"Making mistakes" as you put it is a completely different situation. He lost this money on multiple nights, in multiple sessions. He then lied to multiple people about how things were going (as far as I can tell in between losing all the money) On top of all this, he also admitted to playing tournaments when he knew he was not playing optimally, which is even more tilting. When I give someone money to play, I expect that they will not register for tournaments if they aren't feeling/playing 100%.
I just don't understand why you expect his investors to have so much compassion. Screwing up is one thing, but dishonesty is a totally different situation whether you own up to it after-the-fact or not.
You have mistaken some of my points which I thought I have clearly pointed (Probably not clear enough)
1. I am SURPRISED about how generous some of his investors are, which I don't expect people to be doing so these days
2. The time that he posts here is the moment that I don't think people should keep giving him a hard time. He has admitted that he made mistakes. If any investors are still angry and keep blaming on how dishonest he was, I can totally understand, but would that achieve anything?
When these things have already been done, I can't think of a better solution than this
He has no money right now, besides finding a job, what else can he do to pay you guys back?
3. I think the key point comes to either you are going to forgive what he did or not, if not, I think it might be the best to go to talk to polices. I just don't think it makes any sense to say something like "I don't accept the time frame you plan to pay me back, I want it sooner" when every of us knows that this young man has no other options right now
