WSOP Bracelet Run - Eric Conti is a scammer - Page 8 - Selling Shares

Molesting two innocent 12-year old boys repeatedly over a 3-year span. What type of prison sentence does that carry? Hopefully really long. I would imagine he would wish for chair as I doubt other inmates will take kindly to him.

Regardless, Eric Conti is an awful person and will be doing heavy time in prison, rightfully so.

I wonder what the odds are with the last WSOP ME flight starting today on all packages sold in MP that at least 1 person who has sold a package doesn't actually play the main and doesn't refund or doesn't pay out investors after cashing...

Line set at 0.5, 1.5 or 2.5+ scammers?

To this day it still tilts me hard when I hear his name mentioned anywhere. It is disgusting the money he stole and even more disgusting what was linked above. It is frustrating to be linked to his OP as a reference and I am sorry that several of my friends were used as references and to those who were scammed by this package.

Packages still haven't been refunded though, or a lot of them haven't.

I read the marketplace post-WSOP each year specifically for the scam threads.

It's amazing how they all seem to follow the same mold of initially saying they couldn't play the events due to health/family issues, then it comes out that the staking money was degen'd away playing 5/10NL or in the pits.

There's another thread in this forum that looks like it might be blowing up soon due to the player possibly scamming the investors - no thread updates from the player in several days, and the Twitter account they set up to update during the tournament has just one tweet stating that they're playing the main event.

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

Radom(ish) bump - Is there any way to see if someone did/did not enter an event - in this case the main event? I called the rio, and they said they were unable to reveal that information, but I saw that in the past a 2+2er made such a program.

Would greatly appreciate any help or insight into this.

Dude should def get the chair. This thread is ****ing infuriating. Can't imagine having bought a piece. And then he goes on to be arrested for molesting the kids he tried to use as leverage to get backed in OP. This dude is truly scum of the ****ing earth.

So disappointing.

Jose, I simply read the thread and posted my disgust.
Hiding this thread won't do any good. 2+2 is in no way accountable for pieces of **** abusing the tools they allow us to use.

As a new and recent investor to the mp I can tell you this thread did not discourage me @ all. If you are not aware of the potential risk of investing you probably should not be doing so.

This guys story was just above and beyond scum baggery, that is all.

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.

Homie did the thing. These sentences aren’t easy man. I’ll never forget the day I walked out of Adobe mountain after all those years. That fresh air is too good. Don’t let anybody treat you differently, you’ve done your time. Hope you crush life brother, good luck on the felt. <3
