Well, then your definition of stealing is different than mine. You don't have to literally put your hands in my pocket in order to rob me ya know.

"He stakes a couple of strong players, but nobody knows exactly who they are because all of his deals are kept secret (presumably so he can avoid everyone hitting him up for money but I'm not exactly sure of the real reason)."

Well, now he is finding out the downside of keeping staking deals secret.

I'd stay out of it, you don't "know" there's a problem, and your motivation is weak.

That's pretty vindictive.

David was already planning on terminating Aaron's deal in the near future but now he is going to do it immediately.
I'm no staking expert but this seems ridiculous. "Hey I know you won a bunch of money and didn't share it with me so now our deal is officially over so you never have to share it with me"?

If David wants his money, he keeps his mouth shut until he has more leverage than Pretty Please With Sugar On Top.

If David wants to be vindictive, I guess terminating the deal gives him the opportunity to tell Aaron off.

Aaron just sold your friendship for $20k.

Seems like David can terminate deal without accusing Aaron of being a thief and still get his money. Thete are a thousand other reasons he can give for wanting to end the arrangement. And just because Aaron was able to (he thought) secretly skim profits doesn't mean he'd be willing to blatantly steal the bankroll. And if that's the case, David would never get money back anyway.

I think OP made right decision fwiw, although I think he should have done so as soon as Aaron first said "don't tell David" as that indicates to me that something underhanded was going on. I mean I think he should have talked to Aaron first to see if there was some innocent explanation, but if you have an opportunity to prevent a crime, I think you should generally take it, even if it means losing a friend. Who needs friends like that anyway?
