What am I saying the bad guys probably have this same software preloaded with everyone in the entire united states names and addresses and mug shots somehow, hopefully it will be able to work around photoshopped crowns/mustaches in order to properly identify the victims so they can then drive to their house to jack them out of the presumably thousands of dollars they have not in a bank or safe location but sitting in their house.
I don't know why some people have such a hard time reading. I did say how people would find this out. As I said in my post, people in his community would know who he is. I'd say probably thousands of people where I live know who I am. I'm saying that making one's winnings public information to those in the community is a real bad idea for winning players.
Fuzzydunflop thinks that a person can post his picture, put a million dollars under his bed and leave his front door open and his money would be safe. His comments show how little thought was put into his decision to submit his picture.
Poker has always been considered easy money by some; and theives tend to go after easy money. It doesn't matter how much money a person actually has on hand. Things can go much worse for people when theives are disappointed.
I realize that this is just a fun promotion. I was simply suggesting that it hadn't been completely thought out. I can't even imagine PokerStar's security allowing a promotion like this to go through.
