In this case DD is essentially acting like a ticket scalper. And since DD screwed themselves, is there even a law broken?


No idea, I'm not a lawyer. But in the original post he mentioned that he "cut a deal" with the restaurant, which to me suggests that he got the $5k back, possibly in cash, from the restaurant. If he then pockets to tax he saved, that smells like tax evasion.

He then tweaked his story to say that this cost him $5k. Why did he say he was cutting a deal then?


I think he’s saying the owner will comp him deliveries. Not pay him back.


Ah, I overlooked the "free pasta for the year", thank you


You make a great point. They also mention they are an options trader on wall street, so $5000 easily could be throwaway money for a double-good cause


The person who posted the comment about $5000 pasta is not the same as the person who wrote the article (who mentioned trading).


Haha, thank you, I wasn't thinking
