The final word on Vig: the truth

[TyFuji]

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.

The vast majority of BBV gave money blindly because of how his baby and girlfriend looked, and cancer was just a nice way to write themselves up as being charitable. If Vig's wife is ugly, she's probably lucky to see 10% of the money that was given. Nobody deserved to lose their money, but it's pretty laughable some of you in BBV are trying to take the moral high ground here.

I agree with your predictions but not your conclusions. Yes, people are more likely to get in touch with their good side for beautiful people. This is why evolution gave us babies with large eyes with respect to their face. Beauty gives our brains a dopamine rush which gives us the boost we need to act good.

You equate giving money to beautiful people to something bad. It's not. The proper response is to be aware of the biology within oneself, and hopefully in the future be able to somewhat overcome one's own biological biases.

I agree Ty, which just another reason the "knew it was a scam" people sound so ridiculous

Gild,

Since not everything about being a mod is black and white, I ask you to make an exception to a new BBV Rule:

When referring to Vigorish or this incident, BBV is allowed a reprieve from its ban on yearning for combustion-related personal injuries and/or fatalities.

[/ QUOTE ]

ya that one is definitely overruled for at least this thread

Then may I be the first to say:

Vigorish I hope you die slowly in a fire that first begins as a slow, painful burn at the tip of your dick and spreads, blistering and popping, throughout your body, ultimately culminating in your anus exploding inward, collapsing upon itself and sucking in the liquified remains of your internal organs like a star going supernova.






Anyone got a pic for that?

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.

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?

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.
