Doesn't seem comparable to me since that equipment is used to break speeding laws. And if these cats that Flop used are operating illegally, taking in a lot of money, they'll have to reimburse any money paid in anyway.

There are lawsuits being taken up on other Fantasy Leagues demanding reimbursement to their clients. For different reasons but it's still a lawsuit.

Here's one:

I was furious. I went to the police station to report the theft and the damage to my property. They asked what was stolen. I said "my radar detector".

They weren't very helpful after that. I suspect the amount of help given in this situation would be the same. They'll just say "Get the **** out of here".

What on earth does DraftKings have to do with this?

Flop is part of the Branson Mafia. Not sure he wants to go anywhere near a police station or legal system.

If so, there's you answer right there. Alcoholics will always spend money on alcohol first. We had some renters -- 'friends" -- who got behind on rent. one month, then two, then three. Then they paid half a month, then were four months behind. I was not near the house otherwise I would've paid them a visit.

Once we evicted them I went to the house. The number of booze, wine and beer bottles filled three large trash bins, with some left over. the place had so many empty bottles in the laundry room it looked like a fricken carnival ring toss game.

No leniency otherwise you're just enabling.
But i'd be supportive. Sounds like he does need help. Help him help you.

I'm in 2 Fantasy Football leagues this year, both a $100 buy in. A 12 team league that Pest is the commish of, I'm about to win for an $800 payday. The other is an 8 team work league where 1st place is $500. Unbelievably, I'm about to pull off the upset of the year and win that one as well.

Problem is, the commissioner lost his job with us and doesn't have the money to pay me. He's not a violent, fighting type of individual. Kicking his ass won't print money, but would probably motivate him to sell his PS4, and other shit off to get me paid. Would you do it? I'm really not inclined too, but there is a principle behind this so I am genuinely considering leaning on him to motivate him to get me paid.

The fact is, if it were me under no circumstances would I spend the money if I were the commish. At all. And everyone already tells me I'm too nice. The thing is, I really don't need the money, but could definitely use it, and if the roles were reversed I'd hope someone would show me some grace. While I wouldn't expect it too happen, I really do believe you should be the change you wish to see in the world. I'm pretty conflicted here. Genuinely. What would you do?

Yeah, you're right. I'm ****ing pissed he's putting me in this position. I've already gotten 4 texts in the last hour or so from coworkers who have seen I'm going to win this thing and offered to come with me to pay him a visit. I'm going to send him a text explaining that he's going to have to find a solution and get us paid, and that if he doesn't come see us, we're coming to see him. Poor ****er. ****.

Don't escalate it. He may run or get sketchy. Be firm but supportive. See how it goes. At least he was upfront about telling you he doesn't have the money.
