link to pysch thread?

OK let me look for it, it was in one of the recent Vig scandal posts.

Here is the psych link . It doesn't contain a lot of information but it is just a function of the timing of that event coupled with the rest of the threads that came out. Barring any additional information I'm pretty confident with my call on this situation but I have to give credit to the people who pointed this discordance in the dates a few weeks back, don't remember how it was.

In August of 2006, Vig made a psych post claiming he had met some girl, was very happy, etc. Then in December of that same year he was talking about how his baby was walking - more likely, it was HER baby and he was just the mom's current bf. Mrs. Vig probably DOES have cancer, so he told her he would use her image and the baby's image to come here and solicit donations for her cancer. In his mind, he probably decided he was going to gamble with it and give her part of the winnings (he's obviously a degen gambler, not a winning player). She probably knew it was a little bit dishonest but went along with it because she figured she would be getting $$$ for her hospital bills. However, Vig went and blew the money and now she gets nothing - the catch is he was only planning on giving it to her if he was winning with it, so basically we were funding his gambling with a chance of the money going to treat his gf.

Listen, I don't think this was a hustle, I think that Vig had the right intentions but saw all that money in his account and couldn't help but take a shot with it. Obv he doomswitches/was never good in the first place and loses some, then has to try and win it back, all the while explaining to Ms. Vig how he's having withdrawl problems with all the legislation. A month or two later, Ms. Vig comes back here to complain and let us know that Vig never cashed it out.

I don't think that Vig went into this as a scam, he just lost some and got caught in the classic "gotta win it back" spiral. Obviously the Ms. Vig account is really her, otherwise she never would have brought it up. So, why would he scam us the whole time then out himself? If anything, Ms. Vig would have come on to ask for more money for additional treatment.

Good intentions, Greed got in the way, Vig is a [censored] and a horrible person for gambling with someone else's money.

I think this is the most likely scenario.

I actually DID think it was the most likely scenario but in light of all the evidence I think Vig pulled a double scam. I already posted this but no one seems to have read it. I can't find the links at the moment since I can't remember what post they are from, maybe someone can help me?

This is also a possibility. Is the girl his GF or Wife??? It seems like nobody knows, which is intriguing.

Whatever vig was doing, he wouldn't call himself out for it, so she really does have a 2+2 account. I feel like gild should email her and try and figure some more things out, if this avenue hasn't been explored already.

What??? she is not hot esp. not by BBV standards either. She isn't ugly but hot???

This is easily explainable by vig's friend's post were he says vig was seperated from mrs vig(shortly after he won sunday mil) and had a myspace gf.

Mrs. Vig = hot?

Jeez I see a ton of pictures here and you guys throw them 6's. Mrs Vig is not a girl I would ever turn my head to look at in the street.

[/ QUOTE ]

now that it has been said i agree 100%, don't understand what people are seeing.

btw i'm not saying she doesn't look good, she's attractive.. but a lot of girls are. a lot of 6's are "attractive".

[keikiwai]

i think everyone knows that she is NOT his wife

he said this several times in previous threads

(not that that makes it true, but it's been said several times)

I'm not sure it explains everything away but it does make sense. Again I'm not sure of all the dates, so that could prove me 100% wrong.

[DING-DONG YO]

keikiwai, I don't think that's up for debate.

However, he did say many times that baby vig was his. Which is starting to sounds like it isn't the case.

Someone who knows Vig IRL made a relevant post but I am too lazy in my detective work to go back over it carefully.
