Also, it's a game of semantics. The original raffle says, "If I don't produce any albino this year..." A reasonable and prudent person would assume that he was referring to producing any albino BLUE tegus. After it begins to escalate, he says, "it says if I didn't produce any albinos, I did produce albinos [just not blue albinos]."

Michelle was willing to accept a purple, produced by Ty, and he told her no. So then she asked for the money, which the ad clearly states, is due if he can't deliver. He couldn't deliver.

I've never done business with Ty. I don't know Michelle. But, outside looking in, he's on the hook. Having a stellar reputation doesn't give you free reign to crap all over someone.
