Lol, I have droopy @ stars too

gl! make us some money :P

all shares taken for now.

Just sent on Stars, from spedmonkey87. GL!

received

Really looking forward to this now it's getting closer, seems like it's been ages since you put all this up. I'm going on holiday on the 27th and I'm sure you can send me off with a lil extra spending money

hopefully!

To whom it may concern:
This message is for anyone who has taken part in purchasing shares from golt0807. I regret to inform you that, due to a case of an emergency, golt0807 will not be participating in the upcoming series of tournaments. I am his brother, and i know how hard he worked to gain your trust investing in him. Hes been unregistered in these tournaments and everyone will see a full refund within two weeks. Again, i do apologize for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Tim (golt0807's brother)

hopefully everything is ok. this was my first time staking, was looking forward to it.

*Facepalm* Hopefully this is legit.

Hope he is all right, and yeah i really hope we will see our money back

Why is his "brother" referring to him as golt when his sn is gunth?

Ah, thats his FT name. Well this is a bit bizarre. Would Tim or OP care to explain why its gonna be 2 weeks before we receive our money back?

because his Fulltilt sn is golt0807 and his brother just had to unregister him?

I dunno, it's not like he's known as golt0807 or gunth0807 in his family.

This just smells way too fishy.

+1

In before the hopeful "Just bluffing guys."

i was staking OP for maybe 2 weeks er so and he handled the stake pretty well and was professional during it.

i bought 10% of this for just that reason. i would give him the benefit of the doubt although taking 2 weeks to pay back isnt right.


the money is in account, and his "brother" should just pay it all back.



note: i do have some of his personal info because i require that from everyone i stake.

I'm prepared to give OP the benefit of the doubt until we hear differently, sometimes things come up that are more important than poker. As long as we all get our money back then I can wait 2 weeks

Good job Zima, that is a little relieving.

"the money is in account, and his "brother" should just pay it all back"


not sure i worded this right. what i meant to say is "if the money is in the account and the brother just unregged him from all the mtt, than the brother should just send all the money out"


i have no knowledge if the money is actually in his ftp account.

OP has been buying shares of other MTTers and has a decent posting and playing history so I don't think this is an outright scam. I see from his pokerprolabs that hes been playing a ton of satellites to mini FTOPS events. I'm thinking the issue might be that he's used some stake money to enter these and now has tournament dollars he needs to turn into real dollars before he can pay us back. He is up a little over the past few weeks, but not that much. Maybe his plan was to use the stake money to grind out these satellites and pay for his own part like that.

This is just conjecture and I might be way off, but I wouldnt have to be making guesses like this if OP or his brother would be straight with us. I realize that emergencies and things more important than poker come up, but if your brother has the time to create an account and post that, he has time to tell us exactly what is going on and/or ship the money back.

+1. That would really bite, for the first time staking someone to not have a solid explaination.

When you think you have something to say like this, you should have more to say. Why is it that everyone thinks saying the minimum is enough in these situations? This of course assumes it's a legit post.

While investors may be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt it certainly won't satisfy MOD CURIOSITY going forward.

I was thinking that too apefish. But I was thinking if I had an emergency and had to have my brother post here, who knows nothing of poker, it would be limited. I have no stake in this thread, but I'm being staked in the mini-FTOPS and these situations hurt everyone. I hope Gunth is okay. Also, you can convert $T to cash, so that shouldn't matter. Just my opinion.
