Robbed by friend. WTF - Page 3

ppl are weird when i comes to money, someone who i went to school with and now play poker with a couple times every week needed a stake once. I staked him for $1k, which was 1/5 of my roll at the time, he ran like shit and lost it. When i checked his transfer history he had withdrawn the last $250 x.x
losing 20k is obviously worse, but the principle of receiving a favour and then backstabbing seems to be a recurring theme when it comes to money.

Is the is the same Soah that is a mod at 2+2? Because someone should crosspost if it is.

I really don't understand these people.... wow

I owe someone significant money for the first time in my life and I'll be damned if I don't pay it back one way or another.

WTF PEOPLE IMO.

Call his parents and let them know their son is a scumbag, and to just leave him to the kidnappers next time. Seriously though, let them know. Maybe he'll get kicked out and have to grow up? Or maybe since he's still at home his parents will boot stomp him into paying you back or something.

can some1 share what this kidnap thing was about? cant find anything thru the search function

i dont know him at all but from reading this i doubt it was a long time con (he would have got staked by more pple who knew him on lp b4 disappearing? so he at least was half serious about the stake) but more of a very very unfortunate series of events that led to/changed a otherwise decent guy into this.

ie kidnap?! -> no cash irl -> desperate -> tries to make money to get it back -> downswing -> tilt -> spew -> bye

I've already been in email contact with his father and eventually ended up explaining the full story to him and even sending msn logs. He's been nice to me and sympathetic but from as far as i can see seems to have not done a whole lot to help make right the situation

sad that someone you knew relatively well cut and run on you, id seek revenge by getting personal details and sending letters around his home town and specifically to his parents letting them know what hes done, put the boy to shame.

you may be jumping to conclusion though, he may be being held captive by some mexican kidnappers tbf and as such is unavilable to talk on msn or get to his phone.

since u and him were tight u shld never have let him offer u that free money 4k extra deal and just given him the loan free as a favour - which is what u intially wanted to do. 4k in a month sounds like alot of added pressure and like some1 pointed out the currceny thing would have been 10 billion times cheaper, interest didnt make sense!

getting owned after you help someone really sucks and i hope u get ur money back

So you dont think his parents will cover your loss? I guess they are rich since everybody says 20k isnt a lot for soah.

This is why I try REALLY hard to avoid giving anyone money, especially friends. I've actually never loaned anyone money that I wouldn't be ok with losing. I usually won't even loan someone money, if a friend needs money and I feel they deserve it, I tend to just give it to them with no repayment plan in place and they can repay if they feel like it or help me out in other ways in the future. I just hate being owed money. I never trust that people will pay it back.

Sorry to hear that this happened to you. It really has to be shitty on so many different levels.

damn this is sad to hear. it's like soah was kind of hated, but then he totally redeemed himself and made everyone feel guilty, now everyone's confused what to think of him...the guy knows METAGAME obv

Thats really fucked up from his side. It's really sad that someone would place money ahead of a friend. Really hope the situation gets resolved for you Ket.

Sad news
hope you find out whats going on
cant trust many people with that large amount of money

Heh if i would have to place a bet on who would be the last person on earth to be scammed, id probably name you Ket ... But it looks like you value friendship and once your guard was down you didnt see the hit coming. But seriously dont let him go away with it that easily.

Sick to hear this.. but well .. this is Poker and its about $$$ so there are such cases and will ever be :/ ul it hits you, i hope you clear this up soon!

fuck that sucks so much, sorry =[

33 days, 18 hours, 31 minutes, and 11 seconds until the next season of Top Gear starts on June 21st


this might help bring your spirits up.

probably what saki said. guy probably lost/tilted away and decided to screw you big time.

fucking pathetic.

hope you get your money back, one way or another.

i cant seem to find a forum he mods but wasn't he an orange super-mod on 2p2? dramabomb it there maybe? he may have been de-modded though because i can't find him anywhere

Are you sure that was the same guy BJ? I know who you're talking about but always thought it was a diff;. person, if it is indeed him i agree drama bomb 2p2.

imo he wanted to scam you from the begining...thats why he offered you such big interest, he knew u are goin to take easier such a good loan and he never wanted to repay it.
maybe that mofo is on drugs or in some serious gambling debts or other shit. you wont see your money i guess. let that bastard beat up from some tough guys.
