I agree! Both of these guys seem like upstanding honest guys who got caught in a scam. Hope the plaintiff somehow recovered his losses, and hope they restored their friendship.
I believe the defendant. He didn’t stumble over his words not once while telling his story. Plus, the plaintiff is ungrateful and I think the defendant is hurt that his “friend” would think he stole his money.
Since the Plaintiff was obviously able to get on a flight and travel from Chicago to NYC overnight, then he should have completely left his "friend" out of this transaction! The Plaintiff should have spoken to the seller of the car and got on a flight and arrived in Brooklyn and made this car purchase HIMSELF!!!
just bc u have the money for things don’t mean u want to spend it or is it responsible to spend it. that could’ve very well burnt his pockets this is an ignorant comment
@@jaylawashington3162 yet he expected his friend to take multiple HOURS of his day to go from the Bronx to Brooklyn to assist him with buying a car and he didn’t compensate his friend ANYTHING. So the plaintiffs time and money is valuable but the defendant’s time is NOT? THAT is ignorant.
@@HTAnderson76 he ASKED his friend ava good friend agreed! the expectations started after an agreement was made and rightly so bc i gave u my money! it’s upsetting he’s just out over 3000$ and no one has to pay him back
Odd how all of those "people" outside agreed that he should have to pay back money that he was robbed of. This is the exact reason that we always need a jury of peers.
@@GloriousJohn316I could transcribe this conversation verbatim. Born and raised in Florida, cant speak any foreign languages. The accents ARE beautiful 😘
I believe him. The seller that up. I heard this happened so many times in nyc. Luckily he didn’t get seriously hurt. It’s dangerous purchasing stuff from people you don’t know.
How come the plaintiff was able to fly into new york from chicago in a moments notice but not to make his deal for a car he would eventually have to pick up anyways. I Believe the defendant because the plaintiff actually talked to the seller to confirm that he was there with him. Why he didnt take the money and leave the car then was suspect. Defendant was set up by them because that was a foolish deal to start with.
I believe the defendant. So now does the plaintiff. What I did not hear was an apology for wrongly accusing him. The friendship was sold for cash that never showed up.
I believe the defendant. First off who hands over $3600 to a friend to buy a car? A car they never saw in person and didn't meet the seller? Also, if he was going to rob his friend what was the point in meeting the seller? I'm not sure if the planitff was involved or if he got robbed by someone simply watching, but I believe the defendant.
One of the very first things the plaintiff said was that the defendant, who lives in the Bronx, lives a few blocks away from him. The plaintiff was in Chicago on a trip, he doesn’t live there.
Some of the best deals I've gotten when buying a car from a private seller was out of state. Market prices can be different depending on location, especially if you live in an expensive state like I do(MA). It can be inconvenient and sometimes even a waste of time if after traveling far, the vehicle isn't what you thought it would be. But if you ask the right questions and take the right precautions, you can make out really good.
At first I was skeptical about this story but the way he explains has a ring of truth to it. Also no good deed goes unpunished it probably was just his luck he doing something for someone else and this happens lol. They put the car for 3600 they all split it 3 ways
It’s not often you see someone with integrity like the defendant. I was really impressed with his honesty and his sense of self-respect. He seems like a really good man.
Why not just send the money to the seller himself if you choose to purchase the car, at least for a paper trail if the car was no good when you did get home to see it for yourself. The plaintiff is definitely the master mind.
The seller was definitely in on it. You're getting ready to make $3200 in about 5 min. The guy said he was next in line, and you all of a sudden can't wait and have to leave!!!
I was soo invested in this episode. I believe the defendant 100% and I think seller of the car was definitely in on it. The defendant could’ve gotten killed and I find it odd that he got robbed after the seller left him at the money gram.
The plaintiff trusted the seller over his friend and got instant karma. Friend says there’s a leak plaintiff believes seller who says nothings wrong. Why would the defendant lie about that? Somebody who wants to get rid of the car benefits from lying about that… Seller shouldn’t have been with him getting the money…he suspiciously leaves…. Defendant gets robbed ⚠️🤔
I don't think the defendant is lying, but a more likely scenario is that random criminals were just watching and waiting for an opportunity to rob someone, and he was the unfortunate victim.
It’s obviously a set up from the seller! Sounds like the plaintiff was buying the car blind & did the deal 100% online like a dummy! This is not a new scam at all!!!
I think the defendant is telling the truth. He did not waver not once while telling his story and everything adds up. The plaintiff found the car on Craigslist did he say? Craigslist is known for scammers. Either the seller set them up or people were already waiting outside to rob someone coming out of the store. Also if the plaintiff was able to fly out to NY so quickly, why did he just go himself to get the car in the first place and go back to Chicago 🙄. Takes less than a day.
@@sbss924 I hope so, too! I believe they’re both honest, standup guys who got caught up in a scam by the seller. Also, my friends and family make fun of how much People’s Court I watch, but I am constantly learning something new about the law, or interesting occupations, or tips about communicating better in my interpersonal relationships. Most educational show anywhere. Happy New Year to you as well!!
There's a lie in this story. Plaintiff is upset and the defendant sounds believable ...the seller should have been in court.. this was a scam. A one trick pony.. especially if the car wasn't up to par. Defendant knew he was going to get robbed plaintiff did too in some way.. shady case.
Only thing defendant did wrong was picking up the money. When seller told some BS story about wife this and that while on the western union line. Then he should have just left the line without picking up the money. Definitely sounds like the seller was a scammer. As for plaintiff buying Chicago should be cheaper than New York.
The seller was in on this. It's just a coincidence that the very same day the money is picked up, there happened to be 3 random men hanging outside the MoneyGram place. The seller sent his boys to do his dirty work.
His SoCal friend set him up. Because what are the odds that you get robbed right after you get the money in your hands?That was his whole plan from the jump
The seller had to leave just minutes before getting the money? Sure.
The seller set him up it sounds like
the police need to investigate how many people who trying to buy car from that seller who got rob, the seller seem suspicious
Exactly!!!! It was never going to be sold.
The seller set these guys up…no doubt in my mind!
Honestly I think you did it
Exactly
I believe the defendant. He seems truthful. I think the plaintiff knows his friend really did get robbed but just wants to sue to get the money back.
Agreed
I believe the defendant..... I also think the seller was in on it
Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Sounds like a scam.
Me too
Same. At first I was a little skeptical but his story made sense and he had small details. But definitely it feels like the seller is in on it.
Thank you!!!
I agree! Both of these guys seem like upstanding honest guys who got caught in a scam. Hope the plaintiff somehow recovered his losses, and hope they restored their friendship.
The seller DEFINITELY bamboozled them both!
I feel so bad for the defendant. Being robbed is so traumatic!
Definitely a setup didn't take anything but the money.
I believe the defendant. He didn’t stumble over his words not once while telling his story. Plus, the plaintiff is ungrateful and I think the defendant is hurt that his “friend” would think he stole his money.
And the plaintiff was laughing like it was all funny with his smirk
@@Mm2k11He wasn't laughing when he had to walk out empty handed. 😅
I don’t know if the plaintiff was onboard with the robbery, but I’m almost sure the seller was.
That seller was behind it
Since the Plaintiff was obviously able to get on a flight and travel from Chicago to NYC overnight, then he should have completely left his "friend" out of this transaction! The Plaintiff should have spoken to the seller of the car and got on a flight and arrived in Brooklyn and made this car purchase HIMSELF!!!
Great point.

