When someone like hotmark proceeds to reveal his true character, I certainly don't feel like I owe him anything. If I called out everyone who's done something >= to as bad as what I did to him, I'd have a list of like 3,000 people who "owe me something"
So the payments were to individuals who fitted within two categories... Good people & Good people who felt wronged. Fair enough, that's your call, however would it not have been better to be clearer at the time so a clear line can be distinguished and a process for payments mapped out. The friends or not comments are great an all but don't confuse the issue, they are not relevant when explaining why the payments haven't been made (assuming they haven't).
As such, your last paragraph is non-sense, reads poorly and is again irrelevant.
The problem here Brian is that you're getting emotional and defensive as (exemplified by the challenge to take on all comers) and this is clouding the waters regarding how you have dealt with this issue, or not as the case may be.
Imo, you've compounded the issue further by not answering the claims, adding subjectivity about who you owe money to, and why... and instead offered no clear
solution to the "good people who felt wronged". Come on man, surely you're better than this..?..!
Lastly, GL in your business... I mean that (I used to watch your CR video's and have remained neutral about your poker choices as I personally don't play that high) It's great that your undertaking new challenges outside of poker. However know this, business doesn't operate this way and, as a start up, you'll need to adopt a less predatory and more ethical approach to your business dealings.
