All future employers deserve to know what he is capable of. A felony is perfectly appropriate justice for what he did. People can bounce back from mistakes, and that is why you get released from prison to go back into society. Employers deserve to know that he stole 300k, and it is really infuriating that you believe that he shouldn't have a criminal record for that. Very dissapointing.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve that and I wouldn't blame anyone for pressing charges for their losses. I guess I'm playing devils advocate and saying that voluntarily signing up for a future where your employment opportunities are next to nill is something no sane person would do. If you've fallen victim to his fraud, feel free to go to the authorities. I'm 100% positive at least 1 person in this thread already has.

Of course nobody would ever WANT to turn themselves in and voluntarily get a felony charge and a multiple year prison sentence. So what is your point? That nobody would ever want to do that? We know that already. You don't need to point that out to anyone.

I think you've missed some posters saying he should turn himself in. I was responding to that. So obviously I did need to point that out to SOMEONE.

and them some ******s chime in with reasons why the guy who stole $280,000 from poker players shouldn't turn himself in to the police.

I disagree. $20 per week will add up, over time. And it's manageable. And it shows it's coming from other things, not more gambling, not trying to make it all back with one big score. So it will take him years to pay people back, but what are his other options? I doubt Wall St is hiring with his background and experience (although actually they are bigger scammers than he, but that's for another thread)...

The proof will be in the pudding. Will he continue to pay, as he is promising? But I'm not sure what else you guys want from him. He made a terrible mistake, and now he seems to be trying to make it right, the best way he can. What else can he do? What does going to jail solve? It's certainly not going to get people their money back faster, that's for sure...

Good luck to you, OP. Hope you are serious about your new outlook on life. You screwed up in a big way, but we all make mistakes. It's what we do about them that matters.

You are wrong and wrong.

You don't think he should turn himself in why? Because it would ruin his life? Good. He deserves to have his life ruined.

The right thing to do would be to turn himself in. That is what he SHOULD do. That is the right thing to do.

Obviously it is against his self interest to do so. You don't need to point that out to anyone. What are you accomplishing by telling people that it is against his self interest to do so? Everyone knows its against his self interest to turn himself in. Nobody would argue otherwise. Nobody really cares about his self interest though.

Once again, I remind you:
Your "devil's advocate" serves no purpose and isn't necessary.

Put it this way; If OP came onto this forum and confessed to breaking into the properties of 20 poker players and stealing multiple six figures in cash, would be appropriate for him to hand himself in to the police? Or would it be acceptable for him to walk free trying to make it up to everyone (in between posting in the forums, picking pomegranates in the sun and singing in church) ?

I cannot honor your request at this time because you are the one being delusIonal. I'm sorry for what I've done but I can't respect your contradiction.

How is $20/week a slap in the face, I'm working legally now but before I had plans to pay by growing weed. I was offered $300k a month for 200lbs/month @ $1500/unit. ($1875/HR Full Time). I got the investment and got picked up on my warrant ( I was on the run) halfway through the flowering cycle and this guy only gives one chance. I know I'm worth way more than that. I feel I'm worth over 1.5M a month. This $300k well be a drop in the bucket. I'll sacrifice my whole income to my victims. I just ask you think long and hard before you post again and don't be so hasty. I don't think you see the big picture here, only the $8k I took from you.

Have a nice day.

You almost had me fooled...

Playing the devils advocate is rarely popular. I guess apart of me can't root for someones life to be essentially over at such a young age. But what he did is obviously reprehensible. If the victims pressed charges and he got arrested I would certainly understand.

If Bernie Madoff created this thread, before he was arrested, would you guys still be arguing that he should be free? Is the fact that the money stolen is only $300,000 compared to multiple billions altering your judgement?

If Bernie Madoff was a capable investor who was able to generate billion dollar profits running a legitimate investment company with the profits to be repaid to victims, should he have not been sent to jail?

Dude you seem hellbent on ruining your life. You want to help alleviate the felonies you committed by committing even more felonies. Are you ****ing stupid? Dude maybe you do need to go to prison for a while.

You're a Wise man, thanks.


~Hero~

what if its all a scam to make you think hes paying it in order to make an even bigger scam.

A guy who stole $300,000 is now asking to mods to temp ban someone because he is taking away from his victims.

This has to be the best troll job I have ever seen. He fooled me for a bit.

Does anyone know this guy in real life and can confirm this is him posting?

I don't think he's trolling dude. I think we're dealing with an unstable individual who may have a mental illness.

Agreed. Now he's deleting posts, signing himself off as "~Hero~", all while claiming he's "worth over $1.5M per month"?

WTF? Feel so bad for all who were affected by this scammer. Hope at least some of you see some money returned.

How does a single man earn in excess of $20k a year and still qualify for foodstamps?

+1

A close source say's that if he makes over 20k in the state of PA he wouldn't qualify for food stamps. Not sure what states he lives in, but all the states are the same because it's a federal program. Unless he gets paid under the table.

What contradiction do you speak of?

Either he is a troll or we gonna find him and he's going to prison. That is all.

Yikes

Take this jizzbag down, yb!
