So for the last 2-3 years I've been playing 5-10-ish stakes on this site 24poker. I would fund my 24 account by swapping ftp/stars/etc with a guy named Steve Arnold aka rakebackmypoker, who also did my rakeback on 24poker.
A few months ago (post black friday), Steve started getting sketchy basically disappeared off the face of the planet for a while, while owing a reg $10k from a merge-for-24 swap. This became a public affair:

However, many of the regs were spooked by all of this and withdrew their money from 24poker (Steve had direct access to our accounts so people got worried). I wasn't able to withdraw immediately so I contacted someone named Nimrod Zaphnath, who is the Operations Manager at 24poker (according to his linkedin), on the advice of a friend/fellow reg. Nimrod assured me that Steve's access to the accounts had been suspended, so I kind of took my foot off the gas on the whole situation.
Probably a mistake. I don't really know any regs who are still on the skin, and the last one to withdraw apparently had to basically complain and bitch at Nimrod to get his money. I have emailed Nimrod several times and have not received a response in over a week. Hopefully he'll give me my monies I'm not sure why he wouldn't considering he cashed out everyone else, but who knows.
Just a warning for you all.
