I usually don't talk trash about sht that doesn't involve me or about people I don't know, but this dude seems like a real jakass to me. Super manipulative, bullyish, and generally untrustworthy.

The video with the apology has been taken down from YouTube. Whom does he allege swindled him out of $2 million?

UB scandal

As it happens, he probably is the mark at the table anyway so I'm sure no one would complain, kind of like when everyone knew that Guy and Eli had 35 accounts on FTP.

Oh - I think I understand now. I thought the poster meant that it was a cap game with 300bb being the maximum a player can contribute to a pot before he's considered "all in". I now realise the buy-in is capped, not the pot size.. my bad.

Did you notice him eating any expensive steaks?

I get so angry at this guy. He needs to get a job and live like the rest of us. The party is over. Your 15 mins are up.

Seems to be living life to the fullest on other peoples money. A typical scam artist.

Brad made another payment to me for $600. (total is now $27,000)

I also want to say that i genuinely believe that brad is doing his best to make right in this situation, and i appreciate him coming out to meet me and make payments. It doesn't make the situation right, but i think it shows at least some level of class to try to make small steps towards the solution.

You're being way too kind to a guy that robbed you.

As opposed to what option?

Get something or get nothing. It's not a difficult decision.

I still don't agree with posting his payments on here. Matter should be dealt with privately and brief updates perhaps if need be.

He didn't rob him at all, and your reaction is way off. He's just a degen with problems. But I see you've bombed 100+ in a month so you clearly need to think a little more before you post Sir.

And good luck BB. keeping grinding.

You should think a little more about things before you post.

1) what would you call something where two people agree on a financial transaction and then one person doesn't do as he agreed? Then the person doesn't respond or call back or give back any of the money.

2) The only way BB responded to WCG was after he brought it out to the community and made it known. Posting his repayments may be questionable, but with the line of thought that BB only responds when things are brought forth in public, it's perfectly fine for WCG to do this.

I believe BB should be paying back faster. He owes the debt, he shouldn't be doing anything "fun" or buy things he wants until he pays back his debt. He's already shown he can't be trusted, the lesson has to be learned. He only responds to pressure, so it should be kept up.

"Thanks for the $200 out of the $30K you ripped me off for Brad. You're a good guy"

No offense, but this is ridiculous.

I understand the guy is trying to earn to pay you back, but he buys in at 5/10 every night, and you wait for $2-$600 installments?

Tough beat. Guy is a loser through and through. Game has completely advanced beyond his win rate....money = goodbye.

[wil318466]

Pfunk - in general, I agree with you, 500 dollar (or whatever small amounts) payments suck on such a big balance, but what is the other option? You can't get blood from a stone.
