10.8 mil pending wire transfer in my head means, "winning."

Yeah he totally got this money from Poker. After all, he's the most successfull player in the world

There's no doubt that he has money, and I don't think anyone is doubting that.

The thing is like, why is he trying to prove to us so hard that he won 10.8 mil that night. No pics of game, nothing, just says that. He's trying to get people to think that all his $ comes from poker, and make a big deal about it, so when asked about anything it's all their.

Everyone seems to think he is somehow laundering money from somewhere, which is probably true. Why else would the only RT/only questioned he has answered on twitter be about the IRS and how it doesn't matter if he's audited, again bringing more attention to it.

You people have to realize, his dad got in trouble for stealing hundreds of millions, then shortly after files bankruptcy (lol).

The 10.8 mil wire transfer can be a lot of things....just because it may be going into or coming from a poker website does not necessarily mean that is winnings. I would be shocked if DB won that much playing online.....

he wont it in one of his " secret private home games" where he "absolutely crushes".

I'm guessing it was a live private game and the winnings are being paid by wire.

I have a friend like this who only wins when I'm not playing with him. When we play together he's a huge fish and loses money, but whenever he goes to AC by himself he crushes and thus claims to be a huge lifetime winner.

Maybe you're just that good.

your username needs to come true^

or it could be the 10.8million he boasted about winning about a week ago in a live 5k/10k game several times

What opponent can he trust enough to fade them $11M?

I believe it's true that he is wired enormous sums of money.

I absolutely do not believe he won it playing poker however I do believe that someone like him would claim that really, this quarters trust fund remittance from the Cayminian account is really a wire from crushing a celebrity poker game.

How can anyone hate on a guy that was on his way to become a SEAL but instead got kicked out for calling one of the officers a pussy. That is classic.

Dan, I'd be honored to fire off a round with you, and drink one too while we're at it. Respect.

Dan's dad didn't steal anything. He made a fortune in real estate and then owned the financial markets. Laws were literally made to try and stop what him and similar businessmen were doing after they had already started. He never stole money from anyone he literally created value for everyone, people just had to get jealous of his success and try to screw him over. The only thing he did "wrong" was not fully disclose holdings in companies over 5% which isn't even something that is morally wrong in any way and even that is debatable whether or not he broke those rules. The SEC is more corrupt than the people they go after. All they got him on were minor, questionable rules violations that are committed by everyone but they needed to pick a scapegoat to publicly hang. The government throwing him in jail for contempt indefinitely, basically holding him hostage until his family paid a ransom, was far worse than anything Paul Bilzerian ever did. Screw the government.

To hate on Dan is ridiculous. You all wish you balled like he does as do I. Yea he has money but he also seems like a fun dude sociable dude who is good looking and that is just as important as the bread. There are young people with more money than him doing nothing crackin. Do you see Mark Zuckerburg at the club? Obviously he got money initially from his family nothing wrong with that. A lot of people get money from the parents to start businesses etc. He clearly has some skill at cards though and is at this point making his own money and investing in projects and stuff making his own way. Why knock him for that? I gave him props for living life to the fullest in the face of the government who tried to sh*t on his family and take that all away.

Hi Adam, nice to meet you.

Agreed, but you are not much better when you take one of the age-old debates that still has no accepted answer and frame your opinion as fact.

OK good post. Perhaps there is more to the blizerian money trail than most understand . If no innocent investors were swindled then god bless him on his success. I would agree that just because the govt says you are bad or convicts you of something wrong does not necessarily make it true.

Over the years I have found that money/ wealth is basically a big magnifying glass . It tends to magnify people's basic personality traits . If you are at the core a good solid person it allows you to be a better person. If you are basically a douche, it allows you to be a much bigger douche.

I don't know Dan, never met him but he lost me with the whole beating up hookers thing.

You sound like a friend of his and if so maybe help him understand there is no place in this world for that BS. Nobody is perfect and in the heat of the moment we all say/do things that we think might be funny or interesting, but in retrospect were just awful and horribly wrong.


Does he have the balls to come out and agree that was just all wrong?

Would hate for the young impressionable dan fan's, who might look up to him think that beating up on any young girl or woman is in any way funny or acceptable within our society.

Thank you.

So where did these $440 million in liabilities then come from? that he declared bankcrupcty over, twice?

He was only ordered to disgorge the 62 million including interest from the takeover attempts. (That he didn't pay, of course)

That must be outstanding debts owed to various investment bankers at the time of the bankruptcy.
These deals can be big and sometimes whole groups of smaller banks pool their resources. His takeover of Singer, the defense contractor, required $1.1billion..

Can someone explain in brief simple English what his dad actually odd and if he screwed ppl over, who specifically

He was an investor. People gave him money, and that money disappeared.

He also lost a case where he did not disclose the amount of stock he had in certain companies. He used this for his takeover scams, where he pretended to make a hostile takeover of a company, if he knew a white knight would be there to save this company. Then sell the stock at the now inflated price. He had to pay a $60+ million dollar fine on that, but also never did.

Who he specifically screwed over - his investors, namely banks, pension funds, private citizens.

So what is this other guy rambling about

None of that would have happened if they didn't persecute him for the Singer takeover, and force his bankruptcy.
The norm was he made money for everyone involved, from company stockholders, to banks, to private investors.

That sounds like something Dan came up with himself. Probably about as true as him being self-made

Also it's not very surprising that it's mostly micro stakes regs and new posters that love him. Young and dumb people.

Wasn't he the mod in HSNL? After several regs in that subforum demanded it?
