When a rich friend gives you a no-interest indefinite term loan, is it immoral to avoid paying it until you are asked to? I supect that posters in this thread would have a wide range of answers to this question. Many people with half a brain would consider it stupid to pay off a no-interest loan before it was due. When is an on-demand loan due? When the creditor asks for payment. There is no evidence that FTP asked Barry for payment before BF.

Anyone with more than half a brain might have decided to wait until the dust settled.
After the amended complaint, anybody with more than half a brain would have decided to hold off on paying until the legal ownersip of assets was resolved.
Why would he pay GBT now? GBT isn't the owner of the debt, yet. If he pays GBT before the deal goes through, legally he'll still owe the full amount to FTP. Once the DoJ gets forfeiture of FTP's assets, he'll owe that money to the government. In the unlikely event that the government loses their case, he won't owe it to the government or GBT.
