>lending large sums of money to friends
congrats OP you discovered how to ruin friendships, you fucked up big time. NEVER do that shit again, yes you lost that friend, likely he wont pay the only way to make him pay is to lawyer up and put him on sue or somehting.
unless literally you gave that money outta pocket in cash and all that. idk talk it with your lawyer, might be worth it to get paid back, but yes that friend is gone. Shoulda never i dont care how good he was with you before, but shoulda never given that amount of money. with homies at most you give idk 500 bucks when hyper generous. usually 100 bucks, 50 bucks, etc.
1k and above? fuck no. Thats almost on ruining friendship dynamic amounts. 10k? 20k? its fucking over.
