This player took 2nd place in sunday kickoff being staked under PokerSmart staking fund. We had contract for 20 sundays which was confirmed with him. He also had been assured that money will be in his account the day before. He never said anything about playing on his behalf in skype or via e-mail.
Also, he played another sunday tournaments using our money (that were sent obv), but only kick-off he "paid" himself, also "selling" 60% to his imaginary friend (no confirmation from him, no screenshots of friend's money transfer, whatsoever).
After tons of messages, he never gave any reasons for stealing our money, besides:

[21.05.2012 18:43:43] ziduart: in the first place I never thought to win the tournament because was only one
[21.05.2012 18:58:31] ziduart: with my money I do what I want
[21.05.2012 21:36:45] ziduart: no kick of its mine

He was given the link to the 1st topic, but never wrote anything in his defense. Coaches and regulars agreed, that backer is right in this situation. We gave him time to think about his decision (almost 3 weeks now)
We have copy of his documents and we also sent request to portugal police about this situation.

Randall is in make up $300, broke contractual obligations by dropping out of contact, played limits that he was not staked for and has continued to stretch out this process so that we would not post anything.

He did actually reach out after a few weeks of no contact and admitted what had happened as per a part of his email here (late last year, Dec.27/11)

"I wanted to inform you before the new year starts that I have busted the roll on BCP. It seems that I'm still not fit to play on a mental level. My current make up now is $300 and I do plan to buy my way out"

and another email outlining his error: (Jan.11/12)

"Here are the stats, I didn't follow the BRM guidlines which resulted to a wrong on my part so I apologize to you and vince for how I handled this again. Just let me know what I can do so we can work something out on my make up. Will be waiting for your response so I can make this right this time."

*Reference to Vince is my partner vinivici9586 ... not a great guy to roll a stake on if you would like a future in the poker industry as he is a highly respected member of the community.

We have been patient, it's been about two months since the roll was busted and I have had several chats with Randall and he has asked for some time and we have given what we believe is an ample amount of time to do the right thing.... we still have not received $1 towards his make up.

I have informed Randall that we are forced to post this up as we have an obligation to the poker community and if he feels that he has the integrity to do the right thing and pay back what he owes for breaking guidelines and has admitted to, then we are offering him the opportunity to do that.

If he pays back his make up, we will post that he has cleared his debt and he will be free and clear of any obligations to us and we will have his personal information removed so as to avoid any further public scrutiny.

I will be providing him with a link to this post and he will have the opportunity to add any thoughts or comments if he feels that he is being treated unjustly.

Cheers,
Colin & Vini

Entered into a backing agreement with Randall (squar3b3ar) without seeing this post unfortunately. Randall lost a small amount at MTTs but blew through money playing cash games that he was not staked for. The debt being 500 in total

He continued to press for reloads without ever mentioning anything and I believe would have continued as long as he could have.

When pressed on the issue he confessed that he had a problem with tilt and after a deep run had gone to cash tables.

Whether he is a degen or a nice guy or a scammer it is obvious that he should not be trusted with money transfers. The fact that he has only paid lip service to how sorry he is but pulled the same stunt twice.

He has said that he will make it right and pay me back but he has said this to the quoted poster and to my knowledge made little effort to do so.

I too gave Randall ample time to deal with the situation and he failed to send me any audit or make any positive steps towards a solution

These events have forced me to out him again publicly and I hope the community can gain from my mistake.

Hello!!!
Michael is telling the story on his own way, he just copied the skype conversation that fits for his own interest.
On that specific day he didn't assured me that I was going to receive the money for the sunday program... we were talking together about the scoops
[05/19/2012 13:26:09] ziduart: I borrowed some money to play yesterday the scoops
[05/19/2012 13:26:20] ziduart, but have not received anything, have a problem?
[05/19/2012 13:26:37] Michael: did you request money via e-mail?
[05/19/2012 13:27:17] ziduart: yes
[05/19/2012 13:27:53] Michael: I do not know then. I will write
[05/19/2012 13:27:59] Michael: do not worry, They send money
[05/19/2012 13:28:01] Michael :
but the money did not come again.

