Apologies for making two posts of this nature in quick succession, but these incidents both occurred independently of each other but within a short space of time.

Aaron Easom

Hey everyone, I’m writing this post on behalf of Bankroll Supply regarding Aaron Easom, who recently left the company. As with the previous post, I don't know of Aaron's screen name on 2+2, or if he has one in the first place.

About a week ago, Aaron came to his mentor to explain that his circumstances may be changing, rendering him unable to commit to the volume requirements of BRS. Despite being in significant make up it was agreed that he could leave without paying any of it back, on the proviso that if he wanted to re-apply in the future he would start with his existing make up. Aaron had left and rejoined bankroll supply several times in the past under these terms. Around the same time as this discussion, Aaron’s daily roll was removed as a result of consistently poor volume. On Thursday 22nd September, Aaron asked if he could start playing again, as he thought he could commit to the required volume. This was agreed, and his daily bankroll allowance was reinstated. That night, he reported that he’d lost the full amount he’d been given for the day, and told BRS that he wouldn’t in fact be able to put the volume in and wanted to leave immediately.

After a look on sharkscope, it was evident that he had played only one $5.50 MTT that day. He also changed his password on Party Poker so BRS could no longer access his account. After being confronted, he stated that he had lost the full amount playing tournaments. Obviously we already knew this wasn’t the case. He then stated that he had lost it playing cash, something he wasn’t permitted to do under his sponsorship arrangement, but after receiving an account audit it was confirmed that he had withdrawn the money instead. Aaron was then contacted by his mentor and responded by blocking him along with other members of BRS from Facebook, and not replying to attempts to contact him. BRS are still investigating the total amount of money stolen and whether this was an isolated incident. As yet we don’t know the circumstances surrounding why Aaron has acted in this way.

BRS has since found out that Aaron is banned from PokerStars. This is due to an incident where he deposited money on to his account using a credit card that wasn’t his own, without the permission of the owner. This was discovered and his account subsequently suspended.

I have since found out that he went to play 08 $5/10 on Stars and dropped the lot.Through a 3rd party I heard he wants to pay myself back but as of now has yet to reply to any of my messages.
Avoid backing.

Went missing a couple of months ago with no reply on Skype. Just about to post neg on here when he messaged saying he had to go to Vietnam for a family crisis. Saw he was signing in and out of Skype but claimed it was someone in his Czech home as he couldnt access Skype in Vietnam. Said fine but to actually let us know if he didn't plan on playing for a while. Reloaded him and he played on fine. Then just stopped playing since 6th September with no response on Skype at all.

Thanks for posting this. I've removed him from a fb page I admin for in case he tries to scam any of the members out of money.

Been a while since I posted in this thread, but alas some stellar examples of humanity have forced me to visit yet again.

Backed this player for a couple months and then he vanished for a while without any contact. A week later he said he would be back in a week. After that week passed he said he would be back in another week. After that week passed he said he would be back in 3 days, and after that he said he would be back in a day. Apparently his evasion excuses had a built in half life to them.

Anyway, upon receiving the standard "tell us what you did already" email, he countered with a screenshot showing that Pokerstars had closed his account, and indeed it could no longer receive transfers. When asked what happened, he said he had to go out for a few days. After that he did eventually share his edited correspondence with Pokerstars, where they asked some standard security questions, and naturally being the gifted soul he is - he answered them in just about the worst way possible.

Anyway, we are not entirely sure what he did, though it likely involves the account bleibleids on pokerstars.fr as well/ He mentioned something about a cousin of his that he swears he barely knows other than he lived with him for a while and they used each others computers.

The last messages from him were basically


[12:38:46 PM | Edited 12:39:37 PM] ChinkzyLV: i will be here within 3h

then a few hours later (hey, at least he was punctual)

[3:29:30 PM] ChinkzyLV: will be back in 1h

then eventually

[5:16:45 PM] ChinkzyLV: im back, im drunk atm... it seems like my account will banned for life. situation with me is really complicated, because all the funds are frozen and I can't access any funds. I dont know what to do...
[5:18:16 PM] ChinkzyLV: actaully im drinking this whole time since my account got frozen

so it seems he has chosen a new career with better liquidity to it.

I guess warning others to not back this amusing specimen is moot given his account being closed, however purchase booze for him at your own risk.

