In this case though, someone was giving him money to take out...so that he can send it. Still sketchy, but a bit harder to think you could be wronged.

It's actually pretty classic. Just like if someone asked you to cash a check for them. If you do, and the check comes back bad later, you're on the hook as the one who cashed it.

Just a slightly more complex version of the above.

yet another reminder that you never *loan* money to a friend without a contract...either gift it or legal document ftw >_>

I don't get what happened here. I tried reading the Xanga page but my head nearly exploded.
