Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app I think I read that his bookie told him to do it. He owed the guy a bunch of money and did that in place of paying the debt. The SEC is going after the bookie and not Phil so thus he is a "relief defendant."

RoverRick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I think at first he was going to be charged but his lawyers worked out a deal And why do you think that? This has been going on for long time. They said months ago that Phil was not the suspect. The SEC referred to Mickelson as a so-called relief defendant. A relief defendant is someone who has received property obtained illegally but is not directly accused of wrongdoing. The headline that came out yesterday is salacious and deceitful and for the Judge to start a topic with that title tells me he did not read the story before repeating it.

The dude had a massive debt to a big time bookie and knowingly went through with insider trading but no worries bc he's good guy Phil. Personally I don't give a crap either way but be objective man. You can't hate on Tiger for stuff away from the game but think Phil is beyond doing wrong. He cut a deal, that's it. This was illegal. He weaseled his way out of it. Good for him at the end of the day but good God be objective for once. This wasn't like he was just grouped in by chance and bad luck.

RoverRick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 This seems like a lot of money to regular people. But look at it in percentages. Phil has earned $80,000,000 on tour and has a net worth of $180,000,000. Compared to someone who makes $50,000 per year for 25years having a total earnings of $1,250,000. Their net worth will most likely be nowhere near their total earning and certainly not double. But $2.4M out of $180M is 0.013333. Equivocal to $16,667 for the guy making $50 k per year. The difference is this doesn't effect Phil's rent money. He's not having to say "Sorry girls, no new shoes cause daddy lost a $17k bet."

RoverRick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 As far as comparing Phil to Tiger, I must admit that I am just as shocked to learn Phil likes to gamble as I was that Tiger likes women. Neither revaluation really matters. Phil's reputation has always dedicated family man who was a generous tipper and liked to gamble and play for money. Not exactly a unique attitude for a golfer. Tiger's reputation is just the opposite. Once again, not terribly unique.

I'm not an idiot, I don't think hat Phil is totally innocent here, and he is not totally forgivable, but he has not been charged. Should he have been charged, maybe, but that's not for us to decide. He has not been charged, and has been cleared, maybe down the road it's different, but right now he has been cleared, you say he knowingly went through with insider trading, yet the SEC says differently, i think at the very least the name of the thread should show the truth, this is something that MGS prides itself in, the Truth, the truth is that he was not charged he has been cleared.

He is no less guilty than he was before, he just gets lucky bc they only make him pay back the money and small fine. Look I like Phil, I just find it interesting who people get all riled up for if you say something negative about them (even if its true). Yet those same people talk about how someone else is such an awful person and won't hear anything positive said about them (even if it's true).

Fireinthehole Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Seems like the SEC just wanted to go for the head of the snake and get people to flip and cooperate. Mickelson is essentially pleading no contest to avoid further problems or direct admission of guilt.

Doesn't change the fact that he did it. They just aren't doing anything about it bc he is cooperating and he isn't the biggest fish.
