Ok, here comes the long story.

First a little bit about me:
My name is Mihailo, I play under screennames phourier on Stars and Party (lowstakes MTT and SNG). I have been backed by Samurai Staking ( gavin555 sjl99 ) for 15 months now. I am sure any of them will vouch that we have always had a good honest relationship and no major issues. I have been coached by ZeelandBoy, m1ghtyducks and from recently bfizz11. Also I have been buying in past some small shares of people (kimchisama at bahamas main for an example) and have always sent the money up front.

I have met M1sters in November 2015 when I joined Samurai Staking (he was already part of the stable). He was a nice and friendly guy and we got along from the very beginning. Few month later he has left the stable on good terms. (As far as I have known his goal was to grind 30 tables for rakeback while being a break even player and stable bosses wanted him to work on actually improving his win rate) He has taken some time off, and haven't heard from him during that time. When he came back to playing poker we became even friendlier. I helped him with some database stuff, shared some hand histories of my tournament wins with him talked strat etc. I felt like we were as friendly as you can be with someone without actually meeting them irl.

Then comes end of November 2016. Skrill cancels all Master Cards for citizens of my country without a warning. I had around 2k euros there at that time and was considering my options. Also there was a local live series coming up and I sold some action for that. Since any form of online business (including gambling) is unregulated here wire transferring that amount to my bank acc was not an option. Skrill withdrawals to visa cards were also banned some time ago. My only option was to swap (either someone for cash or for a bank wire from a personal acc). After failing to arrange anything with people I have actually met irl I pm-ed M1sters if he could help me and he said he will. I promised him a 25% freeroll of a live tournament I was planning on playing. He told me there was no need to send him money before 16th of December cause then he will have money in his bank acc and can wire me easy. We agreed on 700 euros.
On 15th he messages me he says that he has got a maximum of 950 euros in his account that he can transfer me. We agree on 900.
On 16th he tells me that he was at the bank, didn't send money because it can arrive only after Christmas (tourney I was planning on playing was on 23rd) unless he sends it via fast transfer which is expensive unless it is 1k+ then you don't pay one of the fees. I say np, and transfer him 125 euros more to a total of 1k + 25 for fee. He says he is going to withdraw the 125 from Skrill and send it immediately. We agree on him sending me the copy of bank statement that transfer has been made.
On 17th he goes missing for a whole day and shows up in the evening claiming he was dead drunk and just woke, that the money was sent and it will be in my acc in 2 days. At this moment I already knew **** has gone down. I start finding anything I can on the internet about him. Only things I had were his "real name" Sandis Ramilovs, Skype contact (facebook:s.ramilovs), PS (M1sters), FB(Misters Ramilovs) Skrill e-mail (fulltimegrind2101@gmail.com) and that he was from Riga, Latvia. First thing I have found when googling was a PokerStars screen name S.Ramilovs which got banned in 2013, for a reason I could not find. Upon re-checking Skrill I found out that the recipient was a Sandis Vinogradovs. (I have actually noticed this before but as I am not expert in Latvian names I thought that it might be one of those multiple last name situations since the first name matched, and as I said before I have trusted the guy). Next I find out a Facebook profile of a Sandis Vinogradovs and would you know we had a mutual friend (a person who was also a part of the same stable back in early 2016). Interesting thing about Sandis Vinogradovs was that his date of birth said year 1998. This meant that in November 2015 he was only 17 years old and was playing underage using a fake ID to get staking and play on Stars. (Also probably the reason of him getting banned on his first account) I pm-ed our mutual Facebook friend an he confirms that it was the true identity of M1sters. He shows up on the deadline day claiming that he had major debts and that he ****ed up, how he is very sorry but plans to return everything cause I have always been nice to him, and also because he can't buy a third Stars account (here admitting that the S.Ramilovs acc was also his).
At this point I have already notified all personal acquaintances about what he has done. He said that he could pay it in around 6 weeks.
I was mad, but nothing I could have actually done so I ask him to unlock his SharkScope so I can see he is not playing with my money and he agrees to do every Monday for 24 hours and locks it back again. He did actually do that and that have me some hope.
on 15th he shows up saying he has the money but no way to deposit it online. He claims he has got the full amount and that he will come to me to bring me cash (rofl) along with some extra money which he needed deposited on Stars. Of course, he didn't come. Begged for me not to post anything, said that he is going to go to UK to work in warehouse for $500 a month and send me $100 each month (ROFL). But I have decided enough was enough and came out with everything. Since then he hasn't showed up at all.

My next steps would probably be getting him banned on Stars again and asking them to check if he has any new accounts (via IP). I also have his parents contact and I will message them as soon as I can find someone to translate it to Latvian for me. And at the end i will make a website so everyone can see what he has done. Any help and suggestion will be very much appreciated and sorry for the long post. I just felt like the whole story had to be told.
