When I met her this was assumed. We were introduced in an almost secretive way. She felt keeping her identity private was the best idea and I think we should all respect that.

She was a major asset to the community and will be missed. She helped me in several situations and she expected absolutely nothing in return for it. In fact, she refused when I offered. That is the kind of person she was. All she wanted was what was right.

RIP, Diamond.

A big loss to everyone.

RIP

She was such a hero.

Horrible news. She assisted me on a couple issues, and she was a big help to our community. May she RIP.

She did a great job helping the community, RIP, really shocking news.

Really sad, RIP DiamondFlush. Thank you for all your efforts regarding Full Tilt, it meant a great deal to so many people.

RIP, what a great and decent person she was, big loss for the poker world.

Terrible news RIP

Not many people live their life with integrity that attracts the respect of people around the world. My hope is that her friends and family will focus on the good that came from her life and that it will be a comfort to them.

RIP - great respect for your work.

I met Diamond at iGNA a couple of years ago and saw her at other conferences over time. She was always super friendly to me and hearing her opinion on iGaming topics was very interesting. She was never one to back down and I remember once when she got into a heated debate during a panel discussion at GiGse. She was always asking the difficult questions. I think she knew more than many in the industry.

What many may not know is that she paid her own way to most of these events in order to maintain her independence. The past year she was working on starting an iGaming specific conference in NJ (her home state) and I am sure it was going to be successful.

She and her work will be missed.

RIP.

How old was she?

A True diamond in the ruff

RIP Diamond. Thank you for your incredible contributions throughout our community.

The true meaning of Integrity.

RIP.

Ayyyy, very sad. Thanks, DF, for being one of the good ones.

very sad news. RIP

Although we always didn't see eye to eye I respected DF and all the work she did.

RIP

Do any who knew her know if she cared to be anonymous after death or whether the point of the anonymity was for the things she did while alive?

RIP

RIP DF!

Terrible news. Her work on the Full Tilt debacle in particular was investigative journalism at its best.

jesus, awful news. didn't know much about her aside from the selection of her articles i happened to run across but i'm certainly touched by the anecdotes and opinions of people who knew her better. not sure what the extent of her battle with cancer was but hopefully she is in a better place.

RIP.

One of the poker community's brightest lights has been extinguished.

RIP Diamond Flush!
