Mr. Plaut said, “I can prove that they’ve been involved in a series of thefts.”
Rabbi Tzedek scheduled another session and instructed Mr. Plaut to bring his counter evidence.
The following week, Mr. Plaut presented three pairs of witnesses who said they had seen the two teenagers involved in theft. However, two pairs were dismissed out of hand because they were related to Mr. Plaut, and the third pair had not observed the theft firsthand.
At that point, the original witnesses stepped forward. “We admit that we were previously involved in theft,” they acknowledged, “but are willing to return what we stole.”
“I told you they are liars,” Mr. Plaut exploded. “They admit that their testimony is invalid!”
Question: I lent a sum of money to a coworker in the presence of a single witness and we later got into a dispute over the loan. What is the status of a loan made in the presence of a single witness?

Question: My friend paid me with a check that bounced. He wrote a new check that included extra money to cover the fee I incurred from depositing the check.
He mentioned that due to new banking regulations, funds that he had deposited to cover the check were not available yet.
If what he is saying is true, should I return the extra money he gave me to cover the penalty since it was not his fault? See the answer here
