The roommate wants to stay but claims that he paid the majority of the bills in exchange for the Security Deposit paid by the roommate who moved out.  

I dont want them exchanging contact info and me get excluded?

-BiggerPockets is a great medium for BiggerPockets members who are also real estate investors who also use Google Voice to network and exchange ideas on a tool like Google Voice that they use.Hopefully, that sheds some light on your three concerns :)

Such a joint venture would need to be very rigid in nature, and there could be no transactions or exchange of benefit between either party.Both parties would need to purchase an asset jointly on day one.  

If you haven't already gotten in touch with a Qualified Intermediary, you may be too late for a 1031 anyway - you can't take any proceeds from the sale of the property or the 1031 is void.

Exactly what is it you are going to exchange?

As for me, I had a pretty specific set of financial parameters, since I was doing a 1031 exchange.

In any case, we agreed to break the lease in exchange for forfeiting the security deposit.

I think inflation will still remain high in Argentina and the peso will continue to deval in the next few years...but, with the upcoming elections in the fall, many are predicting the release of many currency restrictions which prevent firms and individuals from exchanging local currency for USD and remitting back to the states.
