If it was an investment of a substantial size, and you only lost $15k, I'd feel like I dodged a bullet. I've lost a few times that over the last couple years, but you win some/lose some. It's a life lesson that prepares you for the future.
However, I guess it's just easier to complain about it when a "friend" was partnered with you, as you can blame them for the downfall instead of yourself (or the economy as a whole). Investments are gambles that are never guranteed. You don't yell at a casino dealer for losing a hand of blackjack, do you? Business investments are no different
I'm sure Scott has covered well over $15k over the last few years with you if you take into account rent, travel, etc. If you're smart, you'll patch it up, truck through the downfall together, and bounce back up when the time is right.
