Deals gone bad and owing money

[Tak97]

This seemed to be the correct section to post this but if not my apologies.

Basically I just wanted to get some opinions from the members of these fine forums on a situation I was recently involved in. Basically, a friend wanted me to get him a few oxycodone 30 pills and I told him I could probably be of some help. I meet up with said friend and have a guy at the ready to meet up with whom I have done business with many times and trust. When the time comes to meet up with him he said that something had come up and that he wouldn't be available for a while. My friend insisted that I find someone else and after some searching I found an acquaintance that had some. This person has been sketchy in the past so I told my friend it would be in his best interest if we waited for my trusted guy because I didn't want to be responsible for his lost money if it goes awry. My friend said he didn't want to wait and I finally agreed to go meet the guy on the grounds that I didn't want to be held responsible if it didn't turn out well. So, we meet the guy and he hands me the pills and I hand him the money and they turn out to be fake. I was not very surprised. My friend now holds me responsible and insists that I pay him back and I have told him that I will not because I gave him the option to wait a bit to meet my trusted dealer and he chose to meet the sketchy guy. He is all upset now and expects me to pay him back. Am I in anyway in the wrong for not paying him back? I'd very much appreciate opinions!

If that's really how it went down then obviously not.

If you were upfront and honest with your friend about the possible outcome and he agreed, then you don't owe him a thing. I understand if your friend is in a bad spot and frustrated because he needs the pills, but if he agreed then that is all that matters. If he is a really good friend and you care about him maybe you could help him out a little bit when you can so the friendship doesn't get ruined/sour. It sucks man being in this position but financially you shouldn't be responsible. Hopefully your friend can get well soon and he will realize he made a hasty mistake. I know the feeling though when you are out and need to score so he is just frustrated, hope it works out.

It doesn't matter what you told him once he hands the money over it's in fates hands. I mean it's a dirty game and there are no money back guarantee. If you burnt him then you are a dick but if not well that's the chance you take dealing in the black market!