What really happened was:
[05/21/2012 17:07:02] ziduart:
Of course I'm not ok, I'm very uncomfortable Already the i said ... but I'm sure you would do the same in a similar situation ..i sent an email 17May Asking for money to play 18May Scoops and send me money or nobody spoke to me.
19May i talk with you about that and you said to me:
[05/19/2012 13:27:53] Michael: I do not know then. I will write
[05/19/2012 13:27:59] Michael: do not worry. They send money
i Waited for the money to play the scoop 36 and 37 That Began 3or4 hours later after this conversation, and the money did not come the second time. I send another email to the fund asking 3.5k for sunday plan and i said:
"I need 3.5k for Sunday, i would like to start playing at 109 kickoff Sunday." ... "Yesterday i asked to play the 1k Scoops, nobody I sent the money. "... "TY"
Sunday i wake up, Went to lunch .. I'm waiting for the money and open the pokerstars cashier more than 10 times and had no money. Obviously i was sad and i thought it would not send the money for the third time, so i decide to play the Sunday kickoff with my money, and my housemate who plays poker Also I bought 60% of the BI and i was only going to Play That tournament yesterday, when I saw that I had received the money from the fund i play the rest of the session as usually.
When i Was like 2 or 3 tables left at kickoff i obviously was not going to say anything because it was quiet consciousness and i think i acted correctly without intent to harm anyone. I think i had the right to act this way, was without any kind of evil.
Michael is a liar when he said "He was Given the link to the 1st topic, but never wrote anything in his defense.", I just saw the posts today.

Nice try of calling me a liar, mr scammer

skype logs:
(lie again please, so I can send more logs)

[27.05.2012 17:05:04] Michael: So yeah. We asked community (coaches, top-regs and so) on 2+2
Here is topic:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...spute-1201955/

Everybody from community confirms that you are wrong in this situation with kick-off that happened. And that you own money.
I would like to hear from you the ways of solving this problem or I will have to post topic about you on 2+2. It's not threat or something, just facts.
[27.05.2012 17:26:09] ziduart: everyone in the community?
everyone I spokethat playing poker says I am right

screen proof

and again mr scammer. when you will answer these questions?

1) Skype message @ 19.05.2012 claiming that he receives money for sunday session tomorrow
2) we sent money 40 minutes late (late registration for this tournament is 2 hours)
3) he didn't say anything about SELLING shares from OUR SUNDAY PROGRAM
4) he didn't say anything when he saw money at his account (at 13:43 as he said)
5) when he was like 2 or 3 tables left at kick-off you again didn't tell anything
6) and again, not even single message in between 13-13:43 that he plays this for himself or stuff, just noticed by one of the managers

gl

p.s.
"fits for his own interest", obv I made up all the logs and your sayings.
I also waited for your response in skype since thursday and suddenly you are posting here, n1

[ziduart]

[QUOTE=justkrik;33130772]Nice try of calling me a liar, mr scammer

Sorry, at the time did not see the link, just saw now.
But I'm here to defend myself now, and my previous post answers it all.

PS: he just copied the skype conversation parts that fits for his own interest.

[27-05-2012 17:06:10] Michael: talking with boss, will write
[27-05-2012 17:06:15] ziduart: ok
[04-06-2012 15:50:13] Michael: Hi. I am not sure why you are silent. But I have sent you like 3 or 4 same messages:

"Hey. We have talked about the problem, that occurred with the kickoff tourney. Considering forum replies, community (top regulars, coaches) consider that fund is 100% right. There is no 50/50 split in any of messages they have typed. Prior to this, decision is the following:
Either you include this tourney in our sunday schedule (as it should be) or:
1) We make big post on 2+2, outing all the personal data, so nobody will ever stake you again
2) We report fraud to pokerstars
3) We report fraud to portugal police"

The post and fax are ready, so I wait for your response since last tuesday.

I waited for the response from the boss that you never send.

I'm not a scammer

[D.S.]

I see you reported JustKrik's post as 'completely a lie' Ziduart and asked for it to be removed.

If that's true then you should be easily able to prove it and then the post will be removed. But so far in the two threads he's stated a pretty convincing case so you're going to have to do better than 'I'm not a scammer'. From my previous interactions with him I have no reason to believe he would suddenly start making things up.

I think my first post explains the situation. He is using my personal information like nick, name, email and address. This should be banned because it puts my life and privacy at risk.

I hope you don't mind a few questions:

When you decided to play with your own money, did you think about letting them know about it before registering?

What exactly happened the other Sundays, when you did not receive the money in time?

I'm just curious if the issue is really as clear as it seemed in the MTTc thread.

You are trying to use the situation with not receiving money for SCOOPs (on which you do not have any special agreement with the fund for stacking) to defend your miserable attempt to steal the money from kickoff (which is in your regular Sunday program)

Any sane person, who had a long term agreement with the fund for Sunday tournaments(20 weeks?), will not need a confirmation every f ucking week, which will state "Yes, mate, you are playing from our fund tonight. Here is your money."

If you were afraid that in case you will not receive money before the tourneys start and make all buy ins from your own money could results in that fund will not eventually cover all your expenses, then you are really dumb, sir.

I could understand your argumentation in case you did not have enough money to play the session, but obviously you had money, so you have registered for the tourneys.
