    hi guys... sorry i didn't realize that i had posted some and left off the rest... my head isn't straight right now, long day... i also didn't realize that i wrote a novel, i was just typing whatever came to me... looking at it now, its a lot longer than i thought... yeah, i know i got what i deserved for dealing with this guy, but i guess i have a fault of trying to see the good in people, esp after some things that i have gone thru... i'm not going to post anymore on this thread, because I don't want it to turn into a shitshow between me and fratboy... but thanks for reading, take it for what it's worth, and do the right thing when the situation calls... amazing how slimy some people can be... i wish the best for all of you, ya even you fratboy (haha sorry for sounding like tebow, i usually not corny like this, just feeling reflective after the events of the day)

    When it comes to business (and backing in any form is a business) don't base your decisions on emotion, ever. It will save you a lot of grief and money.

    mad props to u man. i know most are gonna make fun of u for floating a known scammer $, but i don't see it that way. you saw some of yourself, in him, and wanted to help that person out. i've been in those shoes before and i've also gotten burnt for it. the fact of the matter is that in the long run, you win. fratboy may have scammed you for 1700 and prob feels like he's won at this point in time, but he's gonna end up in the same spot where he started. having good morals and doing the right thing is gonna take u as far as u wanna go.

    fratboy: bro, everyone talks mad shit on u that i never bought into, but this is some low shit. when u get 2nd and 3rd chances and continually fuck people over, that just makes u a fuckin scumbag. kick the drug habit, and if you've already kicked it and are still doin this shit, then just die. u only get so many chances in life and ur running out of yours. don't ask me for help anymore cuz its not happening, and yes, that includes asking me for 74 dollar swaps on facebook.

    I miss the lack of sentimentality, bordering on cruelty and nastiness, that SCT used to bring to these boards on a more regular basis.

    And the fact that SCT is on the money every single time he posts something here.

    I read all of it, and found it to be very honest and revealing. Thank you, Joker, for writing and sharing your story. It's got something everyone can learn from.

    One point I'd like to bring up....

    This is probably a point others will disagree on...but I think there's something horribly wrong with weed and gambling. It makes some people (you, specifically, I think) a bad judge of character. Potheads get so wrapped up in their own skull, behind the haze of getting high, they see far too much of the best in people.

    Fratboy247 has proven himself over and over to be a bad guy and thief, willing to screw people over at a moment's notice. You'll find those around gambling and poker circles - he's not unique, or even the worst you'll find around P5s. Most people pick up on this.

    You didn't. You believed he wanted to change, in the way that you wanted to change when you talked to your guidance counselor. Fratboy247 could give a fuck about changing. He's a degenerate, in the same way that you were a degenerate about getting your next high.

    The difference is that he hasn't hit rock bottom because he found another sucker to scam into backing him.

    It really sucks that your trust and belief in him got abused. We can all hope for a giant karma bomb to land on him.

    gotta always give someone the benefit of the doubt. I guess if i were you i would send him another $500 to grind up so he can pay you back the money he stole from you. offer this and see what he says

    read the whole thing and that's pretty heavy stuff....i'm really sorry man. how someone (fratboy) could live in such a wreckless and hurtful way is beyond me. while karma may be bullshit in a certain sense i think you can find comfort in knowing that one day....when he grows up....he'll have to look at himself in the mirror and live everyday of his life with tremendous guilt for all the terrible things he's done intentionally to hurt others. That day will come..... and will be quite the burden to carry.

    I wish you and your family all the best bro.

    lol dude pours his heart out and trojans dont give a fuck.. straight asshole but i love it.. no one rly cares you helped someone out who has stolen before and got fucked, it happens everyday. live and learn. you have to be the dumbest in this equation. how you could trust another grown man with his back against the wall just blows my mind. its natural instinct to survive. stay from drugs. drugs are bad mmkay.

    Read the whole thing actually. This fratboy guy is a real piece of work, how does he live with himself? I am also the type that goes out of my way to help others out - to a point where people have questioned my motives - but I guess its just the way I've been brought up. Being burnt happens when you take on these situation, but don't let this change who you are and how you carry yourself. My only suggestion is to take care of you and yours first before voluntarily taking on other peoples burdens; be loyal and surround yourself with those who are the same.

    Here is my response to this very sad story which seems to be written on these forums at least once a week. The circumstances are always slightly different, but the underlying theme seems to be the same; thought he was a good guy, sent him a stake and he screwed me over, etc. OP you seem like a sincere guy and I truly believe you had a genuine desire to give something back to atone for your past sins. The main problem in your thinking however was that even though you were trying to help, in reality you were contributing to making the problem worse. Just about the absolute WORST thing you can do in this situation is give this guy money. The second he even started to hint on the idea of you sending him money alarm bells should have been going off in your head.

    The most valuable thing you have to offer people right now is friendship. If you really want to help people (and I believe you do), share your experiences with them so they don't go down a similar path as you have. Don't think that just because you send some other addict degen money that is going to make all your past sins just dissolve. And certainly don't be surprised and disapointed when he ends up fucking you over. You of all people (who has seen that side of people) really shouldn't be holding an idealistic view on the behavior of a known addict and thief.

    I am by no means flaming you right now, I just want you to understand that way to help people is to give them inspiration and hope, not a handout. Handouts just make them weaker, and to overcome addiction its takes all the strength most people have.

    Sorry to hear this man. Always hate to hear when someone tries to help out someone else by giving them a chance and they get ripped off. Be it a backer player situation or otherwise. Hope everything works out well for you in the future, sounds like your on a good path again. Glad I know fratboy is still a no good pos too, actually thought he seemed somewhat sincere in that giant post of his a while back.

    the fact that he blocked you on AIM and didn't come at you straight despite your kindness is sooo scummy a;sfsajfjds

    I'm sorry to hear about your money loss, but glad to hear you kicked the habits and are back on your feet. You sound like a good person and I wish you all the best.

    So I just read the cliffs and the responses, all I have to say is sorry, some people just have no decency. Hopefully after this experience you're more careful with who you trust, pretty much an echo of all other responses. GL getting back on your feet, sounds like you're going in the right direction, and this is just a small set back.
