IMO they're not really friends if they're bent out of shape over something that petty. I loaned a friend $2,000 once and it took years for him to pay it back and it didn't affect our friendship at all because he's a true friend and I'm a true friend to him.
It was definitely a mistake to borrow money without being sure you would be able to pay it back, even if you were certain you would have cash coming to you. But everyone makes mistakes and if your friend is willing to end a friendship over that then I would tell them to go to hell and leave it at that. What petty BS to end a friendship over.
The guy who owes you money is also guilty of the same thing you are. He took your assets (EQ plat) without knowing with 100% certainty that he could pay it back. Like you said it's a stupid circle.
But that's the moral of the story!!! The whole situation is stupid and petty and it never should have started a huge argument anyway. If the money you borrowed from your friend crippled him then he had no business loaning it out.
A bunch of mistakes all around but nothing serious.
