You're all missing the point here. I used to be a runner years ago. I took bets from his customers and passed them on to the bookie. I had guys stiffing me almost every week. I was always told to give the bookie the names of the ones stiffing me, which I did. The bookie would always send "muscle" to talk to these folks and I would always get paid the following week. This bookie was classy too! Tough, but classy. Every Saturday morning he would provide a breakfast feast for any of the people that bet thru him or his runners (me and about 12 other runners). Don't know how many customers he had, but it was in the hundreds. He had a cook and bartender at his place till noon every Saturday. So I asked him one day why he would send "muscle" to talk with someone that only owed, maybe $50-$60. His answer was simple. "If I let one person get away with it and it got out that I let someone off easy, then others would try to take advantage of me too". So, instead of having a reputation of being a softie, he had a reputation of being tough.
Now, this bookie should have had some "muscle" to help collect his debts. I can't believe that these runners were 100% successful every week in collecting money. There has to be more to this story than is being told here. Perhaps the bookie was being stiffed by your cousin. And since you vouched for your cousin, he feels you should pay.
I guess it doesn't matter now, but you shouldn't have turned him in to the cops. And if you would have talked to him sooner about the $1100, maybe something could have been worked out and he wouldn't have had to come to your workplace to discuss it. I know that's the last resort, someone's workp[lace, but if a person's avoiding you, maybe that's the only alternative. And, did you try to contact your cousin to get his help, since he created this situation in the first place.

Your nephew books a bet from a cop (how the hell did he do this?? please explain), gets busted and he thinks he can walk away from his $1100 debt?? What prevented him from collecting after you bonded him out? Maybe you or your nephew should collect the 1100 and pay that "mobster."
