I have to second the opinion that Pluvia would have said it to his face. Tim used to give me that crap to, you wouldn't say it to my face, blah blah blah. I hear Pluvia got banned from SI for posting what he did, amazing. It sickens my stomach to see everyone come on here and say, well he was a screwball but hey I liked him. LOL, he was a nutjob of the highest order, a dangerous person that delighted in threatening others, and only got all anguished about being called a "scumbag" and sued I would imagine as a way to get some money. I didn't like the guy. He was a liar, and when he got caught in a lie he became violent. I can probably dig up some PM's from him that I saved where he threatened me in his oh so stupid "you don't know me, you don't know what i'm capable of" kind of way, and then there's my favorite where he turns around and says "i love you" to me in a PM a few hours later. I just cannot get over peoples willingness to give a guy a zillion chances and still get burned and say well he meant well. Yes i'm sorry for his family and friends if he had any, that grieve, but not sorry for him, he made a bad choice on top of 100's of other ones. It's a tragic life but there's a few billion people here on earth and a good many of them have it a lot rougher and they don't end like this. I really think his life would make the perfect Coen bros movie as it's absurd on a level that only they could capture. You have the weird beginning working in the slaughter house with dad. The guy that lifts weights to get big as a way of dealing with self esteem issues. Workin as a bodyguard, beating people up at the command of others, lol. Getting a hot tip on a stock, making a pile, then getting hooked on the market. The middle of the movie, where our "hero" makes it big, has thousands of adoring fans clicking refresh on their computer like lab rats wantin that morphine hit, waiting for another "RED ALERT." Then the bull market is over. Tim uncannily goes short everytime it bounces on the way down, and loads up long at the end of every bear market rally.(I miss him for this ability, swear to God I used to scour my accounts looking for crap to cover when he started talking about going short, no one was ever a better counter signal than him.) The repo'ing of the Ferrari(if he ever even had one) The losing of everything. The shot of him typing his online messages describing his trip around the Pacific with hottie girlfriend then the camera pans back and he's in an empty apt. except for a computer and weight bench. Getting another can't miss, sure thing tip. Going all over LA in a beater car(while typing about Ferrari's) trying to hustle some cash from any old acquaitance, finally getting some loan shark money, then watching the sure thing go down down down. The loan shark guy telling him he will forgive the loan if he will do a thing, go scare this guy, or break his knee cap or whatever. Getting his back hurt after some screwup allows the 150lb weakling to beat him up and hurt his back. The loan shark guy sending the goon squad to pay a visit, with tim slipping out the backway. Post after post rah rah gung ho USA, more begging for money, finally the have my money by today or die scene. The flashback to some jewelry store he visited earlier in the movie when he was rolling in green, what an easy joint to knock off that would be, wimpy little salesman I could intimidate. The cigarette lighter gun purchase or even shoplift. Popping some painkillers for the back and going to the jewelry store. The clumsy amateur robbery attempt. A glance sideways at the CNBC ticker scrolling on the TV in the jewelry store as the word "buyout" is mentioned. Turn back just in time to see the wimpy lil store clerk preparing to dump a clip in him. The slow pan away from above showing this giant of a man falling backwards to the ground dying at the hand of some physically small wimpy dude. People hitting refresh not quite so rabidly, wondering what happened? Funny, tragic, etc. I am of course, fictionalizing, I have no idea if this is how it all went down, it's a movie folks. About as bizarre as Fargo, a tragic thing people getting fed to the woochopper but funny none the less. Flame away.
