Bill you make it hard for me to dislike you. I dislike what you did, and I am pissed you let it go on this long. However, you have to be one of the nicest and non-confrontional guys that I have ever seen get busted. I hope you make it right for Lee. Making it right should not be just about getting him his money. You see, you cast doubt on Lee and his word, you lied to all of us, and most importantly, you made Ben yell at Wendy who was loyally defending you.
Seriously, I think the first thing you really need to do is to put some thought how you can make this right for Lee, and then secondly us.
