Matt would do better paying off everyone you owe and not paying you anything. (It would be cheaper fit him too)
Back when I had already accepted my mistake and began
manning up to it (50% are already paid and taken care of) I had actually messaged the forum mods for their advice on paying his victims in his absence, but then the very good point was raised that if I did that, I would also have to start looking into paying people who lost something due to the bet, lost something who trusted someone else who bet, etc etc etc the list goes on.
In short, I'm simply making a peace offering to people because I believe it's the right thing to do. Everyone involved who has responded has agreed to this. BTC Guy is just grandstanding, looking for more suckers to send him money before he runs off again and knows that posting in a Matthew thread will get him the most attention. Work on getting your scammer tag removed BTC Guy. When you're doing paying people, I'll be happy to negotiate as I have, and pay you a settlement as I have already done for 50% of the individuals in my bet so far.
