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.
