Sinking a Friendship 

Just because he’s tall doesn’t mean he can’t be intimidated. Her husband is tall and I don’t think he could bust a grape 😂

I can see how the old man can be intimidated by the other guy, the other guy is very greedy greedy greedy greedy

I absolutely hate the "friend or no friend" thing. The plaintiff destroyed a 20 year friendship for $500

The plaintiffs wife looks like she was being held prisoner

I hate the argument that just because you are a tall person that you aren't under duress. Just because you are big, or tall, doesn't mean you handle conflicts well and can fight. You can feel threatened and worry for your own safety and the safety of your family.

This case was like a bad day in the accounting office 😵‍💫

Plaintiff acts like a total control freak, what he says goes and you can forget about it,he’s a one way street and that girl looks terrified

Maybe I'm just too tired to think clearly right now but the judge's math seems wrong on this one. They both initially invested $750.00. The defendant then paid the plantif a total of $2250.00. Ignoring the repair costs, the defendant has now made a total investment of $3000.00 in the boat (his original $750.00 + $2250.00). He sold it for $3400.00 earning a profit of only $400.00. Either way you look at it, the judgement ended up with the plantif receiving a total of $2826.00 from a $3400.00 sale. That sure doesn't seem like a fair and equal profit to me.

the judge messed that ruling up.

The girl with the plaintiff is either mortified to be on tv.....or she's being held against her will. Anyone else notice that?

Both of these guys are special.

Plaintiff needs to stop using words he has no idea how to use. At the end, when talking to moderator. “He proves he’s being libel to me!”

This case is stupid! Plaintiff shouldn't get anything

The plaintiff gives off money hungry.. sorry to say.

What a long boring case, the plaintiff is petty

Certain things you should never do with a friend and buying a large purchase is one of those things.

The plaintiff is petty…just petty. He is a sad little man. I Per the agreement…plaintiff got too much IMHO

I think the judge got this one wrong

She neglected to take in the fact that the Defendant had an initial invbestment of 1000 dollars. He should of gotten 75.00

Should have had him sign a receipt that said this supercedes all previous agreements. Simple and done.

She looks scared to death!!!

OMG Judge!! 3400/2 = 1700 each. But defendant already paid 1500 to plaintiff, so judgement should be 200. There. Fixed it. The accounting of input costs are all equal (repairs, purchase) so the math is easy here. Or .... 3400 - 2000 = 1400 profit or 700 each. Profit _ input costs = 700 + 1000 = 1700 each. P already paid 1500=> 1700-1500= 200 judgement! There fixed it again. Yes, I'm a CPA

I just don't trust the Plaintiff. He comes off of a money grabbing liar

The winner doesn't think he's a terrible person , but everybody else does

Well that boat sailed😂

The plaintiff gives "I'll fight you" vibes. He's girlfriend looks frightened too. I can totally understand the defendants "duress".

I get irrationally irratable when listening to certain plantiffs and defendants. These guys both sound so whiny and privileged at the same time it hurts

defendant knew the dude he was selling it to was going to immediately turn around and sell it again for more and he would make money again. they worked it out beforehand for sure.

The plaintiff is using words he doesn’t understand

Both old men are a mess after all these years. Took advantage of each other over a boat.

The defendant said: "I've seen him by his own actions, I seen his character, and I no longer wanted him around my son." The defendant not wanting the plantiff around his six year old son tells me he discovered something new about the plantiff that he no longer trusted him. Perhaps the way he treats his wife, who knows. They both were being careful what they said about each other.

Sounds like EGO, ED and COKE 👩🏿‍⚖️

They ended their friendship over $576.00!

What is up with lady with plaintiff? Blink if you need help!

"Proof is what I go on, dude!" Every judge needs a shirt that says that 😆

That was longest exit interview I’ve ever seen, good grief. 😩And to those saying the girl looked distressed; she might not even speak English that well and just really doesn’t want to be there on national TV.

If the plantiff was paid and 'bought out', he is owed nothing more! Zero.

I’ve never seen Doug at a loss for words 🤣🤣🤣. Normally he’s good with wrapping up little tantrums.

The plaintiff has a desperation in his eyes. He was willing to lose a friendship to snake a little more money out of a deal.

My Dad told me a long time ago that you don’t have friends when it comes to money. Things like this don’t work out well too often.

Just because a man is taller doesn't mean he is a fighter .. The shorter guy looks like a tough guy with a temper !!! Sadly this was a bad idea as it ruined a friendship !!

Once he bought him out that was a done deal.. This is crazy.

This is one of the reasons why I would never buy anything with anyone

Judge is earning her pay today. 🙄

They should have sold the boat(to someone they didn't know)and split the profit, done deal. That way, there are no hard feelings, that one made more money than the other. Common sense. This whole deal seems more complicated than it needed to be. The Defendant claiming "duress" and fear for his family make me think HE DID pull something shady. They were supposed to be friends for goodness sake.

All this math just baffles me. Ugh.

Does the plaintiffs lady know this is a court and inappropriate wardrobe?

