(CNN) — Eric Abramovitz's hard work had paid off: The accomplished clarinet player had been accepted to his dream school. But he never got to hear the good news.
That's because when his acceptance email arrived in 2014, Abramovitz's then-girlfriend, Jennifer Lee, deleted it and sent him a fake rejection email from the school. It was a $265,000 mistake.

"It was really devastating to feel that incredible betrayal," Abramovitz told CNN. "It made me think of our whole relationship and it made me feel like everything might have been a lie."

Where it began

A college sophomore studying music at McGill University at the time, Abramovitz had applied to a two-year, full-scholarship program to finish his bachelor's degree at Colburn Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles. Itching to study with a renowned clarinet teacher, Abramovitz spent many late nights in practice rooms to prepare for his audition, which he thought went well.

The full scholarship -- which includes tuition, room and board -- is worth about $50,000 a year and Abramovitz said graduating from Colburn would have set him up for a high-paying symphony career. When he was rejected, Abramovitz said he was crushed.
"It was a disappointing feeling," Abramovitz said. "I had such high hopes."
Abramovitz would have studied under Yehuda Gilad, who is considered one of the best clarinet instructors in the world, he said. Gilad accepts only two new students each year at Colburn, and Abramovitz was one of them.

How she covered her tracks

This Wednesday, a Canadian court ruled that Abramovitz's ex-girlfriend owed him more than $265,000 (350,000 Canadian dollars) for damages including loss of reputation, educational opportunity and two years of potential income. Roughly US$37,000 of that final amount was added on by the judge for Lee's "despicable interference" in Abramovitz's career.

To convince Abramovitz that Colburn had rejected him, his girlfriend posed as Abramovitz and replied to the school's acceptance email, writing that he would not accept the scholarship because he planned to "be elsewhere." Then she deleted the acceptance email from Abramovitz's inbox.

Lee went one step further, creating a fake email address for Yehuda Gilad: giladyehuda09@gmail.com, and sending Abramovitz a rejection email that offered him a spot at the University of Southern California with a $5,000 scholarship instead. Tuition at USC is more than $50,000, a price Abramovitz said his girlfriend would have known he could not afford.

"It still puzzles me why she even added that," Abramovitz said. "She knew it wouldn't be realistic, so I had to turn that down even though it wasn't real."
Defeated, Abramovitz completed his studies at McGill. He and Lee broke up a few months later for unrelated reasons, he said.

The moment it all came together

Fast forward two years to 2016, when Abramovitz auditioned for a graduate program at USC, where Gilad also teaches. Abramovitz still had no idea his rejection from Colburn was fake. Each man thought they had been rejected by the other.

Abramovitz described a confusing scene at his USC audition in which Gilad asked why he was there, because he had rejected Colburn, and in turn, his instruction.
"With all due respect, I believe you rejected me," Abramovitz said he told Gilad.
He said Gilad repeated that it had been the other way around. Abramovitz figured Gilad was confusing him with another student.

It wasn't until Abramovitz's classmates asked why he had rejected the Colburn offer that he began to think something was fishy. He went back through his emails and forwarded the rejection he had received in 2014 to Gilad, who said he had never written it.
"I knew I'd been had, but I was still far from knowing by who," Abramovitz said.

His friends became involved in the case and suggested his ex-girlfriend might have played a role.
"It was scary to even confront that thought given how much I trusted her, but over time it started to sink in and I became more and more suspicious that maybe she had done it, as unpleasant as it was to imagine," Abramovitz said.

Abramovitz tested some of his ex's old passwords to sign into the account that sent the rejection email two years earlier, and that's when the pieces started coming together. The account's recovery information was his girlfriend's email and phone number.

"It was a simultaneous stab to the back and the heart," Abramovitz said. "It really was the last person I would have wanted to find out it was."
When served with the initial lawsuit, Lee did not respond to Abramovitz's lawyers, so she lost by default. Under Canadian law, a defendant in default "is deemed to admit the truth of all allegations of fact" made in the plaintiff's claim.
CNN made attempts to locate Lee, but she could not be reached for comment.
The process was long, Abramovitz said, but he hasn't let the experience affect the way he trusts people.

