You guys were talking a big game after it happened about compensating me and those you STOLE EV from, let's see if you really mean it.

At this point, you guys got basically no punishment at all other than what would have happened if you lost the bet fair and square.
Not true, not true
at all. What happened to me was brought on, directly or indirectly, by myself, but what you said was not true at all, and I've explained how I have suffered for my misdeeds, and I don't care to discuss it any more.
Regardless, the money has been sent.
I have already sent to the cancer fund, but I would like note that I feel that people in poverty deserve more attention than cancer victims. While cancer is a horrible affliction, those who are in position to receive cancer treatment have had, relatively speaking, a far more privileged life than those who are currently suffering from malnutrition and poverty. I do not believe charity should focus on improving the life and life expectancy of those who are already privileged. I mean no offense to those who have cancer or know people who are suffering from cancer, as no doubt me, being healthy, is even more so privileged, but know that there are people who are worse off even than you or them, who have at least people to stand by you as you suffer.
Enough of my beliefs: If any participants disagree to send funds to a charity, please send him his portion based on his % interest in the bet, but I would like as much of the fund to go to charity as possible.
Now that the money is in Jalex's hands, the bettors may decide as they please what to do with it.
I have stated from the start that I do not feel that the bettors really need to be compensated. To be honest there would be little consequence for me to have gone away and not done anything. In fact I would not have, but for the fact that nobody would be douchey enough to disagree to send this money to a charity (I hope) and because I think that money going to needy people is not a bad thing. I will say this again, and I stand by it: if this money goes 100% to the original bettors I would not have considered unless forced to (and I was not). I don't care if I seem disrespectful and not apologetic enough, but I don't really care to lie any more, nor do I care if those who hated me still do. I answer to my own conscience and judgment, and it told me that this was a good response to what I had done, and that is all.
Good bye everybody, and have a nice day.
