Should he be reported

WHAT THE FUCK. I just typed a monster post... was proofreading... pressed backspace, and IE went crazy on me. Post draft deleted. LOL.

Ok, here's the deal - I have two main reasons for not pursuing legal action, as well as a few miscellaneous comments to follow:

Reasons*

1. My hectic life. (a) I'm buying a house and close on the 31st of this month, (b) My mom had a stroke last month, the family is recooperating, and we're helping her along the slow road of recovery, and (c) I don't work a normal job... it's not the normal 8 hr. days. It's not like I couldn't pursue action around all of these things, but if I just let it go, it's just one more thing off my plate.

2. Second chance? Maybe this is my opportunity to give someone a second chance. Let's consider for a second... the consequenses could be severe. Possible jail time? Yea, it's possible, esp. considering he tried to divert funds from my bank account. Do I really want to pull the trigger and do that to someone? He's 18. He's young, immature, and at that age, people (esp. males) do really stupid things. Maybe he's laughing that I'm giving him a second chance, maybe he doesn't understand yet, but I know that one day, he will. One day, he will realize the severity of this, and maybe be grateful that I gave him this pardon. Maybe that day will be before he starts spawning children. Maybe then, he'll be a good father and give them a good childhood, so that his kids won't do something (to this extent) when they turn 18.** (Yes, they'll still smoke weed... I really can't help that. ) I could be going on a tangent, but the point is this: his life might turn out better if I do this, so that's why I'm doing it. I'm giving him a second chance.

Miscellaneous.

1. He's lucky he made payment. It somewhat shows honesty, and to an extent, it shows remorse. (Yes, I understand it also shows that he's worried about the consequenses.) Granted, I don't have the money yet, but he did provide a tracking number, so things look good.

2. Jimmy, I think your actions are out of line. I ultimately think that the decision is mine, and it pisses me off that you're talking to Police and emailing Pokerstars about MY situation. You're talking about my information, and it's too personal, IMO. You're an asshole for getting so personal w/out my consent. And your song sucks. What do you really think you're going to accomplish without my cooperation? NONE of this is admissible at trial. If I don't testify to this, it's called hearsay. GG Rules of Evidence.

That's all I have for now. The original post was better.

*If you don't agree, I don't care.
**My legal experience tells me that all of this would amount to numerous felonies. It's hard to get a good job with that on your record, so it's entirely possible that he spends his life being a criminal to "make it."

Lou I + repped you for this last post because it explains your point of view very good. I think people (Jimmy) should of waited to read this before doing anything. I think all your reason are good ones and I agree with them, I know it dosent matter if I agree or not but I do none the less.

Jimmy I thought you were very wrong to inform the police on Lou's behalf, even though nothing you do will mean anything without Lou pressing charges. Anyway let me get off my soapbox because im not really involved in this either and its not my place to say.

[Aequitas58]

No no...

Ok: Talking about it.
Not Ok: Acting on it.

Lets get this right, I havnt informed the police on Lous behalf or to help Lou, after Lou reached his decision I personnally didnt care much of Lou.

I informed the police for myself, I informed the police that no charges would be brought by the person concerned but I wanted the police and Pokerstars to have some sort of record about what happen and by the way addmitted to a member from this forum.

Lous reaction is expected and I am not getting at him at all and feel sorry to what happened to him but he had the capability and the education and the means to get his money back,,,many many many of us wouldnt and would be in real shit with the possibility of more online attacks from this guy.

Am not frightened to say publically 'LOU I AM SORRY IF I HAVE UPSET YOU' but we have to be protected and allthough your desicion looks like it has ended this bad experience you honestly knew it was going to upset a few mwmbers.

I think this thread has said it all, and the case should be put to bed unless someone else has something to say.



PS- I know the song is shit, I asked my Mother and she didnt know it was me and said exactley the same, now theres one person I never argue with.
