I wish I had a friend like him only thing I would do differently is pay him back and appreciate his kindness!☺️

Hearing JM reading the text messages was hilarious. I could not stop laughing 😂

I can't get over knowing someone for 15 years and never seeing their face until today. That's shocking to me.

Some of these comments come down on them for gaming, but most folks spend literal hours on social media across apps, so stop throwing stones. These two seemed like nice guys. The defendant was straightforward about his circumstances and the plaintiff was trying to be a good, supportive friend. I personally think the new chic is in the plaintiff's ear and is influencing a lot of this. What the defendant said was a bad joke but it could have been worked through. When that girl is gone, they'll probably make amends.

“Half their lives playing video games” SHADE

These were gifts. He liked bragging about his stash and then cried for it back, after his feelings were hurt. Good grief.

Yeah, this was definitely a gift. The guy only wants the money back because they aren't speaking any longer. It's unfortunate but a gift is a gift not a loan.

Wait he loaned an "online" friend 4 grand? What are people thinking?

As a child of yahoo chat rooms , I can get how they were friends for 16 years. Few people have constants in their lives and they need to squash this ish.

When judge milian says that’s socialism BRUH I died laughing 😂

I think this young man is exceptionally generous. His girlfriend recognizes that. And she's not trying to share his wallet with anyone else. He was not manipulated he just has financial obligations to his girlfriend and she's tightening up his spending

One of my bosses told me “when you give money to a friend don’t expect it back but if it’s a loan always put it in writing.

"That's socializm, bruh..." 🤣

Why is a grown man giving another grown man money in any regard without expecting certain spoken or unspoken favors in return ? The entire relationship between them just seems truly weird to me 💯

If he want's to throw his 'stacks' in a direction... please, by all means GIFT me those stacks. lol

Why does it always mean someone is asking for money when they are telling their friends their problems. Isn't that part of being a friend? Doesn't mean they're asking for money maybe just venting to a friend.

This makes me feel like JM is the principle in high school with this case

Judge you're right! Human contact is precious😇

The plaintiff is extremely immature. He wants to blame the defendant for everything. He can't even handle constructive criticism. The Defendant is better off without him.

If he realized that he offended his friend he should have just apologized and just learn from his mistake.

me: immediately goes to the comments to see what mental gymnastics Adrian prince will go through to make this about women.

HA! You felt like you were manipulated into giving him money?! You were literally sending it to him without him even knowing you were gonna send it!! Grow up! He can thank the gf for pushing him into this lawsuit.

Ain’t never seen his face but gave him money . Where do y’all find these people?

Seems like the Plaintiff was trying to buy a friend….

As an internet kid that has made tons of great friends via the internet, I'm SURE the collapse of their friendship could have been avoided if there was some level of face-to-face interaction. They both took things way too personally.

What’s the word that Judge Mathis used? Dry begging. The defendant was dry begging and the plaintiff was feeding into it. What a shame!!

I am old and I have to say to my fellow old people. Stop thinking of things from your point of view as being the only legitimate point of view. Friendship needs no physical contact to be a strong friendship. Stop stigmatizing people for playing video games when you watch television for hours and see no problem with it. Stop attacking people with your boomer anger.

"I'm not racist. Thank you very much" that cracked me up, that was good

I have nurtured some really long and great friendships with people I met online playing video games. I am a gamer, a professional in my field, a parent and a husband, I only put gamer 1st because people like to like down on us and is the topic of this conversation. Just because you play video games does not mean you can be successful, everything in moderation of course.

I feel so bad for both these guys. The defendant didn’t ask for the money, he felt guilty & grateful for the money. The Plaintiff was trying to be a good friend and help him out. But when it comes down to it, they were gifts. The defendant didn’t ask for it. When he felt guilty, he said “I’m gonna have to try and pay this back”, you can tell he didn’t feel comfortable taking it but wasn’t in a position to decline it either. I hope they can become friends again.

Omg... Kevin sounds like a small child. Jordan seems so sweet and kind. Jordan never once asked for money, Kevin literally just threw money at him and now wants it back. It would be concerning to his future friends, beware... if he gives u anything then gets his little boy feelings hurt he will sue you.

I think he’s an exceptional person . This friend was his charity case . I think his girlfriend made him feel guilty and taken advantage of . Thats where the lawsuit comes from .

You could defer your student loans or you could do income based payments.

