These comments are not directed at you, thecortser (just using your quote)...
Qualifying statement about this post-I hope I am wrong and these are my assumptions based on what has gone on here and in the past and what I have heard from people involved with Nick and formerly involved with Nick.
This is obvious to most but I figured I would say it anyways. If Nick's "emergency" story (unless it was a robbery) were likely true, then cash or a PayPal transfer, wire transfer, Western Union/MoneyGram, eCheck, branch deposit into a bank account, etc. could have easily been taken care of over a week ago so it seems obvious he is "working on" raising funds through selling his stuff and coaching and it strongly appears like he no longer has the funds given to him and he used them for something else. I just hope people don't forget this when he makes up more excuses like he has in the past (or will you finally tell the truth, Nick?).
Nick,
Hopefully you have learned your lesson this time. You have received funds from investors for other major tournaments, too, like the PCA that you did not play in and many of your investors had to wait for their money then, too because you claimed PokerStars would not give it to you. Maybe that was true (but now I am not so sure) or did you do the same thing but you just got caught this time?
I sincerely hope you will "work on" getting that last ~$2100 to the Children's Hospital of Oakland, too. In addition, I hope you "work on" paying back Bodeye, Aaron Hill, Josh T., Paul K. (and his friends), other former students (and they are out there), the IRS, other 2+2'ers, and everyone else that I haven't heard of. There is nothing wrong with debt but the way you incur yours is way different than most.
Best of luck to everyone and I hope everyone pays attention this time.
