I have no horse in this race, but why wasn't the money put up ahead of time and held by a trusted 3rd party?

It is common not to have an escrow with a "trusted" member. But there are times when it goes bad even with trusted people. It has happened before and it will happen again.

That's just too logical. Besides, we wouldn't have this entertainment if it was placed in escrow.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

I can confirm that I have received full settlement (That's the full $175 less my own currency translation fees, which I gladly bear) for the $175 wager that I had with Hotblonde.

Thanks HB. I wish you all the best for the future.

To those who comment on the delay in resolving this, the delay was for good reasons, by mutual agreement and perfectly acceptable to me.

Thank you for posting that.

HB is committed to paying everyone in full but it will take some more time.

Greetings!

I have no idea why this post didn't go up day before yesterday, but I was in a bit of a hurry, so maybe I closed out without hitting, 'Post.'

Either way, I am posting to say that the $100 was satisfied, in full. I had no problems with waiting for it, everything was handled privately. Further, my part of the money was collected on my behalf and I opted to donate it anyway, which is also being done on my behalf, so I'm not particularly concerned. I'm also only vaguely aware of any reasons for any delay as I didn't handle the collection...but nor was I ever really concerned about it.
