I really don't know anything about this kind of stuff. I would gladly mail the laptop, cell phones, USBs, and sim cards to someone who is more familiar with that sort of thing.

I will post screen shots of what I have on Monday.

Yes, I'm well aware this wasn't a shining moment for me. I don't think there is a shred of hope getting the money back, and that's fine.

Possibly.

He said he was the same Flapjack from UB. He had a picture from years ago of him driving a Cadillac SUV. There is also a user named Flapjack on a car forum asking about the car. I spoke with two guys he went to college with (because he had their names in notebooks) and the one mentioned that he was a millionaire and then blew all the money in the pit. He had seen his account balance before too. So I'm pretty sure it's the same guy.

Had I known the extent of how bad he was obv I never would have. I just looked at his PTR and gave him a trial run to see if we could work something out. Pretty much everyone in live poker is terrible so coaching someone to just be less terrible makes a decent amount of money.


Another thing I forgot to mention was that he had tons of bus/train/plane tickets. I think that was a reason the police might have been lazy. He is a drifter and they said he was probably real far away by now.

Dan had written a lot of really dark stuff down on notes (as in depressing not villainous) and although he was a scammer and a sick individual, I felt bad for him. I understand the feeling isn't widely shard.

One more question. After the train wreck that was DCHG and now this are you going to stay in the staking business?

I bet he encrypted his laptop and it will be pretty much impossible to get on it.

So this guy shows you no results and u just stake him based on his word when a lot of the online stuff is tracked?

You need a new business model and you need to stop leaving money lying around the house.

So what is your plan when he returns in a few weeks to take his laundry out of the dryer?

[x] OP has more money than he knows what to do with.

Yes, staking has been very good to me. Sure, you get some bad apples, but the amount of money I made of dhcg alone more than covers both scams, and I have lots of horses that do well that I don't make thread about.

I had played with him before. I also looked at his PTR, and that was enough for me at the time to meet someone and see if we could work something out.

Whomever called me naive etc before pretty much nailed it. Like I said, not my best handled situation, but live and learn.
