Somehow I had missed this thread. WHat I find most interesting is that Mike talks about this signed agrrement he had with the player to accept just 30%. What about the inital agreement that every player has with the book, whihc is if we win we get paid 100%. If Mike was so willing toss that agrrement to the wind, and change the agreement to only 30%, why was it any suprise to him that they player would seek to get back all the money that was rightfully do him.
Also, if he admits that he was wrong, why not do something to compensate the player for the fact that he ahd to wait a month to get paid. No offense, but when you treat someone like crap, withhold 85k for one month, i think the player deserves more than "sorry, I think you're a crook, legally I owe you nothing, but I'll finally pay you anyway out of the kindness of my heart."
But what i am most curious about is when did you decide to pay this player in full. Your posts was made on the 30th. But I believe it was on the 26th that Kenny announced asettlement was reached. Was the settlement that was reached on the 26th to pay the player in full, or was it only later after continued bad press did you finally consent to paying the player in full. And if the agreement you reached on the 26th wasn't to pay the player in full, what was the agreement.
