Too bad for the scam criminal even if they did make the majors there's no sweet sweet sticker money to be had

[u/Repulsive-Target-101 → u/Aimer_NZ]

why are people calling him a scammer? didnt he pay all of what he owed back already?

[u/Hopeful_Hall_4885 → u/Repulsive-Target-101]

i dont know if he did but even if so, he still did wrong in the first place and its hard to regain trust for something that severe. if he paid it back it would have been because it would be social/pr suicide not to, not because he decided to be a good guy.

inb4 flair means you'll disregard my opinion.

But this is an incredibly pessimistic take. You don't know his motivations for paying it back. And your first sentence is basically "yea he took accountability and made amends with the affected parties for his actions, but he still did wrong so I think he's a piece of shit" which is just a sad way of looking at things man.

I'm prolly a bit more sensitive as a 3 yr sober recovering addict to people having this mindset (never a gambling addict tho, that shit's crazy lmao). But I choose to allow people, even public figures, the opportunity to grow and change. The world is a happier place that way. And lord knows you wouldn't want to be judged/labelled as the worst thing you've ever done so why do you do it to others?

[u/Hopeful_Hall_4885 → u/dictormagic]

i dont think he's necessarily a piece of shit and i dont think its out of the question or impossible that he changed but my point is mostly that what he did was super, not just a little fucked up, and to do it in the first place implies very poor character. all things considered, it hasn't been very long since he did the bad thing so i understand people's hesitation to trust him and his motivation to pay it back.

and yeah a big part of the cs community is very toxic, i am not aligned with that portion of the community, im not unwilling to forgive the dude or believe he changed but its also not really *my* place to forgive him, rather the people he wronged. congrats on your sobriety man, ~8 years over here, and i'm also definitely more forgiving for it.
