JROSEALM repays 2p2 members of at least 1k after pressure from 2+2 thread - Small Stakes Pot Limit Omaha

Any way to contact him or his family would be appreciated. Money was stolen around Dec 5 in the MSNL sports discussion thread. Do a search for "JROSEALM" in that thread for more details but basically he just owes money and has disappeared.

Any information as to his whereabouts would be appreciated by many in the MSNL community.

Are you saying it's not worth the trouble alerting people about the scammer, or not worth the trouble asking for or providing information about him, or not worth the trouble trying to get the money back?

Does the fact that this is HSPLO mean that we should look at $1k like it's a pittance and not worth the bother? Maybe it is for some people, maybe it isn't, but this almost surely has just as much, if not more, to do about the ethical aspect as it does the financial.

Wasn't there a bunch of other shadiness with this guy? Pretty sure the same thing happened once before with him disappearing when he owed money on sports bets. iirc, he also was very tight with boobysmiles / ugotabanana and had his ftp acct permbanned for letting booby MA on it, and he used to talk a lot of smack on here, once challenging donkpredator to hu4rollz at 5/10 and getting destroyed.

there needs to be some justice in these cases, not to derail the thread but what happened in the Dr Runsick case?

I wouldn't be surprised if he is broke. I played him heads up a few months ago and couldn't believe how bad he was.

What is JR's full name. He is a Daily Variance co author. They should make a statement about him as they are recomending him on their website.

I've let him know about this thread. Hope he is not in any trouble and that this is just a misunderstanding.

1k seems such a small sum considering there's no way he'd get away with this and wouldn't be able to pull it off again. If it was like 10k+ I'd be more inclined to think he's guilty. Not saying that's a big sum for a high stakes reg, but if he's gone busto, 10k will sustain him for a good while.

Bleh, I'll just grab some popcorn and stop speculating, don't know much about the guy other than his 2+2 name and the stakes he plays.
