Hey everyone, greetings from Hong Kong.
I will try to make this long story as short as possible. I don't have a laptop anymore. Some sort of hardware failure but it just boots to a black screen. I had it sent in and repaired then it just happened again a few days later and Dell.cn basically told me to go **** myself.
I'm incredibly sorry this has taken so long to talk to you guys about this but there are a few reasons. First one being TwoPlusTwo is blocked in China, and is only accessible via VPN. I am in Hong Kong now on a public computer so I am able to post this. (Hong Kong is not Mainland China and they have uncensored internet.) I tried reaching out to my friend group to use one of their PC's to post here months ago but no one uses a VPN.
Google was also
recently blocked in China so I have not had access to any of my e-mails.
It is not only just TwoPlusTwo that hasn't heard from me in a long time. I haven't been able to call any of my family or friends. jmp said I was active on Facebook last month but I most definitely was not - it's just other people tagging me in things. Trust me, not one night has gone by that I haven't been kicking myself over this stake thinking of how I can pay it out.
Now let's talk about the payment. A few months ago, my Paypal balance was -$580 for a reason I couldn't figure out. It turns out when I made a withdrawal (paypal -> bank) they double charged it and charged me late fees, overdraft, etc. Paypal is completely screwed. Months have gone by and this problem still isn't fixed.
Photo proof. They keep saying I owe them the money but it's basically impossible, how does anyone even end up oweing money to Paypal? Anyway...
The only thing I can think of is having someone willing to take the money from PokerStars and pay you all out via Paypal. I cannot believe such a small quick hitter stake turned out like this and I am both embarrassed and ashamed. After this is worked out I will probably be leaving 2p2 because I really ****ed up here, there's no excuse that it has taken this long to get in touch with you guys, I should have tried harder to find a way.
I will be heading back to the Mainland later today (literally came here just to post this). I have set up a QQ e-mail account that any of you can contact me at and we can discuss options.

I'm definitely not running away with any funds. I guess the only upside to all of this is that it was such a small stake. Ever since all of this happened I have not played a single hand of anything on PokerStars (or any site for that matter) and I refuse to play (for both personal play and backed play) until all of this is resolved because it is not fair to any of you.
Again, I'm sorry everyone and I hope we can work this out ASAP, do not hesitate to contact me on the e-mail above. Really sorry to you as well JMP for putting you in this spot.
