Eric, I have been trying to reach you via twitter and you have been ignoring me. You haven't posted an update for a tournament in over a week now. Can you please post updates so we know what's going on?

I put his name into this program made by a 2+2er and that's the last tourney it shows.

Eric, you haven't entered any events in the last week that you were supposed to enter and now you are ignoring me. You have many thousands of dollars of my money. What the F*CK is going on?

Bump. If anyone knows this guy, especially those who have come into the thread and vouched for him, please ask him to get in touch with me or Ezra. He isn't helping anything by ignoring this right now.

This kind of stuff reflects poorly on all players that are legit, that are looking for backers. OP, have the respect to get in contact with your backers. If you lost the money on something else than tourneys, have the courage to tell your backers. Don't leave them in limbo, for God's sake. This is disrespectful and a disgrace. I really feel bad for his backers, hopefully it has a happy ending, but I don't know how it can.

Does anyone have Crisp/ICFund's contact info? He's also into Eric for 15kish (incl the Horse).

I've been in touch with Eric's current backing team. They are all also highly concerned about the situation, but are encouraging us to wait it out, and see what happens when he re-surfaces.

Holy **** he has alot of investor $$$. I was scoping this and thought it was a good buy and was considering it. I couldn't imagine taking on this much $$$ and bailing on keeping people informed. Hope this works out. Makes the SSL look so bad.

It would be nice to hear from his stakers in case they have more information that they can share with the people that staked this guy for the WSOP.

I just want to post in this thread that I have spoken with Ezra via PM and have told him what I know, which unfortunately isn't much.

Eric, please sort this mess out.

Sorry about this and hopefully this gets cleared up soon

Nice guy. Using your kids to perpetuate your shadiness.

Also, the state of Florida has more scammers per square inch than any state in the union.

You could probably go the rest of your life and never have any significant financial dealings with anyone that lives in Florida and save yourself a ton of grief. I did e-commerce for a site that did over 30 million in transactions while I worked there and FL and NJ were scammer heaven, but especially FL.

Hope this turns out better than it looks.