It sounds to me like he never had friends in real life and maybe he was having some hard times mentally a befriended a guy online . I am guilty of paying for everything for my friends and giving them monies for everything and then I soon see that they begin to expect me to pay for everything . I I turn get hurt and just cut the friendship altogether . Then they realize it start trying to offer me things just to get back in my good graces and then the old pattern of me paying returns . This guy just needs to find a true friend and stop trying to buy one . It never works , trust me 38 years of experience.

Sounds like a gift.

Helping a friend is taking them to a movie, getting them food. NOT loaning them almost 5k

definitely a gift. the fact he kind of backtracked and took him to court suddenly is weird all because of his girlfriend or something.. got in between that is bad. thats coming from a fellow gamer.

this is an odd case...

He was essentially buying someone to play with him. It's on the same level as a man buying gifts and paying for things for a lady so she will sleep with him

The defendant looks exactly how I’ve imagined ab unemployed gamer to look

Dude owes the 3K. The only thing ridiculous about his student loans is that he games more than work. He borrowed the money and it’s his responsibility to pay them back. Get a second part time job. Grow up, man.

Sad to see a long-term friendship end this way 💔

He had a very giving kind heart but equally very easily offended and his gf I’m sure feels great he cares about her feelings but she also should’ve told him not to sue because it’s ridiculous.

Hmm why did he think now after all this he wanted his money I don't understand this at all 🙄

I find it ironic that the judge has repeatedly spoken with clear condescension toward gamers. People have made millions through gaming professionally. Shame a long friendship ended.

well, at least the plaintiff will have a lot more money without a friend like that....

$3,000? AND he thinks it's a gift??? From a guy he's never met? what...it IS a one way street!! the defendant is a real taker.

plaintiff in the end admitted to being a massive liar. "He was being racist to my chinese girlfriend" and at the end "I just couldn't stand he wasn't being supportive of my life decision to travel the world" WHICH IS IT BUDDY? You lied to Millian because you thought it'd give you a better case if she thought he said something racist to your gf. He did not. You just adopted woke ideology and didn't like he said that some countries have things to look out for and that's absolutely true. No sympathy for plaintiff.

The game was a gift but the big money for the student loan was intentional. The Plaintiff wouldn't know about it if the defendant was talking about it to him. That should be paid back.

I have more friends online than in person. Might seem weird but your online friends don't require scheduling anything. Just chat when you can. Not as much drama with online friends.

Online friends for 15 years? Wow

Good day everyone..im gonna give you 80 bucks will you play with me😂😂😂she should of said thay a different way lol

hey everyone be safe hope all is doing well today 😄

There’s some serious lack of social awareness on both sides. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was neurodivergence. I feel bad because I don’t think either meant harm, but just didn’t really get it. Sad.

I think these 2 gamers played a game on us and people's court. Very clever boys. I don't believe the plaintiff gave him $5,000.

Watching these court cases, I’ve come to realize that a lot of people are cut *completely* different than I am. I was raised with the ideology of “”Neither a borrower nor a lender be”, and I have never, ever, EVER asked a friend for money. I wouldn’t even feel right allowing someone to give me money like that. Stand on your own two feet, and even if it wasn’t a loan, you should feel like crap letting another man support your lazy, game-playing arse.

It is like he is trying to buy his friends and when he doesn’t want to be friendly anymore he wants his money back

THE PLAINTIFF HAD HIS FEELINGS HURT WHEN HIS VIDEO "FRIEND" MADE THAT COMMENT I BELIEVE PERTAINING TO HIS GIRLFRIEND NOW THE DEFENDANT WAS ALL TO HAPPY TO BE ACCEPTING $$$ & GIFTS FROM A GUY I PERSONALLY WOULDN'T HAVE & IT'S NOT LIKE HIS NEEDS WE'RE TALKING ABT TELEVISIONS GAMES ETC NOT RENT FOOD HOSPITAL BILLS ETC GOOD CALL JUDGE

6:39 and I’m seeing that none of this was actually a loan. Dude had extra income and blessed his friend so he would have someone to play games with whenever he wanted.

Plaintiff was literally buying his friendship! Kind of sad really.

Online only friends... Not knocking it, I have some, but most are just ugh. So easy to lie, and the sad thing is, how many believe the lies.

This is sad 😒

There's nothing wrong with having friends online. But if you're going to send money, and you WANT IT BACK, you have to make sure that it's stated SOMEWHERE ~*CLEARLY*~.

OMG THIS GUY LEGIT SUED THIS GUY BECAUSE HE STOPPED PLAYING WITH HIM TF

It's sweet that they were both more upset about the racism than the money to be honest. I wonder if the girlfriend has been suggesting that he's being manipulated?

