Wow! It seems Joey kicked into high gear once he discovered all of this, and fast!
Imo, this time Joey had finally had enough! This time he planned to handle this immediately once and for all!! He had finally had his fill of CM!
I think Joey felt so enraged at how he had been so betrayed by CM. The very man who pretended to be his close friend making Joey believe CM really cared about him. The same man who already owed him 43k! This showed Joey all of it had been nothing more than an act!!
As I have mentioned early on, when easygoing people finally get to the point where they aren't going to take it anymore they can often stand their ground with the one they know who has long been taking advantage of them.
Then that normally easy laid back individual can become quite capable of standing up to their worst adversary.
Imo, I think Joey blasted CM in the meeting, and for the first time ever CM realized Joey wasn't going to rollover this time. CM knew his manipulation con game was over.
Do we know what the one minute text consisted of, Tortoise? Tia
