Wim,

Did you ever check into getting the money you paid in back? I believe that if you paid into a retirement plan and did not get vested, you may be entitled to a lump sum payout of the the money paid in and possibly interest. I am not sure about that, but it might be worth checking out... I know that that's the deal at San Francisco State where I work...
