Halfway to $100,000

I heard about this bet. I believe the real interesting part of the bet is the amount. 100,000k isn't life changing money to them so it makes it easier to back out.

Not sure if I could do it or not. I do know I have no interest in trying. Good luck to him.

The guy on the outside paid the guy in the darkness $62,500 to end it. After 20 days, the outside guy realized the inside guy wasn't even close to cracking, so they negotiated, and the outside guy figures he saved $37,500 paying him off to end the bet.

That's one tough SOB who sat in there for 3 weeks, and then had to be paid to end the bet.

He was probably hiding from some bookie or loan-shark.

Hopefully the $62.5K covers it.

I wonder if the people outside that bet amongst themselves had a buy-out clause/option.
