ptd - you lent him 20 BTC and sent it directly to his gambling account?
Good point. That was irresponsible of me (I should have asked him to set up an alternative wallet service). My past history lending to him (on that very address) shows he is trustworthy, but addicted to gambling.
rexcoin Ask any recovering addict and they will all tell you that addicts must totally quit their addiction they cannot control it, that is why it is called an addiction. Ask any addict in the throws of their addiction and every single one of them will tell you that 1) they are not addicted and 2) even if they are they are the one in a billion that can control it.
rexcoin This is very important advice. I am going to forbid you from routing bitcoins borrowed from me through gambling services in future.
Peter,
Interesting....I was un-aware that this was going towards gambling after reading the OP.
