Quoted from Elvishasleft:

If I was this guys biggest creditor I would be civil to him also.. be curious how that civil tone changes if he ever gets paid back.

There are few different things going on in this thread
1. you have the people he owes money to "being nice" in hopes they will get re-paid
2. people who are his friends/associates saying he is wonderful despite the obvious facts.
3. everybody else who knows anyone who ever deals with him again is a moron.

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

From someone’s posting above. The intent by Jonathan, after paying back his loudest creditors, will be resuming business as usual and probably still as ASOA. That tells me that Jonathan is somewhat laying low now and that he is not actively pedaling pinballs. That makes me wonder how Jonathan was suddenly able to raise cash against his failed assets, to pay people back what he owed them. Banks don’t do charity loans. I’ll leave this question to percolate for now, seeings how people are being made whole and I don’t want to upset the apple cart. The whole situation is a bit of a head scratcher, as is why people would choose to do business with Jonathan @ ASOA again in the future. (I am secretly wondering how much money Ice is owed and think it may be $100k).
