CIA has more resources, but MI5 has far better people and training.

I'd never consider for a second touching an escrow. Shame most people aren't that way.

How is 2p2 a bunch of spook experts all of a sudden.

hypothetically if they build the wall, won't they need to vastly expand guest visa programs, which will likely be better for migrants?

So you get a wall (debt) more rights for immigrants, the same amount of drugs?

And once you have the wall, will America be great again?

if the goal is to just trade illegal immigrants for guest workers, why build the wall? why not just offer that up?

I'm with you. I escrow all bets on here over a couple hundred bucks mainly because I have trust issues and I don't expect anyone to know me well enough to trust me. The problem is that finding an escrow is not that easy. I guess I'll cross you off of my list of potential escrows.

I never thought of the dispute issue before. I guess it depends on the nature of the bet, but I suppose disputes can arise even with the simplest of bets.

RIght, that's the thing. Even if Mitch kills the new version in the senate it will be obvious who's ****ing around here.

I guess it depends on what you mean by touch. If I had an escrow for 10K for years, I'd don't think it would be wrong to stick in in a high yield savings account and keep the interest.

I guess if the bank went belly up, I'd replace the 10K myself and collect on the FDIC insurance whenever that comes in. I'm comfortable accepting that tiny risk.

After all, I have to keep it somewhere, so I might as well do that. As far as safety goes, it doesn't get a whole lot better than that.

Lol at people who voted for a literal Russian Agent in Stein over a buffoon puppet Trump. Way to read people bozos who voted for either of them.

If I have a trust issue, it's that I trust too much. I don't think it's an issue though. I prefer over-trusting generally and leave **** in the back of my truck and there are lots of people irl I'd leave a blank check with, but 2p2 took $4k already and that's my 2p2/internet person I've never met limit.

And I might escrow for a commission, but 2p2 mediator is not a position I aspire to, so it's not something I'd volunteer for. I'm not trying to shirk gambling community solidarity. I'm an Anarchist and we're all about that. I'll come help raise your barn if that's what you want, but let some ballers do the $10k escrows.

I don't know, man. Just about everyone has already picked a side. For deplorables, it literally doesn't matter what happens, Trump is not to blame. Even if he explicitly accepts responsibility, as he has already done.

Basically, it should be obvious already and making it more obvious is likely to change things for only a very tiny fraction of the electorate.

I'll escrow any amount for any bet with no fee and a sincere promise to post pics of whatever I spend the escrowed money on.

Escrow adds a second way the bet can go wrong. I'd rather just risk one way.

I'm not sure I follow. In both cases there are two ways the bet can go wrong:

1. You lose
2. You win and don't get paid.

Escrow or no escrow doesn't change anything. All that changes is who doesn't pay you when they should.

Well it makes it more tempting for the escrow holder to pull a TomVeil since they hold both bets.

Ok, I guess you just phrased it weirdly initially.

I guess I'd say that there are two ways in both cases, but with escrow #2 is worse.

Has there been any back and forth other than:

Trump: I want $5B for my wall.

Democrats: No.

I feel like Democrats are missing an opportunity to throw stuff out there like ok - DACA for $5B for your wall. Or restore all the Obama consumer protections and un**** the ACA. Things they know Trump will never do, but still will get great press and highlight all the crap Trump and this congress has destroyed the last 2 years. Throw out a new one every day. Dominate the news cycle with it until Trump cries uncle.

Would pay to read a retrospective of 2+2 scammers with some "where are they now?" updates.

All time winner has to be the guy who faked cancer, raised money then lost it at online poker.

Actually tell you what, if everyone here wires me $100 I'll write one.

Vaguely rings bells. Got a link?

There was that Cornell Fiji guy who spent a ton of time exposing other scammers and then degened away someone else's money himself. I've often wondered whether people who are obsessed with exposing the moral failings of others - in this and other domains - are more likely to have that failing themselves. Like how those who are obsessed with the sexual mores of others frequently turn out to be perverts.

Aka TheBayAreaBeast. Sone of Admo's best work.

Wasn't Futuredoc the cancer scammer?

It links to the 450-page OOT thread. OOT is a weird place.

This guy degened away an escrow. He eventually paid everyone back and is now a 2p2 reg under a different name He blew it all on HU SNGs. Or maybe it was the other guy who blew it on SNGs. Ironic that sickgambker's user note about him being a scammer was written by Cornell Fiji
