The only thing here I can say is nextime is to do an legal contract instead of a verbal contract between you and person you partner up with I feel very sorry for your lost of your clients in the long run you should've typed up an legal contract with terms to were you and bobby both agreed on before actually starting a partnership with him. If it was only a verbal contract you wouldn't have no way showing it in court if you were to take legal actions most likely the court will throw out your case that mostly depends on what state or country you're in. The only thing left here I can say is before doing partnership with anyone make an legal contract have both party sign make sure both party of the legal contract have witness at the time of signing including having both witness sign the contract.

I feel sorry that you were scammed that's only my little advice I can give to everyone is to remember before doing any partnership do an legal contract first not a verbal has an legal contract with signature is more proof then a verbal contract.
