Shrink was approached by sickgambler as a last ditch effort to recover his money which he scammed from a book. I don't think Ken was told the real story by sick gambler. Sick gambler, thinking he is the valuable asset to all forums, probably told Shrink he would post if he helped him. Once Shrink was presented the facts, he could not help Sick gambler because it was the wrong thing to do and refused to help him
