Amen.

Quality trolling, I'm impressed

Why are you so emotionally invested in this, Crane? Just curious.

Sounds to me like Admo tried to set up something reasonable. This isn't an average 20-something-y.o.; it's a 20-something-y.o. that plays poker at stakes where there's a (nice) Mercedes or more on the table at all times. Clearly SW couldn't get a job at McDonalds and pay off the 30k right away, but he could have at least admitted his mistakes and tried to set up (AND STICK TO) some sort of payment plan. Admo seemed willing to work something out.

And it's not like this was a 30-year mortgage that Admo all of a sudden was like "sorry, due now". It was a swap that was supposed to be done in 24 hours.

I agree that Admo is fortunate that he received the 30k - GIVEN the way the situation had been playing out - but it did cost Admo time and money to get his 30k back, and I think it's on SW to make that right.

That said, if I were in Admo's shoes, I wouldn't spend much more money chasing the extra 4.5k. Take him to civil court if you want to (which is cheap); I'm actually interested to see how that aspect plays out.

Best of luck to Admo in this crappy situation, and best of luck to SW turning his life around. It will be an uphill battle, though, especially since it doesn't look he learned anything from this situation.

Wow, really bad post

$4k+ in legal fees for this, and I thought Skadden Arps were expensive lawyers

Looks like admo took a nuclear bomb to a battle he could have won with 2 - F18s

Can we not lock this freaking thread already?

Hero got his money back (may be out some incidental expenses, but whatever, call it a stupid-tax for trusting a degen gambler).

Villain got his name dragged through the mud and this will pop up everytime someone googles the guys name forever. Nobody's going to read 250posts in to find out that the issue was resolved. In all fairness, the fact that it was resolved should be reflected in the thread title.

Enough already. Let it die and fall off Page One of NVG to make room for more Busto threads.

I believe Admo uses Dewey, Cheatum & Howe.

nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. YaaaaaNEEEE

What is all this "gotta lock this thread" crap. It pops up in every goddamn thread on this site that goes more than a 100 posts. Why is it so important to lock threads? Is the Smithsonian waiting to add them to their archives?

Christ! "Guys, lock this one now; guys thread ran its course lock it now, etc., etc." How do you know the thread ran its course? If the thread did run its course, why is it necessary to lock it? Why would you be so goddamn concerned that you have to post an urgent message demanding the thread be locked?

Yet another thread that has been infected with terrible, misleading, and at times factually incorrect posts by Skalansky.

SHOCKING

+1

Hate tards that start shouting 'omg lock the thread' as if it's an affront to their religion or something that a thread keeps going for a while.

+2 Issue not resolved yet anyway.

just one slight detail sir but how exactly is CF going to get ADMO to remove the launch of SWIAT site due to launch in
22 days 7 hours and 36 min sir???

From Elements of Style (emphasis mine):

The habitual use of the active voice, however, makes for forcible writing. This is true not only in narrative principally concerned with action, but in writing of any kind. Many a tame sentence of description or exposition can be made lively and emphatic by substituting a transitive in the active voice for some such perfunctory expression as there is, or could be heard.

exactly

CF- after properly accounting for the debt of gratitude owed to you, it looks like things will be even if you give Admo roughly $4450.

thanks.

I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe that Admo's lawyer would tell him that posting three sentences after receiving the money could be construed as harassment.

"CF paid me back the original $30K today. I will be in discussion with him to recover the $4500 in lawyer's fees I have accrued trying to get that money. I cannot post here anymore on recommendation from said lawyer."

Or he could have told someone else and they could have posted that the money was returned.

Not doing so is bad form, I think, and does not reflect well on Admo.

What law school did you go to?

Lol, it might be that people need to type something lest there finger muscles and brains atrophy fully, but that's just one hypothesis.

Oh come on! Let it die already! That's it, lock the thread!

Your ******ed.

Wow, you really are a tool, arent you? Admo is LUCKY??? You gotta be kidding me. Please tell me this is a level. Steve is LUCKY his *ss isnt sitting in the county lock up on felony charges. THATS who is lucky. Steve needs to pay every cent back.

This attitude is prevalent today. I suppose your bank is lucky they get your car payment too. Or your mortgage company gets your mortgage payment. wow... Maybe this is one of Steve's aliases because it almost mirrors his attitude. Moderators, check the IP on this one. F$%^& sake.

Personally, I as I'm sure many others here, should Admo go civil for his legal fees, would love to see this on a Judge Judy type show.



I betcha they'd jump on it in a heartbeat, if only for the ratings.

Surely you are not trying to encourage the lawyers from renewing their discussion!

I was just expressing my opinion. And here is another.

I think if Admo's lawyer was really worried about CF claiming harrassment, then waiting a week and a half to post here that he received the money is essentially harrassment by proxy, given the nature of some of the posts.

WTF are you talking about? I grew up in Texas. Please stop talking as if modern Texans are old west caricatures.
