Thus, all the coin we paid him wasn't "paid for" against the cap yet. Now is the time of reckoning.


Gute went to Back and tried to restructure

Back was looking out for his best interests (I kinda understand that, but on the other hand we kinda got screwed on this deal so it would have been nice if he would have considered that)


GOOD BYE DB.
