Man learns casino losses not deductible
NEW YORK, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- A man alleges in a lawsuit filed in New York that his former fiancee should be required to return a $58,000 engagement ring since their relationship is over.
Roger Adler, 42, alleges in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit his former fiancee, Rena Hope Friedman, accepts marriage proposals from men in order to end the relationship and keep the valuable engagement rings, the New York Post said Sunday.
Court papers show Adler alleges his former lover was "previously engaged to another male… the engagement ended under similar circumstances... (she) failed to return the engagement ring in the previous matter."
Adler proposed to Friedman, 41, after the couple had been dating for only six weeks. For their engagement, Friedman received the valuable diamond and platinum engagement ring.
Adler alleges Friedman convinced an appraiser to use her name on the appraisal of the 4-carat diamond ring in preparation for selling the expensive item.
Within 12 days of their engagement, the couple's engagement and relationship were over after Friedman voiced opposition to Adler's parents attending their wedding.
"The lies were piled higher and higher," Adler told the Post. "You have no idea."
