If the money is escrowed, and he gives up...I really don't see how this is even an issue. If people want to give him back a cut, that's their choice.
If he states that he officially calls this bet off (from the sounds of it he should), then people should be getting paid.
- Also the way he went about trying to do this was far from ideal. Going from low volume to high volume + 16 hour days over a strecth of time is a recipe for disaster.
