Some have already made it clear that they don't care what's wrong with him.
I don't feel it's my place to reveal anything about his personal life to anyone, but it's to the point I think he wouldn't mind.
While he was in vacation out of the country, he had a heart attack.
When he returned to the states, the doctors said he also suffered a stroke.
He created this thread the first couple days he was in the hospital.
He was a scheduled for release.
But just after that, he had another stroke while in the hospital.
It was then that the doctors made his family take his electronic devices away.
So now hoping for a release soon.
I feel for you guys who are owed.
But going by this Hache post it appears that BAS may be, or may have been, near death. Heart attacks are serious. Strokes are more serious.
Get well BAS. My prayers are with you.
And I hope and expect you guys to get paid, too. I play in those contests. I understand your anguish.
