Alright, this thread is looooooooong, so I'm going to make an attempt at summarizing. It's more than possible that I have a few details wrong, so please correct any mistakes I've made.
Dave's Claim:
-----------------
Dave left the pool hall without paying after losing a $50k set against Scott, saying that he would pay the money soon. He then claims to have paid Scott the $50k that he owed at 2:30pm later that day. The payment was made at a different location that I can't recall at the moment.
Since Scott states that payment was never made, Dave is calling Scott a liar. He claims Scott is the fraud, and is holding out on Billy.
Scott then gave Dave a hard time the other night at the pool hall, hiring some goon to rough him up. Dave says that it was done to save face after scamming Billy.
As a penalty for doing this, Dave outright admits to taking back the vehicle that he sold to Scott for $10k prior to the gambling match up.
Billy's Claim:
---------------
Billy was a partner with Scott in the match up. Scott told him that he was never paid the $50k that Dave owed, and as such, Billy is out money as well.
Billy says that he was with Scott from 2pm till 7pm, which conflicts with Dave's claims to have paid the money at 2:30pm.
--
If these details are indeed correct, the time that he was with Scott and the time that Dave claims to have paid Scott overlap by only 30 minutes. It's possible that one person is off by an hour or so, which would make the payment possible.
If that's the case, then I really fail to see how either party can prove anything without the video tape that documents the exchange between Dave and Scott. It's really just a matter of one persons word against another. Dave's word against Scott's, which really means that this whole debacle is going *nowhere*.
Jay says that Dave admitted over the phone to Billy that he never actually paid Scott. Sadly Billy has yet to confirm this first hand.
Poor Billy is the only one who's credibility is not being questioned. Be the culprit Scott or Dave, Billy got the short end of the stick either way.
