I mean, even the initial staking deal, was a huge deal with huge buy ins like high roller events and any MTT that ran online. Bryn made that deal KNOWING that he was going broke and couldn't sustain it unless someone won huge. He was fully aware of the possibly that he'd have to **** me over from the very start, and actively mislead me about the nature of our deal and his financial situation. The guy didn't care what I played, he just wanted people to gamble gamble and NEEDED them to win. In doing so he got my SCOOP and 2 wks WSOP action as well as various online play. I was 40 players at one point from winning him hundreds of thousands. This was just really, really bad.
I'm certainly NOT saying I didn't make mistakes. Busting my roll was dumb, and I paid for it. The choice of spitting on Bryn was dumb. I'm nowhere near perfect, but I'm not the villain here either.
I still have no idea about the timeline leading up to these events, since everyone seems to be guiding it towards the parts that look most favorably on them and dodging the tricky parts.
From what his 'crew' is saying, it sounds like there was some understanding between you and him over what not to do (relating to cash games).
And it sounds like, because you were up initially and he didnt get pissed off at you for that, that you took it as an invitation/acceptance to play big cash games which you blew through really quick... under circumstances that he might consider illegitimate.
It's impossible to tell what that understanding was and if, or how badly you violated his trust by doing it. There are extremes on both ends where both of you would be all right, all wrong, and a lot of grey area in between where you both end up looking like semi-douches.
