Hey all,
Some of you may know about my situation with Jason Burt aka PlastikCards. If not, here are some explanatory links for backstory:

First public thread about this (link)
I'm not going to re-hash this too much, as many of you have already heard about this and know the situation. If you'd like cliffnotes, the links above give a summary of events. My last message received from Jason was on 12/31/2012. After contacting him numerous times (and being blocked on Skype and Gchat), I posted in HSNL on 2/16/2013, and posted a full thread about this on 3/13/2013. It is now 5/1/2013, meaning it's been approximately 5 months--150 days since Jason Burt has contacted me in any way, shape, or form.
At this point the consensus among people (including ahh_snap and aejones in the HSNL thread) seems to be that he has probably stolen the money and expects there to be no consequences.
In fact, I've spoken to some people who know him, and according to him, "there wasn't much of a splash about this."
I don't expect to get any of the money back at this point, but I might as well make a splash. Given this guy's behavior--especially if he stole--he should be called out publicly and have to answer for it.
Again, we've received almost no contact from anyone close to him, although I've had a few minor leads. Apparently he is still active on Twitter (which I think is against the rules to link here), and no doubt he's going to be at the WSOP, being a tournament player. I don't know if it'll make anything of a difference, but if you know Jason or see him, I hope that at least he'll get called out and is forced to answer for this ****. The fact that he's completely ignored this is just absurd.
I've handled this as best I could and have given as much benefit of the doubt as possible. By now it's well past the point of that. All there is left to do is bring this to everyone's attention so people don't do business with him in the future.
