Sometimes people are degenerates all the way down to their core.
But seriously, LOL @ anyone just handing $111k to Chino, and not walking with him up to the cage, buying him in, and instructing Jack Effel not to allow him to get a refund under any circumstances.
How could someone not have warned Laliberte that this might happen?
Anyway, congrats, Chino. You out-iamhiv'd Jonathan Drane.
