I would like to hear Simon's side of the story. However the question remains, if he is even willing to tell the truth.
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

Well it looks like the community will bail out Quantic on this one with all their donations to Hyun. Truly a sad thing to see.

This community is so blinded by their desire to help Hyun and "do the right thing" that they are actually doing the opposite.

Stop donating and bailing Quantic out people. This is beyond insane. We have to pursue Quantic and get some answers from Simon.

Holy fuck.. I'm speechless... who the fuck would/could do this and live with himself? I thought that we were past this kind of bullshit happening but I guess there are plenty of assholes in "business" still.. stealing money from players who earned it, despicable

Lets help Hyun smile in the mean time: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=439725

But Simon still needs to pay in more ways than one!

Lol......This has to be a joke post. Quantic Simon/Sambuca is a known scumbag. What more does he have to say? He's pulled so many scams over the years in multiple games. You really think this case is any different? Why do you think he went into hiding? Your mentality only hurts the community and Hyun.

You're owed $23000?
That's okay Hyun, you play zerg. You'll make more.

Okay, kidding.
I hope Hyun gets his money.

Lol I love how the consensus of this thread seems to be "poor HyuN, no point in even trying to get his 23k$ back".

Real life story: in my 3rd world country of Poland, my mom was scammed for fucking 600 PLN (<200 USD) on Allegro (Polish equivalent of eBay). She sued the scumbag, got her money back, never had to pay anything (the seller had to). But HyuN should just forget about his 23k, move to another team and be scammed again.

Canada must be a horrible place to live.

There is a small but notable difference between your case and Hyun's. For one we do not know on what terms those 23k got to Simon in the first place.


Of course there is a huge difference, but assuming that the story presented in this thread is true, there is NO WAY IN HELL that Simon would get away with that money, as long as HyuN doesn't give up (which this thread seems to suggest). And assuming that Canada is not barbaric.

By canadian law he needs to claim anything over 1000 and pay taxes on anything transferred over 10k so i can see WHY he was doing things the way he was with the x amount of 950 payments, that doesnt mean i think its right.

Be that as it may, everyone deserves an opportunity to explain themselves. Prejudice on a serious accusation before all testimony is presented is actually a very negative quality to have as a community member anywhere.

And everywhere else. I've been cheated out of a (albeit almost insignificantly small in comparison to this) sum of money by a previous swimming team, and I know many other athletes have similar stories. It's just that in major sports, a large number of trustworthy and (for the most part) professionally run teams have emerged because there has been more time (and incentive) for them to do so. Esports is still a new thing and it's not particularly strange that a lot of would-be businessmen jumped on the train hoping it would lead to easy money and now jump shit because that wasn't the case.

If I were accused of essentially stealing over twenty thousand dollars, I'd be very quick to get on the internet and explain the situation. Since Simon is yet to do so (and hasn't for months), and bearing the fact that Simon has proven himself untrustworthy and unprofessional in the past, this is one of those cases where we can be pretty sure what the "victim" is saying is the truth.

That's a mighty fine offer, I hope it gets read by the right persons
Best of luck to Hyun, it's a shame we seem to have so many shady people in eSports.

Holy fucking shit!
This Simon guy seems like a complete piece of shit.

I don't use twitter, but you who do should give him a piece of your mind:
https://twitter.com/QuanticSamBuca

Obviously no death threats and stupid shit like that, but he needs to understand you just don't treat people like this. He's either extremely selfish, a misanthrope or lacks any and all empathy. Or all of it.

I keep getting surprised by how incredibly callous people can be, but I guess I shouldn't be. Psychopaths and megalomaniacs always seem to find their way to the top, abusing the trust of everyone around them. So here's a big FUCK OFF to all of them, with a special mention to Simon Boudreault.
