If I was a scammer or thief I'd know where to look for victims.
internet poker players are a very soft group once off the virtual felt, obviously. I really think FT stole all that money with all the fear of repercussion that you would have in flicking off an entire star trek convention.
In other words complete and total impunity. I dunno maybe its watching Cops and all these prison shows where it looks like every time you do anything illegal you are immediately hunted down, arrested, and sent off to be butt raped. All the CSI and Americas Dumbest Criminals etc that this generation watched makes them super paranoid about going outside the law.
And Erick is probably savvy enough to know that. I mean do you think he would make 250k a month or whatever it was and not pay the mob or someone like that lol lol lolololol
