only 3 months to start looking for a job to pay people back?...pretty quick indeed

Lets look at a few things:

But yet on the 24th of August:

Awesome indeed. Scumbag. Figured things out there pretty quickly. Can't pay $79 to a person, can play a satellite.

But of course it's unfair to expect him to have made some effort to repay you after only 3 months he's been busy, just look at his twitter:

@tacosontilt2 o no? u have my aim?


He can't find time to pay you back because he needs to setup a new Lock poker account. You guys, stop distracting him with that money he stole from you, this is more important.

And remember, it's hard to fit in working around sports.:

I have pm'd this liar and told him to come here when he next logs in and explain how and when you're getting your stolen money back. But hey, after 3 months he's still 'figuring things out' in his last post in this thread yesterday. That will certainly make everyone feel relieved.

Awesome update.

OK, well for starters idk who the **** D.S is, you have no connection to this package what so ever, and most of the things you brought up to make yourself sound intelligent are false. First the satellite you mentioned I didn't play on my own, my friend put me in it. Second, I've never deposited money onto any site because I haven't had any money to deposit. Third, my friend had free seats to that game and I was invited, but hey thanks for trying to be the hero in a situation you have no business being in, I am actually looking for a job, I live in Vegas which as your prolly not aware of has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. As I said, I will post updates when I have them, if your not involved in this package, mind your own business.

Thanks.

And on a second note, If I was a "theif," I wouldn't be responding to these posts in threads, I'm not gonna come in here and update everyday just because you want me to when I have nothing to update. Congrats on being the hero tho D.S, you really did it.

If it wasn't obvious by now, buying action from people who don't have a strong connection to 2p2 probably isn't a great idea.

Well, if I had a nickel for every time I'd heard that one I'd be able to pay your investors back.

As an aside I asked him to update once a week, even just a quick 'nothing to report' each week is better than no word at all. Too much effort for our unemployed hero though, my bad for asking.

maybe I'm mental, but if I owed people over 1k and someone was offering to put me in a sat when I had no money at all my 1st question to that person would be "hey, you couldn't maybe pay off my debt to my investors instead?" but I don't know, I think with my conscience, it always gets me in trouble. Sorry about that.

When you say "Lock bonus code isn't working" it sure looks to most/all people reading that as if you're using it to deposit/play poker. If you're not then why are you using it?

Second, I'm a marketplace mod, it's my place to get involved when people abandon their thread for three months and ignore Pm's from their investors. Sorry if that annoys you, it annoys everyone else more that I have to get involved due to you not being bothered to give them any respect or responses.

He's a mod, *******, and it's time you showed both him and everyone else in the Marketplace some respect. What a completely ridiculous, out of line reply. You let this thread go with no responses for months, only coming in with pathetic "I'm working on things" replies when people hound you for them, and then you dare to cop an attitude when you get called out. Seriously?

Do you know who has a right to come in here asking what's going on? Anyone. The marketplace is a community where people look out for one another. It might be different if people had been in here every day harassing you, but everyone has been extremely patient.

Things go very poorly for scammers in the Marketplace, often spilling out into their real life as their name gets dragged through the mud here and people outside of this forum begin to hear about it. I'd suggest a quick attitude turn-around before that happens to you.

Here are OP's replies, in their entirety, since the events were run, almost 4 months ago, up until today:

Every single one of them in reply to someone else asking for them. Not once does he post an update of his own volition; he needs people to nag him for replies after months with no signs of life. No hints that he's got any kind of a plan. No remorse shown, not a single hint of an apology. But plenty of attitude if he doesn't like someone's reply!

Actually I PM'd all my investors awhile back apologizing, and do you just expect me not to have an attitude when a bunch of people come into this thread with false information and nothing to do with the package?

I am no longer going to post in this thread and will deal with repayments through PMs with my original investors, have fun trolling everyone.

Just remember: Everything happening here is because you didn't have the self control and dignity to safely handle money others entrusted in you. Don't you dare get snippy when the community tries to unravel the puzzle of why nobody is getting paid.

If you post on 2 + 2 then every member has something to do with your thread! Especially when it comes to the Marketplace and the future impact that you and your behavior have on future investment packages.

Yesterday

One PM three months ago is no good if you never let them know anything again. Can you really not understand how bad this makes you look and how annoying your arrogant ignorance of all your investors is? How you can possibly have an attitude is beyond me. You really really need to grow up.

I am an investor and you ignore my PMs and show zero effort to make things right.

Well, good to hear they were PMed a while back with an apology, but it's a shame why you can't understand why your attitude in this thread is beyond terrible, and still is.

Yeah, that's not going to cut it. You were asked by a mod to reply in this thread with updates, and that's what's expected of you.

you were asked 4 months ago, not just from myself but others as well, to post updates and keep investors up to speed on the repayment process, which you don't care to do.

You were figuring things out 4 months ago..

Youre still figuring things out now...

At no point did you post or update on your own, but only after people asked you. Ive sent you a PM asking for an update since to which you don't respond. Then when I post in here trying to get a reply from you, you dont have much constructive to say and it seems like the same flaky excuses. I feel like investors have been more than patient with you, how about you start to make an effort?? How about some weekly/bi-weekly updates like were asked of you right when this stuff went down?? Baffles me that everyone else seems to be working a lot harder at this than you are..

Crazy to think one of the reputable people you list as a reference in your original post to sell this action is also someone you have stolen from here..


Orly? You sound quite confident about this, how would you like to make a quick 40 bucks and buy Joe's debt to me for $200??

A couple thing I learned from this thread

beware of investing in players with low post counts who sell action
beware of investing in players who sell 80% of themselves and are broke
beware of investing in players with low mu in title yet there mu is normal
beware of investing in players with stupid screennames like tacosontilt

hope everyone gets paid eventually

there probably needs to be a change to the "reference" system also.

I don't think anyone should post "references" in the OP and that should suffice. If you are a marketplace regular, references shouldn't be needed. If you are not, then you should have references come in and post ITT saying a nice word for you.

Tacosontilt just arbitrarily listed twelve (lol) poker players as references, he probably just met them all once or something and decided oh hey they are regulars lets list them to make myself look good.

Literally 0 of them came itt and vouched for his trustworthiness (shocker!)

A reference should be........a reference. A close friend, a former backer/business partner, someone who really knows you.

what a joke.

+1.

It's on investors as well, who take this type of reference as a valid way of proving someone's integrity. It erks me how often it is done.

Sigh, he really is a massive tool.

As was made clear to him by both me and Bobo if he wasn't going to update this thread then he had no use for his 2+2 account. All we asked for was a simple update every week, even "no progress yet, working on it"

This was his reply 5 minutes ago:

Joe Hanrahan is just another immature, moronic thief.



Ty, title edited. Also, anyone who had action here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18.../#post29688747 please update that thread

You should edit the thread title so it fits in google search results. Currently searching for Joe Hanrahan the link to this thread reads: "2011 WSOP Package, Low Markup because Joe Hanrahan doesn't have ..."

Photo Evidence for anyone wandering into this thread later on:

its douchers like this why i have a hard time selling packages when I go to live events and dont have a long list of references.

Pay people back, dont make excuses for being a dip****
