I visited the US about two months ago and told the US Skype group, of which Max/Mick/Sean/others were involved in, and we made plans to meet up. I haven't been involved very much in the poker community since starting my last semester of uni in February, and quit poker entirely in July before my trip. Mick and Sean haven't been involved extensively at all for numerous years, though they dabble a bit on Bovada.
I can't speak for both of them, but I found out Max owed a good friend of mine a decent amount for a long time. Max had made strides to pay him back, albeit giving the same ring around and guilt trip most others seem to be having, and long after getting the initial loan. While I was semi uncomfortable hanging around with Max with this knowledge, I thought Max had paid him back in full, or was making an active effort to continue doing so. It appears this was a lie. I did not know the extent of his debt, though the friend advised me of rumblings from others. With my unease of the situation and me stepping away from poker I did not try and involve myself further, which in hindsight was an error on my part.