A bright future

Today, Abramovitz has a new girlfriend.
"We are coming up on two years soon and it is a really healthy relationship with trust and honesty," Abramovitz said. "I'd like to think my judgment of character has improved a little bit."
Abramovitz has also found success in his professional life. He won a position with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and was recently appointed the associate principal clarinetist of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
Abramovitz says he doesn't "harbor any ill feelings" towards his former girlfriend and hopes she can learn from the experience and live a more honest life.
"Despite what happened I think I landed on my feet and the trajectory I'm on is still what I wanted for myself," he said.

MARKET TODAY EXTREMELY BULLISH- LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO ABOUT MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK (BUT DON'T FORGET TO SELL YOUR LAGGARDS)

Today's performance was the best for a portfolio like mine. I foresee some people now going to get cash for the market. So the heard will come (no need to start worrying yet).

For us who are serious about the market, time to sell those stock that will probably give us headache in the future. For me top on my kicking out list is Dangote flour if per chance it gets to NGN12.50 or any time it start showing some symptom that bears will catch up with it, I am out of it for good till about April 2019 when I will check the stock again.

Please go back to sleep. This time around, eat, belle full and pray before you sleep, then watch the dream in slow motion, you may see it the other way round - bull swallowing bear

Parisfran:
No mind am. Those of us that foresaw the index kissing 38k this year are not even digging posts. The difficulty in investing is not in predicting price (most people can do that), it is WHEN will your price be met.

DeRuggedProf:
Whenever there is excessive BEARISH NEWS, there is a BULLISH TRAP close by and vice versa...

swilo:
I actually think his bear related post is too much.

During Bullish period, some people sef get trapped in some wicked stocks and make massive loss.

As we speak in this bearish times, some persons still have very good capital appreciation. Some stocks are actually inching up.

The last time I checked, Chibuking comments has never changed the price of any stock, even JAPAUL.

RabbiDoracle:
Soon prices will get to historical low.

I believe tomorrow, the herds will move in to depress the prices further.

Afterwards MM will halt it in a buying frenzy and people will start to buy again.

Guy, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I work @ a multi-national. Colleagues who are friends, were downsized. Folks BPs were at an all-time high. Niggas cried. Senior managers who handed out letters, also got letters. It was a blood-bath. ''Eni ori yo, o di 'le''.Sourcing for raw materials using expensive dollars was crazy, we couldn't manufacture, consumers can't afford the higher prices. Those who ask for war, or other evils, have never experienced one. Seeing friends suffer with their families was not nice. These are guys who got payoffs, & also own their own homes. Imagine those who don't even have those.Sometimes, when you are relatively well-paid for so long, you find it hard to survive after the job loss, even if you think you're well-prepared. Now, I don't ever pray for anyone to suffer a job loss, not even my enemy. I pray 9ja doesn't break-up, the economic implications on the average folks will be crazy.

Foreign investors in action, they don't want to be taking unaware, politician that needed money for both primary and general election are also pulling out to avoid lack of cash due to portfolio reduction, election Bear in action.

This is how MMM took their people unaware, many was planning to leave them by December while they close down by November.
Likewise in stock they know that very soon many will sell to hold on for election, so Foreign investors and politician decided to started early.

LOCODEMY and IHEDIORAMMA are ready and willing to welcome members who wishes to sell and face their business till after election.

On Apr. 5, you said you "sent" the stock on bid at N13.75 and now you are saying you sold all at N14.40.

This reminds me of Sir Peter and his Oando Shares. "Hand of Esau, Voice of Jacod". Kontinu Sir, you must be a very perfect shooter.

chai! Bear can turn some pple to something else. When you analyse to predict rise in price of particular stock and you are right, they says is Fixed. When you analysis a particular stock that is overvalued that their performance is unsustainable and you are right. They says analysis paralysis.

anyway I understand the pain of losing money
