I received a small stake back in '04 I think. It went fine until a personal tragedy side-tracked me from playing and I did fall out of communication for a few weeks. During this time I didnt' play, but had already paid back a portion of the money that was staked per our arrangement. When I got myself sorted out and got back online literally the first thing I did was apologize and send people back their money.
I never played outside of the structure of the stake and the money was always sitting in my account I was just going through a lot and didn't follow through as I should have. I'm not proud of the way I handled it and it was certainly a learning experience. I also paid people back 100% even though I was down on the stake and ate the transaction fees. One of my backers also provided my rakeback and he fell out of communication with me and kept 10x the stake amount in rakeback owed.
I'm not going to publicly out the names but I believe at least 2 of the 3 people who backed me still post here and I can provide their names to any potential backers.
