If anyone truly believes that then I dont know what to say to them honestly. There is no fucking way that Druff holds my money for 48 hours and then my name is miracously cleared.

The real question here is why wont Vegas agree to escrow? Im not asking him to ship to Druff first, all I am asking him to do is merely reply saying "jsearles22 if you escrow, i give my word that I will escrow within 24 hours." Thats it, thats all he has to do. How hard would it be for him to agree to do that? He has been here on a daily basis, he replies to other posts, yet he seemingly cant type out that one sentence. Why is that?
I actually logged on this morning to do just that.

Jsearles, I agree to escrow Dan Druff $500 within 24 hours of you doing so.

I spoke with him late last night about this and he agreed to hold it for both of us. The ONLY thing that has held me back from doing this over the last few months is that I know it is going to be a giant pain in the ass to find legitimate "outside judges" to hash this out. This has been an angle shot of yours all along knowing it is going to be very difficult to agree on who we choose to do this, but I am fucking sick and tired of you using this as your out as to why you haven't manned up and paid off this debt. Time to shut the fuck up and get this done and over with.

Ship your $500 to Druff and I will do the same.

Holy shit, we are finally getting somewhere! Vegas acknowledges that I have been trying to settle this legitimately for months and that he is the reason we havent been able to move on!

However, I never agreed to Druff being the escrow. Withdraw yourselves from the situation and tell me what smart person would do such a thing (agreeing to Druff that is). The guy has already routinely said that he feels that I lost this bet. He has in fact taken some of MY money and shipped it to Vegas for that very reason. So why would I now agree to allow Druff to be the escrow holder? Im sure you will all point to his incredible track record and his great standing in this community right? He has never screwed anyone on money ever right? Well how about his recent handling of theTemplar account? $400 and it took him 3 months to settle that. Honestly, would it hurt Druffs credibility whatsoever in this community if he took my money, and then shipped it to Vegas regardless of anything else?
I also find it quite puzzling that there is this insistance that i put my $$$ up first. Why is that? Is this some back door ploy to get my money in bad, drawing dead if you will? Why is EVERYONE so hard core about me escrowing first? You escrow first Vegas......

I still agree to escrow, but we need to decide on another suitable escrow holder. Im open to suggestions.
