Vedran Premuzic - warning to do business with him

Used to be good friends with Vedran Premuzic - started off being very helpful to new twitch streamers & was always available when I had tech difficulties - which is why I let him get away with the things below for so long. Over the years, things got so bad that it compelled me to make this thread. He betrayed me in multiple ways:

1) I Staked him on Pokerstars MTTs for 5k USD ($33 abi); he immediately quit after losing 1.6k when he realized every $ won at that point would only cover my losses & that he'd be better off working on graphics for Bill Perkins/Doug Polk etc. Of course, he would tell me that he wasn't done with playing poker, that he just didn't have enough time for continuing to play. The deal was very good for him as it didn't have a Make-up clause & was supposed to be a long-term staking/coaching deal.

2) Not sending back the remaining 3.4k bankroll & (I strongly have to assume this) cashing it out from Pokerstars to use it for private purchases/other business. Upon multiple requests he would find reasons why he couldn't send back the money, such as having p2p limitations on Stars/not having a common payment provider.

3) Instead of sending him money for his thumbnails/graphics work, I would deduct it from the 3.4k bankroll that he didnt send back (around 2k USD got cleared that way, resulting in 1.49k balance in 2024). It wasn't what I wanted, but better than nothing. It was when he further reduced his availability & multiple times forgetting that I requested a thumbnail & Twitter blocked me that I finally had enough of his bs.

These are the facts - of course I do have chat logs to back this up.

Personally I believe Vedran to be workaholic (and is suffering as a consequence), so he can entertain his buying addiction of things like new car(s)/real estate. It's sad that such a rich guy (he made a ton of money) can't swallow his pride and just send me the 1.5k he owes and never talk to me again as he clearly lacks the availability these days to provide his replacement value for the staking $ he never wanted to return to me.
