Looks like Rick keeps making excuses and playing the victim , I'm so over it ......Pleaseeeeee!!!!!

Do people still take Rick Fox seriusly ? All he seems to be doing is blame people for his own mistakes. It was reported Echo Fox's value crashed from 150 millon to like 30 under his management, even most lotto winners don't lose as much as he did if that's the case lol

Interesting, and there I thought Rick is only seen in public wearing the 'eSports super hero' outfit.... weh weh :D Lightning is coming, I should go.

This is no surprise really, RickFox wants everybody to believe AmitRaizada_ is 100% evil & lying, but Amit, and now his partners, have made very serious claims which they now seem to be willing to back up with action. Was Rick mostly spinning this cause he knows he has no case?

Rick Fox is so fine
