With proof of what was promised for the money being given over...that would probably seal it up pretty good. There's various ways to try to weasel out of things in court, but there'd be a good basis for some kind of fraud really.

I remember that couple and the homeless guy who ran that gofundme scam...where the money was supposed to go to him over a phony feel good story but instead all 3 split it up. The scam unraveled when the homeless dude felt he wasn't getting enough dough from them and so sued them for it, which made for an investigation.
Ha, that actually happened not too far from me. Turned out yeah the 3 of them were in on it, they screwed themselves by fighting within their own scheme/scam. I guess greed won at the end of the day there. lol Ironic.

Well not born a female. gllty is trans. But yeah gender or so forth made no diff to the hammer coming down.
Oh... right... yeah not even going to get into that then lol. But yes I agree I think in a case like that the same hammer needs to come down regardless of the whole gender, orientation, etc, etc

As a lawyer who isn't from the US, let me say that in most countries I've had experience in, this in fact IS illegal, and I'd be amazed if it were any different in America. It's the literal definition of fraud...then again, so were Tom's Injustice 1 exploits with pre-patch Aquaman.
what exploits?

What if tom is legit?
He did forge the uber but he says it was in fear of being called out on not having it.

Could it be possible?
 
I'd be quite inclined to believe someone if they said they threw away a receipt. Especially for something as inconsequential as an uber receipt.

But the instant you start forging documents to be used as evidence... well your credibility goes down real quick. From that point on everything gets questioned.

Could happen but nonetheless he was a no-show with no call for help/a ride on social media. He said ordering was too expensive (which I guess could happen, can't remember the price tag) so he bought a brand new ps4 so he could stream an apology which was 4h of no apologies.

So whether or not parts of this is true or even all of, his behaviour is remarkable and kinda shitty.

Go Gund Me has some stricter rules though. I'm not sure if Twitch donations, or whatever service he used to collect them, is as stringent. I think there definitely is a case to be made for fraud, I'm just not sure how actually strong a case it would be.


Also as an aside, I remember I had a friend whose politics took a real hard libertarian turn after his daughter was born, likely due to extreme sleep deprivation. Anyways, when that story about the pretty blond lady being helped by the homeless man and then starting the Go Fund Me page first came out, he was all over that story talking about how it proved that we don't need government to provide aid to people, that instead we can handle all of those things similar to how those people did it. Man that was hilarious watching that story blow up in his face.

The law is not the same in every country....lol. Some countries for example you get thrown in jail or worse if you criticize the President, Emperor etc, etc others like here in America it's perfectly legal as it's freedom of speech. This was not legal.
can I fly you to one of these countries.

It is definitely illegal. You could actually have a couple of people file suit against him for breach of contract and fraud since they paid the fund for him to play the game at these tournaments, and he openly misrepresented and attempted to lie to people.
That’s not how donations work. Just like how some people get shit on with crowd funded games that fall through.

What does Trump have to do with this topic? lol stupid corrupt socialists...

can I fly you to one of these countries.
Still alive huh? Can I fly you off the planet?

No but I'm flattered I still bring you out of the woodwork Red Saleen. :D Want to play? Gamertag is the same MKF30 Yeah? Who am I kidding.

You still taking jabs at MKF 15 years later, huh? LOL.
I'd say that felt more like a poke than a jab lol The fact that Red Saleen just comes out of nowhere amuses me. I mean I'm sure he's upset he's his BF is a scammer. I am flattered though that I can still lure him out of his little cave 15 years later.

It was me poking fun are you just like you me, right old pal? But honestly since you're here, mind if I ask you about the actual topic since it's not about me. How do you feel about the situation of Tom scamming folks? Gotta admit that's kind of messed up.
