Edit: Have removed all irrelevant drama, will post later a more relevant and clear post, which will better reflect the information of this serious issue.

Email section from Amanda to David Ting (cc:Gus, Bcc:djoaniel)

Amanda writes:
"Well apparently there's a stipulation in the law here that says I can't be jailed for collectibles"

full email
+ Show Spoiler +
Well apparently there's a stipulation in the law here that says I can't be jailed for collectibles but I can be held accountable for interest since it is a debt.(Which I breathe a sigh of relief)

I work in a travel agency and I must turn in the money owed to the airlines during the due date of the bank settlement plan. Basically if I don't turn in the full amount by the week of the 21st the agency I work for will be "closed" or will be blocked from issuing tickets from any airline to any destination until the amount is settled. Basically office operations will be stopped. Originally the amount was to have been settled by tomorrow (11 Nov) but I am trying to buy time and like atleast guarantee the office that amount can be settled.

I am well you can say somewhat the guarantor of the tickets. I asked permission to issue tickets and release in advance without receiving full payment yet. (this is not our usual practice unless its been a long time corporate account thats been dealing with us)

In Php it's Php 515,878 less the $ 7000 I approximately will still have a remainder to be paid which has to be settled by the due date.

The amount in the bills are non negotiable. (Sadly enough)

Please let me know what to do next and what will else be needed. As soon as the money has been transfered, I will scan the withdrawal slip and receipt that will prove that I have given the money to the accounting section of our office.

Thank you very much!

Statement from dox



My original blog (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=283600 - November 8th, 2011) was based on the information circulating the event, including the following quotes:

==========

Quote from TheGunRun:
Amanda post paid for the tickets with the agency, if Gus doens't pay her the agency can run after her and put her in jail.

==========

Quote from Dox:
This is a message from Amanda who is possibly facing jail if this is not resolved imminently:
"I issued a total of php 715,000 worth of tickets. 200,000 has been paid, so the outstanding debt is close to php 516,000. Told gunrun already and like im really hoping people in the community can help as being jailed is a possibility for me. I am connected to a travel agency that is why."

==========

I can't claim to know whether or not Amanda was actually at risk of facing jail. I have no reason to disbelieve it either. All I knew is what was reported. I wasn't at the event. I had nothing to do with the event. I was just another spectator watching as the events unfolded online.

what... Why even bring this up again. I mean I guess the community was wrong. But it was so long ago that no one cares really.

A year and a half later? This seems oddly suspicious. One would think this would have become a controversial, debatable issue if all of this actually came out at the time.

That is some pretty good evidence.

Still, why is this coming out now ?

This is pointless, let the past rest. Even though the community is wrong, that was close to 1 and a half years ago and isn't even remotely relevant anymore. There is no need for this here.

I'm not buying a single thing as of now. The money was mismanaged for sure as some of the players did not have any hotel rooms and had to live in the staff's house. I was there during the event and WHATEVER people say everything was poorly managed. Plus there's the issue of sickness being promised ram and salary which he never got.

better late than never

unfortunately for Gus Ledesma, his rep has been tarnished and he'll never want to/have the chance to host another e-sports event again.

Always interesting to see the underhanded/(unprofessional?) activities by everyone involved though!

it has taken me a few months to get all the information verified and compiled.

Gus wasn't able to come forward as it meant people would not get paid.
after he trusted me with the email accounts (that he froze)

i uncovered what Amanda did.

Gus had to sell his computer to put food on the table for his family, he lost his job and still too this day gets spit on if he enters a computer lab.

you can say i guess it is relevant to him.

The community needs to know the truth.

Dox was aware of stream cheating, but went ahead with the results. (This is the only information that is solely based on CD's verbal testimony and not a screenshot)


who stream cheated?

streamcheating part is the only thing that would be "nice to know" anything else is not relevant for me as esport guys are for the most part not trustworthy so no news for me there

This isn't a Marvel film, stop being so bloody melodramatic. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by digging all this up and the only new villain seems to be Amanda. Dox moved the date of an event back so the best Aussie could compete and was probably in the dark on the details (like flights) through having to communicate with the organisational black-hole that was Ledesma. Best not to forget that Gus is still largely responsible for the massive cock-up that was the actual event. The 'truth' sub-headings also make this look far from objective.

How the fuck is one person seeing 'tarossi' in a stream chat box evidence enough to lynch both rossi and dox? This is more of a hatchet job than the original drama.

Wow... Talk about two sides to every coin.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Sure, we can let old events stay in the past, or we can dig them back up and cover serious allegations of fraud, theft and clear the name of someone who has been severely damaged -- both personally and professionally because of the actions of others.

...

Nah, why the fuck would we want to do that?

I still can't believe how "Gus" handled things and acted 1½ years ago. Good grief that was painful.
