Nah man. This was just a big "misunderstanding".
Now we got him and his buddies out on twitter saying he had the best of intentions but it's ok because they raised $14K for charity. And they aren't responsible for the fact that there was tens of thousands of side bets on this because "why should we care about anyone else's bets".
This was a scam from jump street. I feel bad for anyone who got caught up in it. And the fact that these guys are saying that this was in the up and up with a straight face is some shameful shit.
