Mods, please move this to the appropriate area if this is not it.
I would also like to make clear right away that I am of the opinion that said horse did not intentionally scam anyone, but made a dumb mistake that he didn't see the whole way through. I am also still considering staking said horse depending on how this pans out.
I have had my second incident in about a week with a horse. This situation is entirely different, however, and we were looking for others opinions. You see, this particular case involves not only me, but another staker as well.
I am going to post my part of the story, and then bignate904 will be following in the next part with his.
On july 10th, I started a thread giving out $11 stakes to the Daily 40 grand:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/13...y-40-a-826090/. One of the players who I ended up staking in that tournament (as well as in another two tournaments) was legendus. He ran the stake fine, but did not cash. I googled him and checked his posts-there was nothing wrong with him, so I was fine with staking him.
A few days later, I started another post about staking players in MTTs/SnGs for a period of time. I got another inquiry from legendus and was perfectly fine with him based on his past results. Since then I have been staking him in up to $22 tournaments. He has worked up a little ove $600 in MU in the past week. He has been playing well, however, and I had no problem keeping him on as a horse.
Today was when the problem occured. For the first time, he requested to play some tournaments on FTP. I thought nothing of it. I sent him a little over $170 on Tilt to play aschedule that we agreed upon, and he was off. One of the tournaments that he played in was a HU 4K guarantee. He was down to about 16 players left, when I was contacted by bignate stating that legendus was under contract with him to play on FTP, and he had 60% of all of legendus' winnings on FTP. There's the first problem-I had 50% of whatever he won, and Nate belived he had 60%. Nate did not directly pay for his entry to these tournaments, but he had a contract with legendus that he had all of his action. Nate had been staking him for the $3KOs, as well as coaching him. Legendus ended up chopping the last table for just over 1K. He has shipped me all the money. He has not taken anyones money. However, he essentially sold himself at 110% for this tournament according to both of our contracts.
I do not believe that his plan was to screw Nate in anyway. He was going to play the tournaments under my roll, and not use any of the money that Nate had sent him for the tournaments. Howver, he did sign the contract.
I will let Nate fill you in on the rest, I think he's going to do a better job than I will.
