I kinda feel weird bringing this to NVG but since only 60 people max were watching at the time I guess it is my duty for the community. I'm not making any judgement here, just found it funny to hear him tell the story 6 or 7 years later.
I loaded up his twitch stream for a second and "Leatherass" (Dustin Schmidt) was in the middle of telling a story about how he had an unfair repuation for being a short stacker back in the day. His story went something like...early on when he was a coach for "Stoxpoker", Nick asked Dustin for access to Dustins account so that Nick could use it to shortstack during the mornings. So when the Leatherass9 account was shortstacking apparently it was always Nick on this account, at least in the mornings.
Dustin said he felt pressure to let Nick use it because Nick was his boss and also he felt multi-accounting wasn't as big a deal then. Dustin said the reason Nick didn't want to use his own account was because he didn't want to be looked at as a shortstacker. It would be bad for his repuation (ego) and bad for the Stoxpoker Training brand.
Nick Grudzien obviously went on to be shunned from the poker community for multi accounting and collusion a year or 2 later. Refresh your memory with this thread if you want to!
