unless that was settled and I missed it, he deserves some discussion in this thread.
(and I will immediately start talking about Kirk again, lol) It seems to me that Kirk was threatened or something. I mean, 3 mil, 2 mil, 2 mil plus a mil vs mil freeze out and then suddenly he only gets paid 1 mil?? That makes entirely no sense to me. Either that, or they settled it without telling anyone and used the million as their public story?
I have no knowledge that no-one else has so i'm purely speculating....
Suppose leon wasn't expecting a deal, then gets offered $2m+$1m HU (Rob claims he suggested it before Leon ever woke up and seems entirely believable) Leon comes down, gets offered the deal, accepts and thinks it's done. Then 20 mins later gets told the deal is off (quite annoying, speshly when you're hungover and just dusted $3m) so you dig a bit deeper and find out the guy you lost $3m to the night before was staked by an owner of the casino you were playing in...
Now not saying that would ever justify not paying any of the debt, however, you can sympathise a little with how they would make you feel slightly mugged off.
