This was his last tweet on twitter. I'm surprised quantic management didn't look into it immediately after seeing this kind of tweet because If I saw this I would immediately find out what is going on. | ||

Burn Controllers, ROCCAT and Alienware won't ever receive my business after this. I realize they aren't at fault, but they have some responsibility in this seeing as how their name and brand is attached to Quantic. | ||

Scam like this existed always, it existed in 2012, in 2011, in 2010 and before too. This is nothing new and happens more than you think. | ||

I always thought it was given to the players directly after the tournament in the form of a cheque or transferred from one bank account to another. I think the way money is distributed by tournaments needs changing and especially after this incident. Simon convinced hyun saying that he can apply for tax waiver, so 15% less tax if it was done by team, whether this was truth or not. | ||

Is it standard practice for prize money to be sent to team/manager, rather than the player directly? Seems kinda fucked. | ||

Someone should also contact the RCMP on Hyun's behalf, maybe this is fraud under Canadian law? Lol. I dont think the RCMP has that authority in Quebec. I dont know if this would be fraud or if he is just another creditor of a business that went belly up... But in all honesty, I dont think he will ever get his money back, sadly. It would probably involve him fronting massive amounts of cash to pay for a trial that takes forever at the other end of the globe in a language he doesnt understand. Meanwhile, fat fuck Boudreault would do his best to delay the procedure and make sure Hyun runs out of cash before they can get a verdict. about the outcry on prize money: isnt it standard for korean teams to keep the majority of the prize money earned by a player? | ||

Would be great if any major TL personalities decided to lead it I would help if the fund was to pay for lawyers and shit to put this simon guy in jail. | ||

Seems kinda fucked. Already discussion about this but MLG and IEM does pay to the players directly, Dreamhack pays whoever claims it (as long as the claimer has rights) -- in this case, the team claimed it.

Quantic probably told Hyun it would be best if they did it for him. | ||

That's why we need a strong organization like KeSPA to protect and guarantee players' and owners' stakes, but they can only try to do it in Korea. We can never have a strong organization on international stage, unless SC2 grows into another tennis. How can a teenager with no money pursue a lawsuit against a businessman from a country on the other side of the world? Those money are most likely gone for Hyun, poor Hyun, liked him as a mediocre zerg for a long time in BW. | ||
