Not to dare get this thread back on topic and make it worth more than absolutely nothing (I think New Guy and eejit are competing to see who can make the most useless 1 liner posts - and yes, eejit is winning (by a LOT)) - but we're down to three players right now, and it's shaping up to be a Boyd/Hachem final.
Maybe if Dutch wins some nice $$, he'll start paying back all the people he owes money. Yeah, I doubt it too, but you never know. He's guaranteed $150k right now, and will all but surely scoop at least a quarter mil, or maybe even almost a half. |

I really don't want to argue about this, but Dutch wasn't the one who stole the money so why should he be responsible to pay anything back?

If you don't want to argue about this, why would you make this post?
Let's put it this way.... if I convinced you to invest $1000 with me (or if I lost a $1000 sports bet with you, for that matter), when it came time for me to pay you back and I couldn't - because someone stole the $1000 from me - are you seriously trying to tell me that you wouldn't look at it as me owing you $1000 any more??? I mean, if I told you I was on my way to pay you and I got mugged, would you really shrug it off and tell me you'll just collect from the mugger instead? Um... yeah, I don't think so. And I'm not even throwing in all sorts of other things into the analogy, like me telling you I didn't get mugged and that I still have the money and that it's ok for other people to keep investing with me and so on and so forth. Don't get me wrong - I like Dutch. He's been nothing but cool to me. But while he may or may not be legally liable for paying back the missing money, I think it would be awfully nice of him to try (as he once said he would do). It's just the right thing to do. |

Fair enough.

I think this is a fine example of what pshabi was talking about.
But hey, at least the thread is off topic again! |
