It was only yesterday that I posted how being in the stiffing business could be hazardous to one's health. Now, less than 24 hours later we have reports of a 6' 8" Samoan goon coming to chat with Dippy and grabbing him by the throat? This makes sense.
Now that Billy has chimed in, the room is getting a little smaller for Dippy. And, as the always-level-headed Nathan suggested, it would be nice to hear first-hand from Scott for his side of the story, but to be honest, we may not need to. Most of the pieces of this puzzle are now together and I must say, it does look like a "Viffer Stiffer".
The only remote possibility that could have supported Dippy's claim would be that if he paid Scott and now Scott is bagging all of his buddies, and in particular, Mr. Incardona. This theory has been dispelled by the distinguished Billy Incardona himself, right here in this thread. And just like Lenny's account, it has the ring of truth to it, complete with details of the conversation they had with Dippy right after the 3rd match and then again later where Dippy gave a BS answer to Billy about when and where he supposedly paid Scott.
Facts mixed with Speculation & Hypothesis (is such a thing permissable?): Mr. Dippy lost some big dollars to pool players and he obviously has (had?) a lot of gamble in him. Went up against Scott and found himself down two sets for big money. As reported, Scott had a close hit that was watched by Bartram (friend of Dippy) and was called clean. Despite Dippy posting here yesterday that he didn't even watch the hit, reports are that Dippy declared it was a bad hit and further stated that he wasn't gonna pay for that set. So naturally, the Freezer gets pissed off to the extent that he's spitting mad, literally. Billy, who's been there so many times and has the complete set of t-shirts, with a cool head tries to keep things moving forward in a positive way and gets Scott to spot up the 9 and resume play. The Freezer is now melting down in full deFrost mode, Dippy is trying with all his might to make a comeback but ultimately he's overmatched. He must have been thinking I'm not gonna be a golden goose for this guy who is stomping and spitting (even though his *Dippy's* whining about the bad hit, fueled it).
And so here we are. Added insight by Billy regarding a car sale where Dippy won't give Scott the title, etc., all points toward big sour grapes between Scott and Dippy. Dippy must be trying to teach him a lesson.
Until and unless Dippy can come up with
credible info on when, where, and who saw him pay Scott, this court finds Dippy Dave guilty of stiffing in the first degree. There will be a $50,000 fine assessed and if not paid within 48 hours, you will be remanded to a Samoan village where you will be made to feel very uncomfortable.
The cue ball is in your court.
Next case...
Best,
