hey everyone, after much debating and messaging back and forth, crossfireracr just sent me 140$.
He wanted to make it right and and clear his name.
Thanks to everyone for supporting me in the situation, it felt good to know there were people who had my back!
Special thanks to FP for helping with negotiation and keeping taps on the situation. I know it was probably a big nuisance for him, and extra stress he didn't need. Nonetheless I am glad he was there.
Thanks, I'm glad this is over
