Not a poker pro but I will say this....IF any mob or MC gang see's there is money to steal they will find people to steal it. On that note they will certainly shut people up that know about it. Chances are if this is true one/some of those involved may well be unable, and wise, to post info anonymously, and any that ARE guilty had better relocate somewhere else. Christ that is all we need is stories associating online poker with organized crime in the news....

You left out Matt and his mafia connects

Love these threads. As if the crusty old nits at the B&M needed any more ammo at this point to counter my assertions that online poker is on the up and not rigged. fml

As if poker is the only company that involves corruption...

Prob because not any swede want to use there real nickname that can be led back to them. It were the same thing on the swedish forum pokerforum.nu when the deleted thread came up about samer and theterrorist. Basically not one famous swedish pokerplayer or big forum-profile posted a comment in that thread, whit there own nick anyway.

The deleted thread was gone in middle of february. OP were clearly getting threatened after posting HHs and other evidence.

Guy in red shirt is Calle Ygborn, poker professional, bubble boy in 2005 main event from Gothenburg.

Guy to the far right in black, Zoran Zoric, accused participant in Casino Cosmopol scam 2011 in Gothenburg. Was convicted for assault the same year.

I'm pretty certain that's him. (http://www.facebook.com/zoran.zoric.1276)

lol

They keep coming out of the wood work.

Isildur is from Gothenburg..

Interesting to know whether he had to meet these guys IRL...

he is friend of samer and marafioti on his facebook...

Zoran Zoric was arrested and is out awaiting trial for the casino scam.

from what i heard Victor got scammed hard by these guys few years back!

source?

Kind of crazy that throughout multiple years of adz's antics and shady dealings pokerstars hansnt banned his account, but then again he probably multiaccounts anyway

There's a bit more to it.
Yes, the simplest way would be for someone to actually load something into your computer, or for you to download an executable file (or an executable file disguised as something else... (a picture, or video for instance), there are also ways of faking common web sites, log-on screens etc. that can fool you into downloading something... but a really good hacker can infiltrate your computer in many other ways. faking updates, finding open ports, whatever... (I'm sure there are some really good hacker/cracker types on 2+2 that can fill us in) As major intelligence agencies say, "If it's connected to the internet, someone can get in."
The best thing you can do is be VERY aware of what to download, and have good security software and keep it up to date. ( far from a guarantee, but it'll keep out the riff raff)

And get a RSA security key . Wont stop someone trying to view your screen obv but should make actual access to your account harder. I've always wondered wether session hijacking is possible on the poker clients?
