And, as I've stated, it's absurd to encourage or allow such charitable drives to be conducted over BBV, as they are destined to end badly more often than not. What's done is done, Gild and BBV learned its lesson, and that's all.

A couple technical questions: How sure are we that his wife, child and (especially) her condition are real? And based on what? Also, what was Vig known for on 2p2 before this?

Shaniac,
You obviously aren't quite in on the bottom floor here. GILD CHECKED OUT ALL THE PAPERS, HE GOT PROOF THAT MRS. VIG HAD CANCER AND WAS ENROLLED IN THE SLOAN-KETTERING CLINIC FOR TREATMENT. HE DID AS THOROUGH A CHECK AS COULD BE EXPECTED. VIG WAS A FAIRLY REGULAR POSTER IN BBV WHO BRAGGED ABOUT HIS BABY ALL THE TIME (in retrospect this could have been a ploy to gain sympathy but I HIGHLY doubt it). HE WAS ON BBV AND 2P2 FOR A WHILE, HE DIDN'T JOIN JUST TO START A DONATION THREAD AND TAKE EVERYONE'S MONEY.

So next time, before you criticize someone, maybe you should know the entire story, you know so you don't sound like a moran afterwards.

EDIT: Well Gild already defended himself but I am not deleting my post, I am sticking up for him.

Shaniac is right, this was a bad idea from the start, regardless of all that. I was all about the BG "lol donkaments" donations and helped out there, but I never for a second considered giving vig any money.

I'm pretty surprised that so many BBV'ers donated, but like Shaniac said, what's done is done and lesson learned.
