    It only becomes your son's problem, if the friend borrows money and doesn't pay it back. I would be more worried about son getting sucked into debt via gaming, than his friend's behaviour. 

    No risk of that.
    All seems a bit calmer now, and as I said, the guy has a really good bunch around him.
    The future of the country is in pretty good hands, I'd say; our yoof have often been wrong-done by. It's only the lying populist c-nuts in charge who are messing it up.

  • At the end of the day it isn't yours or your sons responsibility to check where his friends' money goes. If he is 20 years old he should be able to manage his own finances himself without burdening others. The only thing I would suggest is maybe your son having a word with him 1 to 1 to see what is going on.
