I don't have any questions. I have said a zillion times that I am not judging who owes who what. I am here to talk about how disgusting and absurd this post is. If you actually pay attention to what you are reading in the OP it's painfully clear that this isn't a scam. It's clear Zach was in the wrong at some point, but it never came close to rising to the level of scam or stealing, and no lies were ever told. In fact, you can read the transcript and clearly see zach was overly honest in many cases.
The OP and responses are just classic internet insanity of one person giving limited info (though still enough info to exonerate), and having idiots who think they know everything about everything scream and hate and berate.
Except here they have damaged the reputation of a *very* good person. Tomas knew what was going to happen when he made this post. Posting this is way more terrible a thing to do than anything Zach did at any point. Even if he paid now, it wouldn't repair his reputation. So I think it's more than fair for Zach to keep the money, since Tomas's absurd retribution can't be undone.
