How do you know he has the "disease", because he said so? Maybe he's just a scammer with a plan.

No, the problem is the value system of the gambling community. It's a morally bankrupt, predatory/parasitic mentality that's praised. Winning players are morally "superior" but losing players who can't pay are scum bags. I'm sorry but just because a gambler is successful at his craft and doesn't owe people money doesn't mean he's morally superior to the losing gambler who doesn't have the ability or control to pay his debts.

I don't expect a bunch of people within the gambling community to agree to that. Because you believe in the parasitic/predatory behavior that a professional gambler engages in. There's a reason that professional gamblers don't have a great reputation in society.

No, it seems like the most likely people to attempt some public shaming would be those on the rail (akin to ballpark hecklers). But anyone who has been to or played in these major MTTs knows the composition of the crowds. The railbirds are generally too out of touch to know what EDog has done, let alone be the types who would do something about it.
Are you implying that if I am playing poker with some guy I heard has stiffed people, but he doesn't owe me anything, I am supposed to call him out for the good of the community?

Ya, he seems to imply that people should get in Ericks face about this, which is a bit much.

The players thought he would loose it back to the game was the idea but, Eli and his wife did hide and seek tricks during the game...handing off and etc..
He became a scumbag. Real scumbag. Rationalized it in his head that those guys have enough of his money so f them!
David about the same as Eli but not as bad yet.
Isnt Eli Elezra worth 20 million and good friends with most players he would borrow big from?

eli has never had 20 million. All those businesses he seemed to have turned out suspect and fraud. He does owe millions to guys he was suppose to be good friends with. Not sure of your point or why that matters. He refuses to pay anyone and says he's backed.
At least Edog rather stays away. Eli elezra is way worse than Edog. Dishonorable scumbag.

You'd think after the StarsRegProblems incident that people would accept that 'those who speak the loudest often have nothing to say' and realize that PrivateWorld is likely another SRP.

This article from 2 weeks ago makes it seem like Eli is doing very well in the Isra-ELI business world. It sais " Elezra owns a controlling stake in the Hachsharat Hayishuv Insurance Company, the Albar vehicle rental and leasing company and the Afridar construction company. His rep still seems pretty solid there.

It's more than a bit much.
If the people who are owed money by guys like lindgrin don't do anything about it, then why should anyone else?
Poker players are the biggest suckers on earth.

Anywhere else if someone stiffs you for even a small fraction of what these guys have done, the stiffer won't even show their face anywhere. these guys still hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions and still show up to the poker rooms without a fear in the world.

Very well said, totally agree. Also, nobody seems to appreciate Eric has a gambling problem and needed help.

it's so strange that all scammers are good people with diseases. why don't any douchebags catch the disease?

becoming a scammer is really looking like a much better than playing poker full-time these days in just about every way possible. scary stuff.

Is this Mex guy trolling?

What are you doing on a pokersite if you think winning players are morally bankrupt and scum? Your only other option is being a losing player and that would be weird if you enjoyed that.

If you can't pay your debts and knowingly gamble, that would be stealing not betting.

Lots of people have a gambling problem and they don't steal to fund their habit....they work etc. Having a gambling problem doesn't make it OK to steal.
