I only know what I have read here but I would say that your an incredibly nice guy to write off that debt in the first place. $1000 is a heap of money, like 2-3 weeks wages for me.
Want to make a bet, lol. Just kidding.
I really cant see his problem here anyway.
I will bet you 1000 dollars that BayAreaCoins is full of shit.

JustBtcMe will bet you whatever you want as long as you don't use escrow... don't plan on getting paid if he losses.

His problem is he won't pay his debts. He tries to weasel out of it six ways from Sunday. The latest offer was that if I removed my negative feedback... he'd give me his signature earnings (roughly .2 BTC per month) until the debt was paid. He's just a cheap fuck who doesn't want to pay his gambling debts out of pocket.
PM from him:
I'm ready to make a deal with you.
My signature space, if I can sign up for a good campaign like fortunejack or this one,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1333794.0Will make around .2 a month and can go directly to you.
Or if you want, use my signature space for your snail business or anything you like (most things), this account is just going to waste at the moment.
I'll leave it on as long as it take to get this whole thing over with. What do you think?
