Dutch Boyd's Wikipedia page is the most comprehensive source of Pokerspot info and contains numerous citations, including the relevant rec.gambling.poker discussions where Boyd admitted to lying to his customers about their cashout statuses, etc. Boyd has recently used a few accounts, user havoj (the same username as his old livejournal, so obviously him) and now an anonymous IP address, to remove the Pokerspot info.

Normally it would be a simple manner of restoring the info, but the problem is that there are now Wikipedia editors, possibly friends of Boyd's, complaining that the Pokerspot info is "too long", falsely categorizing it as "new info", when the info has actually remained there unchanged since 2006, until Boyd recently deleted it, and in 2006 the consensus was that the Pokerspot info was very well written. These editors are now helping Boyd by deleting the Pokerspot info from the page.

I'm not familiar enough with Wikipedia to know the best course of information here, generally I don't use Wikipedia because it's unreliable, but many 2+2ers link to the Wikipedia page when people ask for Pokerspot info. I suppose the best thing that can be done is to restore the Pokerspot info when Boyd and his friends delete it. While I know I've never get my Pokerspot money, it's nice to know that anyone reading his Wikipedia page or searching his name on Google will easily find out about the Pokerspot thefts, so it's a bit upsetting that Boyd has people helping him try to remove this information who may not know any better.

Oh no!!!

People need to move on from the Poker Spot stuff, It's been over 10 years ago. Move along nothing to see here.

Good idea. Thanks for the suggestion, Dutch.

lol

Dutch gonna Dutch.

I'd be doing the same if someone was writing negative comments on my wiki page.

it's wikipedia

he can do whatever the **** he wants

ultimate scumbag

Time doesn't change the fact that Dutch Boyd is a thief and lier.

I agree. In 10 years we should all welcome Lederer et al. back to the poker community,

'Negative' does not imply 'untrue'

Changing his name, and deleting wikipedia facts does not restore his innocence.

****er burned a lot of people.

If you're serious, take a second and think about what you said and apply it to different situations. Do you see how dumb a post it was?

All he has to do is pay back the money he owes the players, and everybody will move on.

You think this is bad wait till Chris Furgeson and Howard Lederer show up at a tournament....

There's a difference between "moving on" and revising history. Definitely agree that the information on Boyd should not be erased from his Wiki page... perhaps even making a separate PokerSpot wiki page with the info as well?

Where else will the history of this scam be documented?
