The job loss is irrelevant. He stole the entry fees.

Make sure you get paid first! And also kick him out of the league, then kill him.

Court system isn't hearing a case like that

Ugh.

Time to apply foot to ass. The guy is a loser.

Welp, that answers that. Seems he's living a privileged life and not trying too hard to do the right thing here. If I was out of work, I'd flip burgers for some cash until something better came up.

Tell him you need paid, you have the cash earmarked for something you bought already. He doesn't need to know your finances.

Real life info changes nothing.

I'm the commish of a league. No matter my situation, I would never steal the money of others that are trusting me with it. I'll find another solution.

He's a thief, plain and simple.

Oh, that's it. Just tell him to pay you. That's sure to work

Flop gave us new info, but life is rarely black/white. Most issues fall in the gray area.

Well I am under the impression this guy thinks he can skate by on the job loss excuse and Flop won't care or say anything. You obviously have to tell him you expect to get paid in this to start with. Are you even following along in this thread?

You don't spend money that isn't yours, bottom line. He didn't take a loan from you, he spent money that didn't belong to him. His choice and he has to face the consequences of that choice.

After hearing the evidence, this.

Agree entirely.

Hell, have him donate plasma once a week until it's paid off. The guy can do that with or without a job.

This.

Yeah, make him.