@@HTAnderson76 no one mentioned time i mentioned MONEY
The seller was definitely in on it!!! Why be in a rush to leave right when you’re about to get the money.
Actually, the crooked seller wanted to make sure the money was in the defendants hand. I'm praying God will take care of that crook. You best believe
The seller should be the first suspect , I believe he set the defendant up 😏
The seller did it he wanted the money without having to even give him the car .
Defendant has way to much detail to be lying.
The defendant tells a very cogent story. I believe him.
@@angelawhite7140do you know the word cogent? It means clear and convincing. You're welcome.
I understand what cogent means, and you're correct!
The story is nonsense; the anger tells it all
The seller did it, graig list is shady
The defendant is really pointing finger at the plaintiff, i believ the defendant took it
Odd how all of those "people" outside agreed that he should have to pay back money that he was robbed of. This is the exact reason that we always need a jury of peers.
Bunch of twits!
That man coulda gotten killed being the middle man! 😳
Love the accents. Beautiful. ❤
The defendant sounds like he has a beautiful singing voice
@Babyyoshi_ I'll bet he has a great singing voice. I hope he's doing well and not allowing people to get over on him.
What exactly is so beautiful about it! It's very hard to understand
@@GloriousJohn316I could transcribe this conversation verbatim. Born and raised in Florida, cant speak any foreign languages. The accents ARE beautiful 😘
@GloriousJohn316 his tone is rich. You don't have to necessarily have to understand what he's saying. It's ok if you don't.
I believe him. The seller that up. I heard this happened so many times in nyc. Luckily he didn’t get seriously hurt. It’s dangerous purchasing stuff from people you don’t know.
I say, there were people watching outside and followed and robbed him. Too bad.
I'm guessing the seller was in on it.
That's what it sounds like to me. I feel bad for both of them
The defendant wasn't acting like a person who lied or set up this robbery. His story and actions are believable. Fair judgement
How come the plaintiff was able to fly into new york from chicago in a moments notice but not to make his deal for a car he would eventually have to pick up anyways. I Believe the defendant because the plaintiff actually talked to the seller to confirm that he was there with him. Why he didnt take the money and leave the car then was suspect. Defendant was set up by them because that was a foolish deal to start with.
The defendant isn’t lying
Ask the Money Gram for the camera footage. That solves it all.
I believe the defendant. So now does the plaintiff. What I did not hear was an apology for wrongly accusing him. The friendship was sold for cash that never showed up.
Happy New Year Jury!!
Happy New Year to you 🎉
Happy New Year 🎊
Happy New Year 🎉
Same to you and yours 🎉
Happy New Year 🎉

