Regardless of the mistake of paying friends and family the guy is just stating his case and at least the rest of us know about another guy to avoid. Let’s ease up and stop the finger pointing. The track I race at is where he frequents. I would show up and confront him in a calm manor. Lesson learned but if he can get his money back that would be great. I know the other party of this dispute has seen the thread , so dude let’s go . Make it right , the guy showed faith and paid you. Do the right thing
