Can someone show me a video or picture of this shark? I've heard a lot about it but I don't really know what you guys are talking about. It certainly does sound annoying though!

The problem with getting ESPN involved IMO is they would be all for it as long as you give it back to Humberto at some point.

As far as taking half if someone wants to do it for free then jump on up. The thread a few weeks ago was offering cash for someone to do it.

Then again if Bond is loaded then I say he's going to come across like that young man in BBV who went to Vegas for his first time, won a toy for a kid, then charged him $5 for it.

Hi Bond 18:

I actually have problems with this. First off I have found Phil Gordon to be highly insulting towards me and Two Plus Two in general. Apparently he didn't like some criticism about his writing he received on this site. Those of you who attended BARGE last year will know where I'm coming from. Gordon also seems to be very disliked by many of our posters, so it's also questionable to me to be supporting someone who has this stature.

But there's another more deeper issue here. If you look around, we don't charge for stuff. Of course, if you're an advertiser you get charged, or if you purchase a book, they're not free, but we don't charge any of our users to participate here and we don't ask them for money. This is something that's important to me and to the philosophy in which we established this site.

But it's also my experience that many people don't like being asked for money no matter how good the cause may be, and again, I personally question whether it should go to someone's cause who has been publicly hostile to us. But I'm going to get even more specific.

At the end of last year I established the Mason Malmuth Foundation. It's a private charity in which I funnel a little of my own money into to support a cause that I happen to like. I've never mentioned it in public before and until now, only a few people knew it even existed. My reason for not mentioning it is simply the fact that I didn't want to make anyone here feel uncomfortable.

So if you want to give some of your own money to some charity (like yours truly), that's great. But I do feel uncomfortable with the idea, and it has happened before, of threads appearing where a poster is asking other posters to donate money to some cause, and this is the case even if the cause is well worthwhile.

Best wishes,
Mason

Give the other 50% to a charity of Humberto's choice. I'm not too high on the 50% thing, but if you aren't profiting, I'll see to it that the appropriate ESPN producers will be notified and ready when you're good to go.

then humberto will guaranteed to be aware of it and it will be more circus acting time for him when the time comes which is why everyone is sick of him.

I just want to go on record and say that I have started my own charity called The Sponger Foundation, and I am accepting donations to my full tilt account.

Sincerely,
Sponger.
