One-Time Stakes and Taxes

[NHFunkii]

staker has no intentions of paying taxes?
I got staked by timex/steve for barcelona, and neither of them are paying American taxes, but I just got contracts from both of them (after the fact) saying that they staked me with the agreement that they'd get x% of the winnings, thus it was never my money so I don't have to pay taxes on it.
If your stakee is planning on just shafting you uh... find a better staker?
