Fail donation - MI_turtle

Hello xxx,

Thank you for participating in WBCOOP 2010 - we hope you enjoyed the experience!

This is just a quick email to inform you that you have been credited $1.58 from the player 'MI_Turtle'. He kindly offered to share $1000 amongst all the players that outlasted him in the WBCOOP Main Event. His final finishing position of 635th place meant the $1000 was divided between the top 634 players.

If you have any questions regarding this unusual prize, please let us know.

Regards,

The WBCOOP Team


Thanks, but idk you should've better spend it on 'Haiti Earthquake Relief - $1000 donation imo.

Yes, giving the money to Haiti would've been good. For all we know, maybe he gave more than that to Haiti. I am mildly curious what the story behind this is and whether there was a different prop bet involved.

Re: Fail donation - MI_turtle

Everyone hating on Nick atm... why? For what reason?

If someone wants to give away money, let them. wtf.

I don't know him personally but I have listened to his interviews and he comes across as a dece guy, albeit a touch arrogant. But so am I.

If he has an ulterior motive behind the donation, so what. That's his business.
