The whole story is pretty funny, and these people need to go to jail.
Not on short notice necessarily for the amount. I can believe $30 an ounce, not $35, but if there were more expensive varieties it's not that far off. There is a massive shortage now and the price varies throughout the country.
It's a civil matter, not a criminal one as well. It's not enough for anyone to sue, even the winner, so good scam. Silver will hit $100 an oz, so this might be the best way to get scammed ever in poker.
