Agree
I have lost my whole roll due to pits and highstakes nonsense several times, but never lost a sinlge cent of investors, or more than I had in cash at home when I was backed for online MTT's (he knows what I did and do. We trust and respect one another)
There is a huge difference between being a degen, and being an irresponsibale degen. I mean, there are even many people using hard drugs recreationally that you just don't ever hear of due to their superior position in life, and/or the market... No reason to believe that most people selling on here would ever do bogus with other people's money.
Google conformation bias, and think of 2+2's wall of scamming context... guess what.. 1000 scammers likely have 50k honest guys - degen or not - to balance them, as opposition.
I myself once had to let investors wait for 3 weeks, because police accused me of money laundering, and then I lost my 2+2 account for forum-tilting... I cleared that **** with the police, got a new 2+2 account, then paid everyone plus a few $ on top for the inconvenience. Unexpected **** can hti aqnyone, and it may result in invesotrs not getting funds more weeks/months... why do you think that you get 50% of a players ROI for your investment? Because **** can happen beyond suck-outs at the tables...
Stupid thing is, I didn't even follow this thread cosely, but will catch up soon.
