0 risk, says the guy who essentially sold a car and put it all on a single bet in a casino.

Yeah, 50 extra on your paycheck means you can go out 1 night. Most people are not taking that money and investing for essentially pennies over the course of a year. If you make enough that it's not just pennies of interest this makes sense but for a lot of people out there were talking a hundred or two at best

This is financially the best decision because you can invest the money each check... if you actually do that. If you are the type of person who looks at their bank before deciding they can go out that week to dinner, or get fast food on a whim and never seem to really be saving money, it is kind of a forced savings account that you can't touch. It's not just a 0% loan you gave to the government, if you save the money you would have spent otherwise that's your interest. Me personally 50$ a paycheck missing isn't hurting, it forces me to tighten my belt. What I do enjoy is getting 2300 lump sum. I'd of spent it on other things throughout the year, but now I can buy bigger things like a vacation.

I think @op's mistake is he's only playing with his money. What he really needs to do is get some overleveraged loans.

In case you didn't know, it stands for: too long ; didn't read.

You couldn't have handled it better. There's no winning with those people. If you send the money they'll just try and extort you again.

Chances are they won't send them, but even if they do you're the victim here, if your family or friends get your nudes just say you were blackmailed or scammed and it wasn't worth the money to try and stop them. If they still badger you... well they're the ones who decided to keep looking or bring it up

If they were a good deal or did legit good work, they wouldnt need to be knocking on your door saying how great their business is. You'd be seeing their work or finding them yourself.

Not anyone that i like

Thats technically true, and youre using that money to buy more money for less.

Hes still a major shareholder, he may be able to threaten selling his stock and tanking the company if they vote to out him.
