When John has his nose wide open, I would think he would, but I don't know Lou.
So, how much did he lose ?

When John has his nose wide open, I would think he would, but I don't know Lou.
Even with that, I really don't think Lou would step up with his own money.

I wish I could carry myself more like you, I don't know how I would have handled a situation like that, but I doubt it would be anywhere as coolheaded as you.
Thank you! Anyone seen ShootingHank? lol

Don't get too bold Lou. From what I saw, he is horrible and you are just above bad!
right or wrong (legally) I would have printed out the Paypal and grabbed a case from one of his shows.
I can however deduct is as promotional expense. And if audited and it was challenged myself and the auditor would discuss it.
Either way a loss can be deducted and reduce taxable income. No different than if i held an event and had contests to win money, the money spent is a business expense. I was very clear in the beginning of the stream to tell people to enjoy the show and wore my work clothes to get the promotion.
I didn't intend to spend so much, i took $500 with me to play some sets. But it is what it is and the accounting will be done properly regarding how the expense is booked. Either way it will legally reduce my taxable income by the amount spent.
Red flag? An expense for me is income for someone else. Everybody is responsible for their own taxes. I am not scared of the IRS because there is no reason to be.
Even if the irs audits me and ultimately disallows the expense i an ok with that. I would have their reason and if i disagreed i would appeal and if denied then i would just move on and know what to do in the future.
So you would go to jail for stealing a case?
You cannot steal because you claim a debt. There are civil remedies available that don't require risking arrest.
However i am 100% certain that if you came to my both and showed me a legitimate debt in the form of a deposit against a case that hadn't been delivered then i would absolutely refund you or work something out in your favor. Why? Because that's how i am and i hate to find out that an order s lipped through the cracks. That there are cracks is 100% my fault and neglecting to fix them is inexcusable.
Well IMHO John made an offer, now it's on the other part to get his receipt to John, as John did offer to make things right. JMHO.
John, I wrote you yesterday on FB - per your request. You seemed sincere enough about wanting to make things write and posted about it several times. You've yet to read it, but you've had time to argue with Lou. As usual, your priorities remain out of wack. Don't bother writing back - I'll pass on the case. Best of luck.

Nobody cares about your opinion.
On anything.
I'd rather give John 10 deposits on 10 un-made cases, and stake him to play Lou Figeroa even one pocket for the rest of eternity than read your opinions on anything.
On behalf of AZBilliards, you are hereby barred from posting. You now have "read-only" status. Good day.
:thumbup:
I believe John is a good guy. I have good friends who love John and deal his cases. I think he WOULD make it right if he could get his priorities right. He's just all over the place. Many people who are super talented (as John clearly is) are also...a bit spazzy. I wasn't holding a grudge and now I wish I hadn't posted about it. I was just feeling some kind of way I guess at the time. I promise, I won't post about it anymore.
ALLrighty then
That's why i said right or wrong (legally) genius. I know more about the law than you do. Not 1% have gone to jail for petty theft in 30 years unless they were a 3 time felony loser at minimum. I have no record. Id be home before you if you had the balls to go through with it after i threw the receipt at you. I know, Assault!!
