People have been killed for a lot less ca$h
Yup, about 30-35 years ago I was playing in a weekly Friday night poker game with friends. Low stakes ($1-2). One guy invited a friend of his who played with us for a couple years. The new guy was a fairly regular winner, and I was a somewhat suspicious, but I really didn't believe anyone would cheat his new buddies in such a low-stakes, friendly game. Long story short: he was eventually caught cheating and then it became obvious he's been doing it the whole time.
Here's where it gets interesting: my buddy that invited him asked me: "
what do you want to do about it"? I said I never want to play with him again. At that point I didn't know what he was referring to. He then said "
no, I mean what should we do to him? I'll pay for it because it's my fault for inviting him". I was kind of shocked we were having that conversation. I can't recall exactly how I responded, but my buddy said,
"I think we should at least have both his legs broken". He then paused a little a said,
"I'd be OK with worse". Holy crap he was talking about having him killed!
I had no idea my buddy was that kind of dude to have that done over such a relatively small amount of money. The point is...you may never know who the wrong guy to cheat is.
