High Stakes Pro cheated out of $4 million online
Full article:
http://www.lvrj.com/news/players-cri...111773964.html

Quote:
Sam Simon -- co-creator of "The Simpsons" -- plays poker with big money, and he has this instructive story to share.

He says a "nosebleed" poker pro -- one of the best high-stakes players in history -- lost $4 million in online poker.

"He was losing, and losing, and losing," Simon says. Then the "nosebleed" discovered why: Someone had broken into his house, and installed a cheat cam.

"He found a camera stuck in his ceiling, looking at the screen" of his computer, Simon says.
