Chips missing after a game?

[dizzle98]

Well this sounds like a cash game, so there should be extra cash since $175 worth of chips never got cashed in yes? So you put the $175 aside and what does it matter if the chips get introduced later? I'm assuming the "missing chips" are really non-cashed-in chips and not just chips someone has taken from the case without paying? (otherwise how could your buddy "go south"?)
