Unfortunally I am also going to have to confirm all this. It would seem I never learn.

despite being scammed, I decided that I would allow jose the privilege of responding to the thread where everyone could read it. This may not have been the decision some people might have taken, but I am not an angry person by nature and felt that I could give him that chance to have his apology heard.

Pretty stupid... especially for somebody already under such scrutiny.

At least he came clean (got caught, w/e) before it went any further.

Re: The Portuguese Poker Prodigy José “Girah” Macedo Scammed HSNL players for >$30,000 HSNL xpo

how about we remove "Portuguese Poker Prodigy" from Jose's title and instead just refer to him as Girah. I mean, it's become quite obvious over the past few months that this kid is young and immature and has been involved in at least 1 incident of cheating and 1 incident with his sponsor.

How about Girah release all of his screen names on other sites because after this, it'd be nearly impossible to trust him as a coach with a live sweat session. Girah, not only have you ruined yourself as a future coach, but now you ruined your empty 100k challenge!

man did the cheating came after the announcement of the poker prodigy or before? if after man your timing is horrible! At least you got talent and more money than me LULZ be happy you'll recover like a normal human being.
