to take action against people who have access to millons of dollars

I've already tried reasoning with these people but it's gotten me nothing but threats. For simply trying to discuss the situation with them, I am being accused of extortion.

Because of this, I met with attorneys and showed them all the evidence I have been able to collect. From the years of paying for the business expenses to videos of them admitting I created it by myself, and even incorporation documents showing we were in business together.

The attorneys I spoke with are very confident because of all the evidence I've collected. The only problem, as they explained it, is that the defendants have access to millions of dollars and could easily force this to cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars while I can't even afford the $5,000 retainer fee.

I know this explanation has been very vague, but I'm hoping this is enough to convince you to help me. 

If this isn't enough to get anyone's support, just know that I am also working on a video that will better explain who and what exactly happened to me.

I'm asking for $5,000 because that's the amount I need to hire the lawyers. It's very likely to cost me a lot more than this, but I already feel uncomfortable enough just by asking for this.
