General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Desperate Need of Advice

Hello Everyone,
I am like the topic says in desperate need of advice. We purchessed our Dane Kimball from what looked to be like a good breeder. She had done all the health checks, had a solid contract, ect .. on the surface everything you would look for in a breeder.
Today in one of the dane e-mail groups i met the woman who bred the Mother of our dane. Everything is not cool! the woman we got Kimball from only co-owned his mother, did not have permission to breed him and forged Z's signature on the AKC paperwork.
She also Forged the health checks and lied about a lot more things (the mother only has 2 akc pts not 9 and the father has some temperament issues.)
Anywho come monday Z is calling the AKC and turning her in for fraud and the whole thing is going to get very ugly.
My problem is we paid a reasonable amount of money for a dane we thought was coming from very solid lines ect and he's not.
What would you do?
He's a puppy so he's lovable but we really haven't bonded all that tightly. I'd really like to return him to the breeder for a refund and use that money towards a dog from a breeder that isn't going to lie to me.
How would one go about making her do the refund tho? i sent her an e-mail tonight asking her to get back to me by monday.. If she doesn't is there anything we can do?