This case was so confusing I think neither should get a dime. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Can’t believe this petty case of two grown men for $500

The math is wrong!!! What happened to the defendant's original $1000 put in the boat. That should have been subtracted before calculating the profit

Snake move ?? Man cut his losses and got double investment with no room for liabikity foh

I know everyone thinks the girl looks scared but I thought Doug looked a little intimidated by the real tall guy.

Lose a friendship for $500

All that over $500

Someone please explain this to me, bc the calculations are off to me. They spent 1000 each to buy and fix the boat. He sold it for 3400, so the profit is 1400. But he gave the man 1500+750 (2250)... so out of the 3400, the plaintiff got 2250 while the defendant got 1150. The plaintiff received 1250 in profit (2250 minus his 1000 investment), while the defendant received only 150 in profit (1150 minus1000 investment)... But I also believe he did pay the additional 450 to fix it, so he basically paid in 1450, while only receiving 1150 (meaning he's in the negative 300, before the judgement)... Or did I miss something completely? Either way, the defendants lack of anger and reaction at the end makes me believe he did in fact sell the boat for way more profit than he admitted. I bet he already had a buyer when he made the deal for 1500+750 in the contract, and knew he would make a large profit. If he lost profit or ended up in the negative, then he would have been quick to point it out, which he didn't.

I wish I worked with them! 😂😂😂

I watched 2 seconds and came here and seriously no comments about the plaintiff forehead? Fr? Ok

I do it often. 😂 great response to Doug.

I don't think the plaintiff is very bright 😮

This was a very civilized case. They seem like decent, honest men.

Whÿ would plaintiff get $2825, out of $3400 sale....and he gets $575!!!!!

You made yourself look bad by being MONEY HUNGRY PERIOD !

Plantiff’s wife looks scared SOS…?

Folks wear anything in this court. Judge Judy would not allow it at all

Lost their dignity for $540.00.

Plaintiff: Boehoe i want money😢

Maybe it’s me, but the plaintiff’s attitude seems a little off when answering questions or even describing the circumstances.

Lmao the plaintiff 100% lied when she asked if he trusted Aaron’s word because he knew he would get less money. What a sleaze

The plaintiff looks like Ray Liotta (a little bit).

Does she not realize she is in court? That get up that she has on is for night clubs. She looks ridiculous.

How tall are you? 6'5 😂😂😂😂😂

Such repetitive testimony! And shame on the judge for her statement that, due to his height, the defendant shouldn't have been intimidated by the plaintiff (not that I believe that he was). People can - and do - hurt others who are bigger. Or a smaller person could have a crackpotted personality, and be the type to burn another person's home if they're angry.

That's the shirt she decided to wear to court?!

The boat guy totally third saled it to avoid paying lol

Once again money ruined a long term relationship and for such a small amount too...

Bet he has a temper 😅

It is obvious the "old man" is a complete liar. He could have just split the profit. People they work with all were a part of this whole thing. The boat was sold at the profit of 6500.00.

Plaintiff is rather simple isn’t he.

Just because someone is taller than someone, does not mean a smaller statured person can not be intimidating and threatening!! Cone on Judge that attitude is ridiculous!

I’m confused. If they paid $1500 for it. And sold it for $3400 in my brain the most the plaintiff could get would be $200

Plaintiff looks and sounds a bit like Michael from GTAV

This plaintiff...swear to god karma is going to get him so bad

Why he got an attitude?

Judge M, the size of the man has nothing to do with his ability to defend himself unless he is trained in self-defense. In addition, size has not boundaries if weapons are involved not to mention threats to one's family. That argument doesn't hold water. The defendant could definitely feel duress. The plaintiff is 100% intimidating - his stance, his facial expression.

He's lying on Aaron to get as much as he can. Wow.

The defendant was lucky to get away from this leech!

How the hell did the plaintiff get $576?! The math is not mathing!!!!! 3400/2=1700 He was paid 1500 At most he would get $200! How the hell did she come up with her numbers! That’s insane!

Both these guys need some Midol for their crankiness

Sorry Judge, your math on this is terrible! He sold the boat for 3400 AFTER he bought out the other guy. That would be all his profit and his right to profit.

The plaintiff reminds me of a little kid who looks at cups side by side and complains because one has a hair more. Booo

Heyyyyy I’m right on time !!!! ❤

1000 each in costs to bu it so he paid plaintiff 500 extra so he is out 2500 so far the boat sold for 3400 so he made a profit of 800 so half is 400. If that document of 2250 is correct then the defendant paid 3250, and profited 150 half is 75.

Why didn't Judge call Chris?

A twenty year friendship in the trash over a few dollars. Sad. Odd agreement in that written document that any FUTURE profits will be split. That's what the document said. Who knows if the defendant pulled a fast one. But the plaintiff didn't have proof for court.

Plaintiff was def a greedy/not good “friend.”

Size means nothing. I don't think the defendant was afraid of the plaintiff, but the judge should know size doesn't matter.

I’m kinda confused on this verdict. How is the plaintiff entitled to even $1 if he admits he allowed the defendant to buy him out? Oan that lady with him definitely looked like something was bothering her. Then again I watch too much crime tv so maybe I’m paranoid😂

Wait..6yr old son.... He's old enough to have grandsons

Girl, blink if you need help 😮😮

Plaintiff comes off a dhead
