Weird spot with friend and possible jailtime

It prolly goes this way: the thief pays your friend every month, then he pays you. Then the thief won't pay, your friend says he's trying to get him pay so he could pay you, then he maybe pays you something once or twice. I don't think he will feel he's fully responsible for the debt that the thief prolly never pays him back.

My guess is you'll end up getting $500-1000 back. If it satisfies you, do it.

Why couldn't he sell everything he owns, then get more from his family, then try to borrow the rest? I think I know the answer, though. I know many guys like him.

I'd never do this unless it was a close friend and I didn't care about getting the money back.

Why doesn't he use the $6000 he stole? Because he spent it frivolously. Lending that kind of money to someone with that kind of money management skill seems like a bad idea.

QFT. Also, if you are well off and can afford it then "hire" him to do some bitch work for you for like $20/hr and make him work for like 50 hours in this time period. Then he'll only be 5k short. He should be able to scrape up a few hundred here and a few hundred there if he really is a good kid. If you give him the money I would not really expect to get it back so it should be out of your good will.

Also, $6k is a [censored] lot for a cashier to be taking in cash. Did he take like every [censored] dollar for a month straight or something?

How the [censored] do his parents not bail him out here? The fact that this obvious route wasn't mentioned makes me doubt he is a good kid. I mean ffs any working person should be able to get a 6k loan right?

I have a pretty good relationship with my parents (at least I think?). However, I know for a fact that they would not bail me out of a situation like this, and I wouldn't even dream about asking nor expect them to do so.

I wouldn't do it. There is time in everybody's life that they have to stand up and pay the piper.

Peter... watch out for your cornhole, bud.

I wouldn't trust a kid who stole $6,000 to pay me back. Also, it's kind of a dick move on your friends part to put you in the spot by even asking.
