I already know all that. What I meant is that you're energetically here and all he manage to mumble for himself is "thanks". Quite a rebuttal.

Hey, grab your pencil and let's get to the bottom of it. I appreciate that TLC is your bud, and well... we all were. He didn't screw strangers - he screwed those who cared about him the most. That's why we're here, after all! Now, even though he's deserted you here, a golden opportunity exists to really stand by your man and show the world you love him. I'll turn over TLC's debt to you. For .50 on the dollar. Furthermore, although your Webnode contribution went exactly where it was supposed to go -- to the lawyers, I'll give you the $500 out of my pocket, because your deflection on this matter is dull, stupid, irrelevant and the moaning has dulled my senses. Which means: you send me a cheque for $0.00. Yes, absolutely nothing (but I want the cheque that specifically says, "$0.00")! So, you get $1000 of TLC absolutely FREE! Your buddy can pay you back when hell freezes over. That's my sacrifice to you, for me to get absolutely nothing. In turn, for your part, you pay Michal .50 on the dollar. I think he'll agree because he's smart enough to know it's more than he'll get from your "responsibly non-swindling" buddy. And you pay Poet, Lazarus and every other Tom, Dick, Jane, and Harry he screwed, .50 on the dollar, too. I think they'll agree for the same reason, too. The Bestest Part is that you'll have done the most awesome thing for your friend at a fraction of what it's really worth. I get NOTHING. Everybody else gets something and best of all, you get The Whole Thing! All of TLC for your very own. So, stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to... This is absolutely a win-win for everybody and an especially once-in-a-lifetime fantabulous deal for you. After all, Isn't TLC worth it, friend?
