    1031 embezzlement by Intermediary

    My client sold real estate for 1.2 million. Part of the 1031 was complete. The Intermediary that my client chose to handle the tax free exchange
    embezzled $700,000 of my clients funds along with many other individuals funds he was holding. At the present time it appears that there is no
    way this amount can be replaced by the Intermediary.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Had a similar situation with a client where the builder they chose ran away with $30,000 deposit. Left USA! Police report was filed, a demand note was made and then we did the casualty deduction.

      Also, since the 1031 failed, it will have to be reported as a sale and any tax due, paid.
