    His story is that he did take the deal. But they never paid the money.

    Their story is they took the deal; but he didn't have the contracts.

    You don't get paid for ideas. Ideas are a dime a dozen.

    You get paid for results. Period.

    Guy was lucky to get anything.

    Only slightly better than Peter Windsor. If his dad hadn't been friends with Bernie, he have nothing.

    ^^^ This is the universal truth in business. Anyone can think up a great idea, and most people have. Execution is everything. And people who can execute are way harder to find than people with good ideas.
