Hindsight is 20/20

No drugs, just a hard life lesson on my end.

Hell i don't even drink anymore, almost 2 years sober.

To answer what's been said:

I TRADED him 2, *two* vehicles, for one real ****ty van. I had an awesome chance to move myself and my family out of an abusive living situation. I came to him with minutes to spare, and he was nice enough to oblige. I gave him my '73 F150, and that car that was mentioned, that yes, regretably did have a loan on it. (wife at the time took out the loan, without me knowing). We wrote something up SUPER DUPER QUICK. Like, on a napkin, or something. Basically saying that i traded these 2 vehicles for this van. If it did mention money, man i really don't think it was for the Van, i think it mightve been from a personal loan.

As for the vehicle being dumped: I was going through a very hard time in Washington. Real life hit me, head on. I did have an awesome job. My Wife at the time left me, and stole the van. I ended up buying another vehicle and just writing her off. It doesn't surprise me that she would dump it somewhere, i'm sure she broke something on it.

Oh, btw, i only have 1 dui, more than 10 years ago, and as i said big guy, 2 plus years sober. I chew tobacco still, and ****in love energy drinks. Thems my vices lol.

Now for him painting himself to be the hero:

He neglected to mention that yes, he did hit me up on his second account, named "Buster Hymen". Threatening me with sharing nude pictures, publically and all over the internet, of my wife, if i didn't pay him xxx amount of money. I informed him that what hes doing is called revenge porn, and unless he wants the feds involved, and a broken jaw, **** off. He then ****ed right off.

NOW, today

I'm not in Idaho, nor am i in washington. I do believe he mentioned in one of his super mean emails about taking a road trip to see me here in nevada, saying that he has my address. Only thing i can say about that, is if you do show up to the property, do it in kindness, unarmed.

I'm since divorced, a shell of a man, working some ****ty labor job. I have custody of my son (btw i had a son!) he's 5. My ex wife got my daughter. It all sucks, and honestly im in a deep depression that i don't see myself coming out of anytime soon. I think of suicide daily. ( i know dont do it, think of your son, etc. i know). I don't sleep, when i do, i see my ex wife. i re live all those times we had that were amazing. I wake up crying and as low as i could be. Like i said, most days are a struggle and i don't see it really getting any better. The good thing is i have my sobriety. Oh, and no warrants lol. I have no idea what that twitter comment is about. I havent tweeted in 10 years? idk.

Anyway. Mark if you're reading this, if you can find that peace of paper we wrote up, id be interested in seeing what we wrote down. I DONT want to **** you, man. I DONT want to be dishonest with you. You've been a great friend to me, we've had some awesome times and done some crazy things. I believe in one of our email strings, i told you that id make it right, just give me a reasonable amount, and ill make payments too you. Right now i'm living in a ****ty 2 bedroom apartment with just me and my son. Not living in luxury at all. But like i said, if i do infact owe you money, id like to talk about it and make it right.

Very respectable to own up to debts owed and not just vanish off the face of the earth.

Trading a car with a loan on it is shifty for sure and very likely fraud. Not paying for a car after taking it is theft. So you stole from and defrauded this person, regardless of how ****ty life was going for you, those are just the facts from what it looks like was said here.

It seems they may have gotten overly steamed and made some threats towards you after that.

It would be super neat if you guys came to an agreement that works for both of you.... The seller has probably written this off as its been years so ANY money in retrobution should be welcomed, especially since you could have ran off and never came back (essentially what you did from then til now).

I've often seem people do weekly payment plans (like $50/wk until paid off) or barter in situations like this.

As i said, i didnt know their was a loan on it. And no, you're very wrong. I didnt steal from anyone. No vehicle was taken without being paid for. Like i said i traded 2 vehicles for a ****ty 400 dollar van.
