Here is the reason why
I am letting a neutral party finalize my decison. I vote for them to be removed until Lenny returns money to Jimmy. For the 50th time I think Cascade is a fine book but has to do right thing here and pay and if not they should be removed from site until they pay. Kenny make the right decison here. I am head mediator of this case.

I made comments about this when it happened who knows how long ago, and it isn't really about the money actually. The FACT that they CHANGED their rules AFTER this happened is a bigger issue. I said the same thing 2 years ago.
I also touched on something that jim said himself here. Back then Cascade wasn't the great place it is now, or is supposed to be. So why not leave a game or two up a little longer than normal?
If the guys loses great take the money and you get this, an issue that most people are going to see as THE BETTOR taking the shot, not the other way around. But saythe bets wins, then they cite rule xyz and don't pay the bet.
It is a win win for the book.
I am not saying this is the case here, just as I said it back then. But that is why there are rules that HAVE to be followed TO THE LETTER. It keeps EVERYONE honest.
I don't care how much money someone has, or how they live their lives, in times of desperation people do stupid things. They get greedy or desperate. Aces Gold ( I hate using that as an example but it is the case study in this sort of thing) NOONE, and I repeat NO ONE thought they would fail. All the time I was saying be careful and to watch them for offering outrageous lines and increasing their limits simultaneously. People laughed and said they had more money than God, and yada yada yada. 6 weeks later these same guys are crying on every forum on thenet about money they got screwed out of.
This is old news, and apparently new ownership has taken over. But then again that doesn't seem to exhonerate BOS either from past indeiscretions. Doesn't really matter the dollar amounts inviolved, the act itself, and subsequent trying to "cover it up" is the paramount issue in all this.
