bill has not responded to my emails sent prior to my recent vegas trip. he appears to be employing his usual stonewalling tactics.

i will continue to try to persuade him for another couple weeks; after that i will write this incident off (unless there are some good arguments to the contrary).

the money he likely has stolen has already been deducted from the team bank as an expense. should the money miraculously appear, then i will add it back into the bank (as a 'negative' expense).

i've not yet given up on playing nice with him... so please do not antogonize him yet (if you happen to be prone to such tactics).

for those of you who placed a bet with me that bill would end up playing straight with us on this matter, i suggest you get ready to pay up... it appears that i'm going to win this bet (unfortunately).
