Since you have zero knowledge of 401k's I'll educate you. There's a 20% fwt charge and a 10% fee if you're not at least 59-1/2, which I wasn't. That's a 30% hit, but you get the 20% back at filing time--of course, you have zero knowledge of that either. So it cost me $64k to withdraw. Seems a lot to a slug like you, right? But with TRowe Price and probably all asset mgmt. companies, signing an agreement to put back what you withdraw for an emergency within 30 days eliminates the fed fee. And all you have to do is identify an emergency, which I stretched the truth a bit on.
I'm sure this is all WAY above a hole-infested head such as yours. Yet you can go to the papers and ask for the info, but you won't ever do that will you. Heaven help your alcohol-weakened body and mind once you see it really happened.
Conditions were all spelled out in the proposal, and every single burden was on me except for the AP's requirement to match my cash escrow at the Casuarina. Also was the clause that allowed no changes by either party.
This is all in the history files for anyone to review. But likely none of the phonies here or anywhere else will ever do it. Singer struck Fear into the hearts of the AP crowd back then, and he strikes FEAR into their broken hearts to this day. This "Singer Lays Down The Gauntlet" bet made fools of them then and it's still causing losers like you problems today. The dividends (know what those are?) have been ecstatic!
Can you show us a copy of the proposal? Put it up here as a screenshot?
What sort of "proof" were you going to put up?
The challenge was spelled out very clearly in the article dummy. Fezzik and friends went on Larry Grossman's show and spent almost an hour doing what doofuses like you do today with next to zero knowledge of the play strategy I used: call me a liar and a fraud who is "re-writing the math books".
The proposal was simple, direct, and very very concise. The cash was to be put up at Casuarina with their casino manager. I was paying his casino a small fee for the service for both sides. I would, with Fezzik and one other chosen critic whom I requested to be Anthony Curtis, go online and into my bank if necessary with me to review my weekly withdrawals and re-deposits from my gambling-only account, to prove I put more money in overall than I took out in the past 5+ years showing a to-date positive cash flow profit of just over $640k.
These records' weekly session profits would then be matched up perfectly to my contemporaneous gaming records' profits, perfectly to my IRS tax filings net wins, and if available, casino win/loss records insofar as I used a slot club card--which I stopped doing at some casinos when Harrahs LV and Bellagio banned me. But because I had a winning record basically everywhere in the state my critics would get the message if these statements were what was of utmost importance to them.
Then, should my critics choose to somehow doubt the veracity of these items and/or not believe these records were not 100% truthful, I would pay any and all fees for a court appointed arbitrator that we would both agree & accept his/her decision as final and unable to be appealed.
I'm sure you can easily see why they all turned this down and looked foolish in the process. Immediately, the on-air lies and criticism stopped. redietz was there on LVA Sports when it all went down, plus he was an avid reader of my GT column like just about everybody else. I got banned from LVA shortly afterwards.
Now from a different angle mickey. We all know I have children, grandchildren, and a wife of nearly 40 years. I also had a very respectable job in the aerospace & defense industry after retiring from a 10-year hush-hush job with the Government. Then we have you-- an admitted drunken bum/hitchhiker/hobo who never had a female companion or family.
So you tell me---who's the real chump here? Either I'm the luckiest habitual liar, pretend story-teller, and most immoral puke this world has ever seen because of my ability to have and keep a loving family in the face of such blatant treachery....or I just tell it like it's unfolded.
Go ahead, struggle with this. You've earned the right.