We backed him two separate times for a long time. He was in makeup (about $8,000) though he had recovered from that before. However he vanished and when he re-surfaced he let us know that he stole the last few hundred that was in his account, but he definitely planned to pay us back.

[7/29/2016 10:28:35 AM] David MacKinley - staked: Ok it's going to be all about me getting back on my feet and stable again ...which should not take me to long ...I will keep you posted ...thanks for understanding

Needless to say, that was the last contact from him, despite several attempts on our part, so this person, who has chopped the Sunday Million, is now someone who steals a couple hundo. Well done. Anyway, it seems he has quit poker, so again I doubt anyone has to worry about backing this person in the future. The first guy was a standard life donk making life donk choices, but this one was a disappointment.



Also, we have a few small stragglers from Portugal we backed on BCP. Tiny stakes and I doubt any backer would bother backing them anyways (if and when Portugal returns to Pokerstars), but just to be safe here they are

Burnt through a few reloads claiming running bad. Asked for reloads when had plenty of $$ in bankroll, when questioned said his mentally ill dad had used his account and gambled away our roll in casino. Asked for audit and found loads of inter account transfers which he hasn't explained and 8320 casino bets. Finally admitted it was him and he had drug and gambling issues and is in rehab but wanted more bankroll to grind us the money back.

Stay clear.

I had a online staking deal with Nathan quite awhile ago and we agreed to switch it over to a live staking deal because I never had issues with him while doing an online deal even though he was losing in the games. The live cash stake we set-up was extremely soft and the deal was set-up where he would make some money while grinding off the make-up at the same time. He burned through quite a bit of money at the stakes he was playing and after I reloaded him in mid June and have not heard anything from him since early August. No responses to skype messages, texts, or phone calls. Hopefully everything is ok with him but in the poker world it's usually just a guy stealing funds and then not contacting you anymore unfortunately. Will update the thread if he gets in contact for a payment plan.

played for us for 4-5 months where we didn't have any problems with $ but was generally a pain with requests for different games etc. We asked for an audit for the 2 months and the reply from him was "i can't send an audit as i've had a bad situation in life. do want you need to" since this message in regards to the audit he hasn't responded. We believe he may have other accounts since but can't prove it at the moment. Will update with more information if/when we get it.

he currently owes $1.7k make up.

It's none of my business, but since I'm a part of this community and I don't like shady people in it, I think I can post.. Does this lad owe you any money? I see him on ACR from time to time. The first time I remember him berating every player in chat. Pretty atrocious player. Sits out often, jams 40x with AA but somehow has luckboxed +$12k on ACR. If he owes you anything, I would get ahold of his backers (he has applied for stakes for 2 months straight, so i assume the last one he applied for). glgl

888: writeitdown1

Played a minimum $1k in off-stake MTTs that he was not permitted to play. I audited him for the last 2.5 months only and he has been with us for 6 months.

We gave Phil the option of 1) continuing, he deposits and sends us $1k, no off-stake games no more mistakes or 2) setting up a repayment plan for the full SBR + MU.

Phil chose option 1.

The very first day after choosing option 1 and resuming the stake, Phil played an off-stake MTT with our funds.

We immediately said we have to part ways and asked for a repayment plan. We now cannot get a response from him.

Name: Nickolas Panchenko
Stars: Bespont

We chose to part ways and asked for simply the cash he held that was ours, nothing more. He refuses to send that back. He owes us $600.

Name: Pawel Janik
Stars: MasterInsekt

Played 7 sessions without updating his rail. We gave him the option to fix things going forward or to part ways and he repays us MU + SBR. He agreed to repay. He sent $150 and has not sent any other funds and stopped communicating with us.

Pawel owes us $900.

Especially a disheartening case considering how "Kap" was leading group coaching sessions just months prior to this with or without the management overseeing it, while scenarios like this might suggests about the quality of strategy material distributed under the Pocarr trademark.

Information: We staked Kevin for live poker games and he started with good communication and winnings. Over a long weekend in February, Kevin unexplicably blew the entire bankroll over the course of a few sessions without telling us. He played in games that he was not authorized to play in and broke the stop loss. Kevin admitted to wrong doing when information came to light. We have also heard stories about Kevin and his gambling habits in the pit, which means he could have lost more than he claimed. We lost a total of $3500. Kevin had a payment plan at first but has since dropped out of contact over the last several months. He has paid back $1300 and the debt owed is $2200.

