This country was built by Creditors and their laws written by Creditors. Debtors' rights, even though they have them and have received more in the last century, are not infringed by the posting of these public records. Further, my post was on topic as this thread is discussing how E-Mutt has failed to pay his debts. When people fail to pay debts the creditors usually obtain judgment and proceed to levy on whatever assets are available. In order to discover what assets are available they make use of public records. I was curious to see if E-Dogg was "sitting pretty" and just thumbing his nose at his creditors. It appears that he has hit hard times, but that's what happens when you live beyond your means in a FANTASY LAND on DREAM CATCHER AVENUE
That's a lovely narrative and all- and I agree that it's important to pay debts, indeed, that the very existence of mom, freedom and apple pie depends on it- but Lindgren is a huge degen in the poker world and it ain't exactly a secret.
He's the poker equivalent of subprime debt.
So, yes, when Mike Matusow lays off some insane sum to Ted ****ing Forrest about a weight loss prop bet, and when the inevitable happens (Forrest wins, Mike cannot pay), we can lament on poor Teds behalf over the injustice of it all, but you kinda can't help but shrug and say 'meh', whenever someone gets stiffed acting as a creditor for these kinds of degens.
Lindgren is apparently deeper than his dick in financial troubles. When the IRS has millions in liens against you, it's basically GG, life. You're on that treadmill forever. A bunch of people got in a game with him when they knew he had a history of not paying, or best case scenario, paying waaaaaaaaaaaay late and only after aggravation and now they lament?
Yeah. I weep for them about as much as I weep for the bank that kept writing $200,000 mortgages to crackhead welfare mothers, on ghetto houses that now sell for $8000. Yes, idealism about debt and 'the right thing' is fine, but implied risk is what it is.
Anyway, I hear Eskimo Clark is looking for a BI into the Daily $330. Gotta run!
