Summary to maybe save some folks a lot of time:
Joey was wronged but finally got his $6k back - really needs to learn how to summarize using bullets and salient facts when posting
Wally finally did the right thing after a lot of drama - but at great expense to his reputation. Most reasonable people would have to be concerned about his behavior and doing business with him
In the end this is a sad story of how simple things can quickly devolve and why so many people only deal cash on the glass
