NEW Cliffs/news of the ongoing Jose "Girah" Macedo scandal - Page 2 - Poker News

Didn't girah end up winning the Bluff Challenge by winning a bunch from Sam Chauhan at 100/200 or 200/400? Chauhan is the mindset coach that Jungleman was working with and I think was somehow involved with Jungle giving away WSOP seats or whatever that promotion was. I remember them coming on Quadjacks together.

wooow, the Chauhan dump was already extremely suspicious. This is damning. From http://www.flushthefashion.com/poker...er-mind-coach/

Then all of a sudden on the final day he goes on to play nosebleed stakes and wins enough money to be in first place.

...

Furthermore, the person against whom the bulk of the money was won was playing under the alias "SamChauhan". If that is indeed Sam Chauhan of http://www.changingyou.com/, he is a mindset coach not a poker player. Never before have I heard of him playing online poker. Now he is playing against top opponents at nose bleed levels? What made him choose that particular day to all of a sudden start playing 20kNl? Another coincidence?

So will people have to buy the Bluff Magazine to read the interview or is it going to be free & I assume Daniel will make money for the interview? So he makes money from the scam and then makes money selling the story about the scam, easy game.

The publicist said the Bluff piece would be out today, so I imagine its a website piece, not a print article. But she was not particularly clear about it (not a good quality for a publicist):

The reason he is not posting here is because I advised him not to, however, he did do a long interview with Bluff Mag yesterday which should be out sometime today. Please don't beat him up for not posting here as it was my decision for him not to and he is just following that.

lol, what thread will "x" be posted?

.....and if "x" is dih saying "hey I'm the guy, I did it all!!!!", I wonder if that is going to be acceptable.

In other words, will that raise speculation as to haseeb being a "fall guy" to clear jungle's name in all this since logically, jungleman does fit in this mess.

And they call us "nvgtards"!

The major hole in the worst case scenario is that if girah had the skills to plant rogue software on other people's computers then he wouldn't need to beg them to let him sweat their sessions.

As for the rest, it's just another example of girah's reputation preceding him.

Sauce - I do not know you, played with you or even watched your videos. Watching from the sidelines on how you have handled this entire situation I have gained a lot of respect for your character. Not many people in this world are as well reserved and aware that their actions are everything.

As a result I will probably be joining Leggo as you clearly have a brain that works.

I wasn't one of the scam victims. Could you edit that please? The ones who lost money to Jose over team viewer, were Moss, Imfromsweden and TooCurious. I was merely let in on the suspicion early on and investigated it from the start; I never let anyone sweat me.

Thanks.

Yes, 9/9 is the date, but should obviously be 8/9. Will edit this if I still can.

I think the implication of this is that DIH was posting on the Girah account, not that Girah was in Vegas, but this is still unclear. In any event, I did post that NoahHD had recently confirmed that DIH posted under the Girah 2+2 name; a simple search for posts by NoahSD would find it in either NVG thread 2 or the HS thread.

Forgive me if that wasn't entirely clear - it's a hell of a story to try to condense.

You can be sure there will be some lies in his post when he figures out a story to tell which he hopes won't have too much detail which he can get caught out on again.

This is interesting, and very possible. I remember reading somewhere that Antonius had this happen to him. His computer was compromised by a trojan and the hacker/cheater could see his hole cards.

I can no longer make edits, as too much time has elapsed and I am not a mod.

I apologize for not bolding the tops of the sections for readability, I'll correct it later (or perhaps NoahSD will) for easier reading. I don't tend to start mega threads.

Seriously what the hell is X and why should sauce give Haseeb more than a minute to respond to it? The only thing giving them more time does is allow them to organize their network of lies, the truth would come out relatively easily.

Thanks.

What exactly is your role then in all this ? Why are you the one trying to contact Jose ?
