Jamie:
In all seriousness you bring up an excellent point.
You losing your job and having an issue with creditors is not the same as what Adam has done to David and Andrew.
You signed credit agreements on loans and other debts in which the companies you owed money agreed to terms in which you paid them back in installments over time and with interest. Those signed agreements also covered what would happen if you were unable to pay back those debts.
When David and Andrew bought those snakes from Adam, the agreement was totally different. They gave Adam that money for snakes and did not in any way agree to loan him that money to spend on other things, or to wait for three years on the delivery of their animals and not receive anything in return.
Two totally different scenarios which aren't even worth comparing, and frankly doesn't do the situation you were in any justice. You're not a thief Jamie, any inability you had in paying your bills was a potential understood eventuality in your agreement with your creditors.
The money in the David/Andrew/Adam issue has, for all intents and purposes, been stolen. That makes Adam a thief.