“I’m not a racist! All my friends who make the same racist jokes that I have made have never called me a racist!”

...The Plaintiff should have gone on Judge Mathis because he's the only TV Court Judge who recognizes 'dry begging' as a form of manipulation. ...But Judge Mathis has never applied that theory to anything but a romantic relationship.

Listening to the judge reading their messages is hilarious. To me it seems like they were genuinely friends and he sent money without being even asked and not the GF wants the money spent on her

One of the only times I'm convinced it was a gift over a loan.

Here's a thought. Never ever loan anybody money. If you just give it to them, then there is no expectation of a return! Loan=loss of friend & money, win=negative loss.

this should have been on doctor phil lol

Daaaaaang Who here "got fat stacks" and needs a good friend?

That's socialism bruh! I love Judge Millian. 😀

As a woman who plays online I am not surprised the defendant spewed racist remarks. Any person of color who has played online gaming has encountered racism via vocalizations at least once. A lot of those who frequent gaming online tend to be very ignorant and in many cases racist. The only reason the defendant probably has never been called out is because he lives in an echo chamber of people who act just like him. I am extremely doubtful that the defendant has traveled anywhere to be aware of any cultural differences other than the ones that he has seen online. The plaintiff however should have been smarter and not giving away his money to some guy who has never traveled to see him or offered for him to come and see him.

Lmao these the type of dudes who make it in life. 😝

The plaintiff wanted a sugar baby. He balked when he saw his face.

I would have asked the plaintiff if his girlfriend started this ……,

Good decision!!!!!!

It’s so crazy that with technology you can have a friend for over 15 yrs and have never met them 😮

So no one's going to talk about how the plaintiff looks like Freddie Highmore when he plays as Shaun Murphy

Paying for friendship is never a good idea

If you want to be repaid, you need to make an agreement before you give the person the money. And if they're going to repay you when they get their taxes back, make sure you clarify that even if they don't get it for some reason, they still owe you the money, and the money will be due at that point. People would save themselves a lot of time and money if they would just research what you can sue for, successfully, and what you can't.

Good lord people work if you need money.

I’m willing to bet the defendant has never traveled internationally, and yet, he shares his wisdom about the dangers of traveling to asian countries. Super helpful I’m sure🤣😂😅

He looks like Chastity Bono. And dude, get a job McDonalds pays about $18 an hour.

We all know what happened here. Got himself a first taste and lost his mind.

This whole episode made me giggle, gamers are secretly good comedians (some of the time)

I agree it wasn't a loan. But the comments were racist.

I have friends from the internet that ive known for over 20 yrs and my family lost our pets, our home and vehicle in 2011 because of Hurricane Irene....2 of my friends sent us money and a phone to use while we were homeless for 55 days...Once we found a place a group of my internet friends put together a goodie box with food and gift cards...I asked if they wanted me to pay them back they all sent me a card stating it was a gift and they were all glad my family were alive and they helped us out etc....Matter of fact the friend from BC that wired money to our account asked how much we got and she and her husband were mad...it wasnt even close to what they wired to us because of currency rates etc...I was like its ok we are so thankful that you sent it...We never asked for anything cause were not like that....Im still friends with all of them but 2 because they passed away....I never met them in person but we video chatted on yahoo every day...

Baby goes, BooHoo Poor me. Grow up dude you bought stuff for a friend. Friends can be unsupportive and remain a friend just don't tear a friend down personally when you disagree. Friends can agree to disagree

I work and go to school full time, and stream video games. Instead of going out to parties and what not I like to play my game and talk to my friends. Everybody has their own hobby, stop shaming us gamers. I grew up playing videos games so I’m going to continue to grow up playing video games 😘

Tis love, Tis Love! The defendant wanted to play more than video games with the plaintiff!

Hey guys let it go and get back to the grind!!!

Plaintiff sounds like he was bribing him forcing him to game with ‘‘em then all of a sudden plaintiff gets a gf and wants to go about his ways traveling? Of course he ain’t gonna support you after you forced him to do what you wanna do. TF outta here.

His friend made a joke, he's not racist. People are such babies 👶

Aww I have a heart for these two. Kevin is probably on the spectrum and sounds incredibly generous and equally hurt. I hope they become friends again and the defendant can give him a little cash if he has it down the road

This is the first time I’ve noticed Doug speak empathetic to the defendant.

He was dry begging & took advantage of him. Pay him bck.

I’m sorry he can’t take advantage of his generosity if he never actually asked for anything l he’s takes freely given money into a lawsuit because their not friends anymore

JORDAN YOUR ATM IS CLOSED
