He sounds like a real a-hole.

And who’s hiring these so-called writers?

“After he won over 100 times the amount of money he gambled on, (facepalm) he refused to give the person (singular) he stole from (good grief) their (plural) fair share of the money.

Big, fat ‘F.’

Now there is a twist on the Nigerian prince story🤣

Who says “crime does not pay”?

Probably the same people that will tell you that lying gets you nowhere. We are stuffed to the gills with successful liars.

[Larry Lucido]

Ah, missed that except in the comments.

I’ll call the guy and offer to invest it for him.

[Navy Patriot]

...the man from Nigeria...

Yep, that sums it up.

[KC Burke]

I think that is if you are buying them, I was using the selling rate.

[falcon99]

I would think that whomever he won from would deny paying the $$ since he used stolen $$ to enter the contest. He had no right to the $$ or any right to use it so he has no right to the winnings and the payer should not pay him.

I, too, would like a PK and plenty of ammo.

[[Basically he stole her money and won a bet and won over $100 million Nigerian dollars, about $174,000 USD. ]]

But the money is all tied up and he needs our help to get it out of the bank- won’t cost us much- and the payoff will be yuge!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

A man used stolen money to gamble on in a bet.

Then he is entitled to none of the winnings. The woman he stole from should get everything.

[algore]

I think she got her 10k back and now wants another 40k. for a total of 1/2 his winnings.

Sounds fair to me.

[Vaduz]

Spot on

[FatherofFive]

If this was 10,000 Nigerian “dollars” it is a little over 13 US dollars.

Thanks, I was wondering how she left $10,000 USD on a shelf.

[Reno89519]

so many stupid points about the story, but any winnings from her stolen money should be given to her. The thief should get nothing but jail time.

You used to be able to buy spam cans with 440 7.62x54R for $79 with free shipping. My UPS man really hated it when I bought several at a time. It provided cheap plinking with a little bit of a kick with my Mosin Nagant rifles.

I save my “brass” even when they are made out of lacquered steel. I ended up with so many 7.62x54 and 7.62x39 steel cases that I bought a special tool to de-prime the berdan primers from them. Since berdan primers are almost impossible to find... after that you have to make a bushing out of 1/4” copper tubing and do a little bit of crude machine work to get the boxer primers to fit your crappy steel cases. Is it worth it? It depends on your budget and why you are doing it. If you have a PK and you go through a lot of it... maybe.

[Safrguns]

she may have the legal right to claim all 100 mil.

If he is prosecuted for a crime, he is not entitled to profit from it.

[G Larry]

"the man from Nigeria "

He's quite the Prince....

[higgmeister]

As a penalty of theft she should get it all.   She could give him an "acquisition fee" of ten thousand.   But that would only be a suggestion.

[skr]

He owes it all back. If she’s feeling generous, she can give him gas money if he used a car to go gamble and maybe a bag of chips as a tip, the last thing he’ll ever get from her.

[I-ambush]

If you send the girlfriend $500 to help her with the legal expenses, she will split the money she recovers.
