Mods, please change this deceptive title to "salty horse is looking for excuses to stiff his handlers" and move it out of here. I've never seen so little content in so many words.
OP, you're super cringe and they probably messed with you because of it, not because you're half Mexican. The only color the stables care about is green and if you burn them you will never get staked again, so think long and hard about your priorities in life.
No, I said specifically, the bait n switch only shows the shadiness. This is ofc subjective. I understand that. What is not subjective is that I had to deal with this racist who repeatedly wasted my time. In 2 hour blocks and by not either giving reloads to play sessions/ or by creating such a hostile environment I knew it would be unfeasible to approach the man to get a reload, because of the former sentence. This man has played manipulative game after game calling Mexicans lower IQ and they shouldnt be allowed in America and then you and I are to think Im not getting reloads because I'm cringe? Cringe is such a cringe word btw.
And yes you can charge me for the time, that's your choice. If we are doing business together you are more than welcome to bill me and make it retroactive.
Perhaps you have never dealt with a bank, an accountant, a tax man, credit companies?

Also why would any good player want to be staked in the first place? Just play on your dime. That's part of being a good poker player is learning how to lose and dealing with variance. And you only play MTTs? Play cash games and be a man goddamnit!!!
Cliffs: Accountant for the Three Amigos stable espouses racist views and OP as a half blood Mexican takes offense. And he thought he was being staked for 50s but had to play 30s.
Nah I've never been to jail or prison. My parents call me "The Ricky Christ" because I'm so perfect.
Accountant is white and with a strong southern accent. He claims he is former military, but when I first met him, all he said was he was a former military contractor, but then later said he served in Afghanistan/Iraq. This may or not be true, but my intuition is based on his manipulation and lies that it could be false. I have an uncle who is a Lt. General in the Army rn and I could find out today if it is or isnt, given a last name.
The baitnswitch some ppl agree others dont. What I saw was 33s w DEFINITELY one 55 being include and we will talk about the others w "bol being meh" and acr" being okay." Then when I left the other stable to join it was "ummm seems to be some divergence lets look at some more HHs" Then anything above 33s is gambling even though I was top 5 in earnings on the site at the time. Pretty clear cut risk management imo.
But again this isnt even the main point.

The money in your poker accounts must be returned. If you keep some part of it and force them to compensate you for your time, that would be theft. The money does not belong to you.
I strongly disagree. I told them several times I will not be dealing with that guy and that they were going to be charge for my time after they continue (OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR) to let this guy run rampant on other people's time and money (but only WHENEVER he felt like it). I.e; when you disagreed with his radical political/ethical ideologies (racism/bigotry).
Only after I wasted about 6 hours of my time, plus a week of playing time over the course of the past 2 weeks and I spoke with BHO ad nauseum telling him I WOULD NO LONGER be dealing with this guy, and him saying " no cant you just do reloads" yadda yadda yadda did I decide they were wasting my time and their time and enough was enough.
You decide for yourself. I've already decided.

Nobody ever said emotional trauma, so im not sure where the quotes are coming from.
Nor did anyone say get riled up.
It was the fact I literally could not play because the ******* would purposefully miss appointment times, make me wait 2 hours while listening to him espouse his superiority and the have him play his games in dms and in chat. He wasted my time and theirs. Time is money.
You call it ludicrous. I call it Justice.

No it's not okay. If you could leave that company asap without any ties, then I would. And i would've done that here on many occasions.
Glad you brought this up, because a great example came to me. Say for instance this company had a non compete clause. Then you wouldn't be able to make money doing what you do, because the *******s prevented you from earning. Is this justifiable? Should you not seek compensation?

My advice to anyone writing up a long post like this is to write the first sentence or two as an overall summary. Kind of a like a thesis statement. If you care about optimizing the % of people that will read the whole thing.
Some of your takes I have enjoyed through the years, unrelated to this. I wanted to get this out asap and therefore, put out as much info/details as i could (unfortunately as i said they scrubbed many of the dms and many of the racist remarks he made directed towards Mexicans). It was certainly not meant to be professionally written and i understand some ambiguity here.
Please check my 3rd or 4th post where I summarize everything.
Rn, they are waiting to release whatever they want to release. But they are waiting. Why do you think it is they are waiting?
An update on the situation:

But keep in mind, when they came to me, as part of the Plunge Protection Team they were singing a different tune:
https://gyazo.com/9e3f37f102fb3ac1ff268c289e3367ab
Yet, they clearly only did this to persuade me to send all monies back.. Which I told them before. I will send what is owed, but you are wasting more and more time of mine. Right now I could be doing any number of things to make money. As could you guys. Time is money and only when you begin to charge people do they start to respect your time (if they operate under materialism, but this isn't a philosophical debate).
Ofc they would, this is no surprise to me. The problem is that they shouldve taken this no bullshit approach a long time ago and it woulda saved us all time and money. They waited too late.
For anyone who thinks I want to "steal," then ask yourself this. Why would I offer to send some money back? Why would I not hit n run, like so many individuals do who are staked, when I had 13k in my accounts earlier in the year or when I had 7k+ or why didnt I siphon off money before? Why would I correct the accountant many times when he made errors?
Note on the above. Notice how Bollywood places blame on me for insulting the guy (but only after they get tilted and they realized they ****ed up and I wasnt accepting their BS apology). Like the guy didnt come take a piss on my lawn and **** on my mother before with all his racist comments before. just lol just lol bro.
