There might be a cool story to it, but it's far more likely that it's just the "standard" thing.
Game centers around a degen, he runs out of money and looks for somebody to borrow from. One guy tells his acquaintances in the game that he could do it and they are like "go for it, I know he's totally good for it, don't worry". Guy gives the degen money so the game keeps running and at first everybody benefits from it, except for the degen. In the end, after the guy doesn't get his cash back, his acquaintances are like "sorry bro, tough luck. didn't think that would happen".
