First thread I post get closed, everything I posted turns out to be true.
Second thread I post gets deleted and Im banned. Again, everything I say is true.

If my thread is reopened and if the mod who banned me(he couldnt resist leaving a smart ass message for me) apologies, I will consider giving more info.


Hi deuc3s, welcome back.

I was not the mod who banned you but I'm fine with apologizing if that will provoke you into sharing whatever info you like.

I have stated similarly earlier in this thread when I was trying to convince you to share whatever you wanted. We really did want you to contact us and try to work with us. Even a follow-up PM similar to the post below would have been helpful.

People have to realize, this whole thing didnt come out of the blue, there were whispers for some time. Fulltilt are nowhere close to bust but word is that now might be a good exit time. I beleive the big heads are lining their pockets and making money disappear.

USA is only the start of this, other big players will want their piece of online poker. We may be on the brink of a new industry structure and fulltilt are right now a law onto themselves. There is no regulating and the big heads may just see this as a good time to declare bankruptcy.

I created original thread to tell Euros to cash out imediatly...nothing to do with Americans.



okay, good enough.

I hope you now have a better understanding of why the previous thread was locked. Too bad you didn't contact me (or another mod) earlier to further clarify your case.

Regardless, we are letting you say your piece currently and leaving it up to the readers to decide if you are legit or not.

There was no reason to publicly break your anonymity or anything like that.

Good question. Lets get back on track and away from the topic of whether locking the previous thread was right or wrong.

If he really is a former FT employee (I'm still not convinced...hope OP understands and is okay with that) who is interested in sharing some of his observations then perhaps he will be willing to chat about this a bit.


Anyway, yes...I have not changed from that last quote above (from June 4)..and we certainly do hope you will provide us with whatever you think could be helpful or interesting.

How did you know this was coming down on June 29th? Did pretty much everyone (or most) at FT know that June 29th something like this was going to happen? Had they received written notice ahead of time that there was some sort of June 29th deadline?

Just a few Q's to try to get started but if you aren't comfortable going there or would rather talk about other aspects then feel free.

I'm sorry to rain on your 'orly' parade, but a ton of posts have been deleted or been changed in this thread.

The green post you're quoting did not look like that when I made my post.

Also, this post:

(which I based party on how that green post looked when I posted, partly on my own recollection at the time) was quoted by gregorio with a '.'. That now also seems to be missing.

Not blaming you on your opinion of my posts since posts have been changed and deleted before you got to see them, but if you in any way think the guy I was arguing with has a leg to stand on then you are the one lacking in reading skills regardless of what else has gone on in this thread...

As you can see in my above post, I quoted posts that I made on June 4th attempting to gain elaboration. So trying to work with him and asking for extra info is not at all a new thing. We were practically begging before and still are now.

I'm sure there will be more than one disgruntled exFT employee who will be spilling their guts in the next couple of days.

Deuce3s will either share and get his moment or be overshadowed by every other interview being chased around Dublin ... not that it matters. The message is "Busto" no matter how it's worded

I dont care what anyone says. the guy was legit and we didn't listen to him. shame on all of us tbh. shame on the people who banned him. they owe him a "I was wrong or an apology.

So true.

Not the first time 2+2 has done this - when Neteller execs were arrested they deleted all the early posts about it as well.

The guy comes in and posts some stuff without backing it up in any way. It happens a lot on these boards. Whether or not he actually knew what he was talking about is irrelevant when he did nothing to offer any proof of it.

If you listened to/believed this guy based on what he offered, then you should believe any other dimwit who posts all sorts of "I know"-stuff here without backing it up with anything but their just-registered good name and reputation. Good luck with that.
You're right, but you're not really putting yourself in the shoes of a whistle-blower, and neither are the mods. Maybe I missed it, but did the mods have a containment thread for whistle-blowers?

A guy giving inside info on the inner-workings of FT isn't going to give any information that may incriminate him. These are public forums after all. MicroBob's over-reactions itt (asking for extensive details, and demanding, lol, the use of proper grammar) demonstrate how wrong he must have felt inside for deleting threads and/or banning OP.

The mods should learn from this and find a creative way to allow whistle-blowers to speak their minds. I mean, why not create a sub-forum that is wild west? We're big boys and girls (at least, I hope we are). Have an area on 2+2 where any crank can create whatever conspiracy-laden thread they want, and let the users decide who they'll believe and why.

Re: FTP, I already warned 2plus2

Just came to MicroBob's posts in this thread, and coming from a credible member of the forums, how can you be such a hater? I mean, that was a bit uncalled for..

Re: FTP, I already warned 2plus2

Deuc3s, right or wrong you're undoubtedly a giant douche.

You come in here with some legitimate inside information, granted, but you can't make a post like "Full Tilt poker is going to ****, trust me, you'll see" and expect people to go "okay we trust you dude this isn't the internet or anything"

What was really douchey was when you decided the community OWED it to you to just take your empty statements at face value, and when 2p2 didn't do that you took a "**** it" attitude. You either feel morally obligated to tell the community what's going on or you don't.This middle ground of coming in as some almighty oracle and expecting the internets to bow down is retarded.

You realize up to this point you've helped the community zero, right? You told us so, thanks. now GTFO.

Neither of these things, in as many words. OP was definitely not spamming when he was banned previously imo, it was a knee-jerk reaction to him having said a few things that were, for obvious reasons, deeply unpopular with the 2+2 community. After the initial shots were fired I think we can all agree that most parties involved acted with staggering amounts of immaturity, but I don't think that changes the fact that, fantastic coincidences aside, OP knew something that most people didn't.

Agree. Thank you for trying to help out players.

Less "Mods do a great job!" "Nope! Nazis!" arguments about banning and more content plz.

Re: FTP, I already warned 2plus2

If FTP restarts again without a licence...... should we ban OP again for being wrong again?

He may have picked the correct date but he said FTP would annouce they are stiffing US players....... thats not what happened today.

He also said other things that didnt happen.

As an example he said on April 14th "Fulltilt will not be around in a couple of weeks from now" That date didnt happen obviously.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...loyee-1021269/

He may have had inside info that the commision had given them a deadline of 29th of June to sort this mess out?

Or would annouce a finding on June 29th of their own investigation?

He may have known about the date but is just guessing the rest?