I believe the friend‼️
I bet the seller set the defendant up. That seller sounded fishy from the get-go.
9:51..body language. The plaintiff basically confirms the info by nodding his head. I believe the defendant.
Absolutely l. Micro expressions tell all.
I definitely believe the defendant, and I think the seller may have been in on it too.
Why would you even be considering buying a car in another state? In BROOKLYN at that😂 the dude that sold him the car set him up
One of the very first things the plaintiff said was that the defendant, who lives in the Bronx, lives a few blocks away from him. The plaintiff was in Chicago on a trip, he doesn’t live there.
I lived in Buffalo and bought my car in Cleveland. It's all about doing research especially if your looking for a particular car.
Some of the best deals I've gotten when buying a car from a private seller was out of state. Market prices can be different depending on location, especially if you live in an expensive state like I do(MA).

😂 I was thinking the same thing! Something is OFF
@@keyana8393Oh I missed that… maybe it was the accents
The so-called seller robbed the guy.
The seller took the money. No question
Seller heard them accents and hit a lick…,
I feel bad for both guys
He definitely was set up and robbed by those crooks
The seller is a very bad person. This is messed up.
At first I was skeptical about this story but the way he explains has a ring of truth to it. Also no good deed goes unpunished it probably was just his luck he doing something for someone else and this happens lol. They put the car for 3600 they all split it 3 ways

@@TukwilaRed1974 I agree!!
Sounds like the seller did something there for sure
What you need to do is go to a reputable car lot test drive and then you get a warranty
Definitely, a set up… out of towners style!
I'm thinking if I'm going to walk around with three grand of someone else's money, I'm bringing my little brother with me.
He's a Marine.

The seller definitely set the man up. If the story about him leaving right before the man received the money.
Find the seller!
The seller set him up SMH
They all knew it would go to the People's Court so the money would be covered.
Seller is the plaintiff he got Hoodwinked he's a thief
Never send money to someone to purchase something for you.😊 Why didn't he send the money to the seller?

wow so he’s just out that money and no body pays him?? that’s unfair
The seller lined him up.
🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽now that you lost your case-apologize to the defendant.🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽

Damn that’s messed up either way amh
But why would u call the dealer first instead of your homeboy
I believe the defendant. And, I learned something new, the "agent" information. I hope they become friends again. Happy New Year .

I think the guy who had the car for sale had him robbed.
I believe the defendant
Set up
I think the defendant, and the Plaintiff were scamm3ed by the seller
I believe this was a set up!
The defendant got set up
I think the plaintiffs set the defendant up. He took the verdict to easy. Peep 👀 Game 💯
I thought the same thing
I agree!
Seller set them both up
Def a set up...sad
The seller did this! They set him up
Criminals are more crafty
Was this robbery in broad daylight? Around other pedestrians and motorists on a sidewalk?
I’m just asking idk 🤷🏽♀️ while 🤦🏽♀️
The title of this should've been, "YNs got ya money"!!! 🤣 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂 they wouldn't get it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The defendant favors Jonathan Majors.
Listening to the intro sounds like the case from yesterday "He Ran With the Money". I'll find out later, going back to work.
It's just 51%. Defendant never skipped a beat. If he's lying he's pretty darn good.
My thought exactly.
There's a lie in this story. Plaintiff is upset and the defendant sounds believable ...the seller should have been in court.. this was a scam. A one trick pony.. especially if the car wasn't up to par. Defendant knew he was going to get robbed plaintiff did too in some way.. shady case.

Then he should have just left the line without picking up the money. Definitely sounds like the seller was a scammer. As for plaintiff buying Chicago should be cheaper than New York.
I find the defendant credible, as he appears honest and sincere.
The plaintiff looks like a scammer.
The fact that the plaintiff was still trying to get the car from the seller lol… the seller must love him 🤣
Something fishy
That plaintiff is foolish. SMH
He doesn't give me that vibe either
The seller was in on this.
It's just a coincidence that the very same day the money is picked up, there happened to be 3 random men hanging outside the MoneyGram place. The seller sent his boys to do his dirty work.
His SoCal friend set him up. Because what are the odds that you get robbed right after you get the money in your hands?That was his whole plan from the jump
I believe the defendant 1000%! The seller set up that man to get robbed. Who’s leaving someone who is handing over $3200!
Scammer vs Scammer
Why use a friend for money gram when there are so many other ways to send monet like PayPal or cashapp?
I believe the plantiff and the judge shouldn't have ruled on the case for the plaintiff to build his case.
I think the plantiff had something to do with it.
I think all was according to plan until he actually saw all that cash then thought, naw, I'm keeping it.
The seller set him up, there never was a car.