Name: Marco Antonio López
PokerStars: Uteped

Party: Mr_monkey99

We asked Marco for an audit which he sent. We found he was taking top-ups and withdrawing those. When we asked about this he admitted he has withdrawn several thousand ($3k minimum) for school. Given he sent the audit and did not admit anything suggests he was hoping we would not find this. We told Marco we cannot continue backing him and need a repayment plan for the $13,697.92 in makeup+SBR.

Should Marco repay half of this amount, we are open to backing him again as that would show us a lot in terms of his character. But as of right now we cannot stake him and must post here.

We will update should we come to an agreement on a repayment plan and Marco successfully follows through on that for a few payments.

Marco currently owes us $13,697.92

Name: Marcin Milde
PokerStars: marcin123

Marcin accumulated $24k makeup and decided to get a job and figure things out. We agreed upon a $500/mo repayment plan. The first date came and went and he informed us that he is considering quitting forever and cannot repay this. This is a breach of our agreement that says he will continue playing 200 games a month until makeup is cleared.

Contrary to what many in the community think, this is not acceptable. This puts players in a position to freeroll backers where they get 50% of the upside and if things go poorly they can just quit. We would never invest in a player if they could quit at any point. This is why we have agreements that both parties read over, agree upon, and sign before any funds are ever sent and any games are played.

Marcin owes us $24,043.79

Agreed to stake/coach player who has not contacted me nor updated results in over a month. Owes $300 currently. Scans will be removed if funds are sent back to me.

This is a player who we backed a couple times for a long time, until eventually he told us he probably needs to quit poker. Unfortunately there were some other difficult behaviors along the way.


Ivan Maciel Neto

A challenging player to work with, as he played improper games many times, including a final blast of what was left of his bankroll. When asked about that he indicated that since he had done that before without us reprimanding him that he interpreted that to mean he could do it whenever he needed. He has not won at poker in a long time, and unfortunately he does not like coaching - citing a phobia of speaking to other people. He did not like the idea of playing at different times (when the games were softer) because he did prefer to wake up around noon. He did not want to put more volume in. Unfortunately it is now 2016, approaching 2017 - so it is not surprising that his general approach no longer produces income, except for chops in makeup when he has a good day or loans.

He did openly questions whether he could win anymore at poker, and suggested he may have to quit permanently and go back to squatting at the airport to get food scraps (probably one of the weirder statements I have heard, I assume in an attempt to make me feel guilt for the first time in a long time). I suggested we try to find another backer for him (a couple were interested) who would purchase the makeup at a discount (with a healthy reduction in makeup to Ivan as well) to provide him with some different intense coaching and bring his game back to 2016. He refused, citing the phobia of talking to people. He had little interest in extra coaching with us as well.

If he was choosing to quit poker, I suggested a fair resolution was for him to pay back about 50% of the makeup (actually was closer to 30%), but he said he could not do that as he would have to sell his fridge. I thought he must have a nice fridge as that would be around $2,000! He did make it a point that he is not a thief, and to prove that he did send back the remaining 60 cents in his account after destroying the last $600 playing improper games. Indeed I confirmed that this helped show that he was not technically a thief, although it might also show that he could not find a 60 cent tournament to his liking...

As for him quitting poker - he quickly locked his sharkscope after, though forgot to do that on other tracking sites, so as is usually the case quitting poker ends up being not quitting poker. No real surprise there.

Now does this belong here? Technically, he did not openly steal funds (though people can debate how playing improper games falls within the theft category). As a human he was not that bad. He was definitely a good investment a couple years ago, however the game passed him by and he would not do what was needed to adapt. As well, he did violate several rules on many occasions, and the difficulties he suggests he has (particularly with talking to others) makes it a total package that needs to be posted to warn other backers to avoid the same mistake.

Rod has had issues meeting the volume we agreed upon. We asked him to fix this going forward. He has a $16 ABI this year and was registering $1 and $2 games in October in an attempt to hit the volume at the end of the month. When we have messaged him via Skype he has either taken ages to respond or not responded at all. Rod is not working on his poker game and we've chosen to part ways.
