totally not worth it hunting him down imo, even if we find him what then? he s close to broke, his life is miserable (and most likely will be for rest of his life) he lost his wonderful gf, he lost his great sunny place he was living in before, he lost most of his true friends, he is hiding in some s*ithole.. what more can he lose??
he owns me a bit over 1k$ too, but ok, i took it as learning from experience to not overtrust ppl who i dont know very well. I think its totally justified to seek revenge in his extreme case but i am just not willing to lose any more time on "case Simo".
Obv i would have been a lot more emotionally involved if i had been in a spot of TT, which is quite nasty. Not so much for the $ tho, but the effect it has on a person's social life afterwards - more doubting, less honesty and belief in friends. That's the sadest part of this all i think.
We, with TT, had even "spiritual" kind of debates w him, i am sure TT supported him many more times than me, but i talked to him like at least 4-5 times on skype to him for several hours genuinly trying to help, coz he seemed still trying at times.. Obv we postponed several times our poker sessions for talking to him and hearing him out.
It seems like his talk was always just bs and he is a scum, even tho there was sth abt him i cannot explain, that suggested he rly didnt do any of this intentionally, he just has been totally unrealistic, and i would say STUPID abt himself and life. But i dont count out totally that he always thought as part of "plan B" to run away w money from his friends.. Even tho most ppl will dislike me for this, but i have to write down that we are bigpart accountable for all this too (i feel that way anyways) we have been too good for him for too long and believed naively with not much of provable results that he could do this and change his life. I mean - 1 thing in life i ve learned after getting to know more ppl after when i met him: not everyone is intelligent (i mean avg intelligence - many ppl have say IQ of 100 or even less which i think is just sad, but ntg we can do abt it), not everyone is honest or can overpush his lets call it animalistic strives or his control over anger or his needs for stealing (or in other extremes killing) Ppl are so various, many ppl are just downright bad and its not just a few ppl, even tho u would still search for the good in them forever- u ll just find it in so few drops that it totally doesnt matter..
I wish he could still turn his life around and i dont want to take revenge on him, for me he is dead and i wish all my friends would ingore him similarly, to make this world a more just place to live and make bad ppl feel worst they could - alone forever.
I wish this blog stays alive long enough to warn as many ppl as possible.
