That really stinks.  It's normal to judge other people by our own standards - you're a generous honorable guy so it's not a surprise that you trusted a guy who turned out to be a lying SOB.  I had a similar experience not long ago. 
 
Ask around - anyone who knows you respects you and they'll want to help.  My prayers for a good deal.
