He could then take all of his original investment back, out of the profit of the sale, and also have had enough left over to send some money your way to help you out in your time of bankruptcy woes, you know... to salvage the friendship.
Too bad it didn't happen that way.
So I'll say this: you both knew the risks going into it. When the worst case scenario happens both parties have to suck it up and share the loss, not just one.
I do know that until one of you makes a bold move to make things right with the other you're going to be sniping back and forth on this board for a long long time to come I'm sure.

It sounds to me like Jman was never in a position to do that which is why Sleazy made the down payment in the first place.
Without meaning to downplay the significance of what 15k obviously means to Jman, the true loser in this deal was Sleazy. Not only does it appear he spent MORE than 15k on Jman through his own generosity, Sleazy lost someone who he thought was a friend and even worse it turns out, was never really much of a friend in the first place.
Sleazy spent 15k and lost a friend. Jman ONLY lost 15k.
