He contacted us six years later to pay what he owed, citing this thread as the reason, and our issue with him is now resolved and we wish him the best in his endeavors.
At times things have a way of evening out, so this week the above was offset by an attempt to work with a two time visitor to this thread

No photo of Deviant Dave will be posted, not because of any recent GDPR issues, but rather because doing so would cause irrevocable harm to the web camera industry, and a short term impact on the food industry.
Anyway, I recognized the player from back in the days when I played Omaha tournaments on Stars, and while he was never better than an average reg, I knew he could still beat specific O8 games. I contacted his past backer who posted here (UnnaturalDisaster) and together we worked out a structure whereby Deviant Dave would set aside a portion of profits to pay back that debt, while progressing in the stakes (as he banked profits).
Without question this could have worked (we have actually had strong success in the past in similar situations), but the weak point is always the player in this case, and despite playing nearly a quarter million tournaments in his life, he now outright steals funds, even small amounts.
Once someone steals that becomes hard coded into that person's DNA. His past backer after the theft indicated that he had heard that this guy owed $50K+ due to sports betting (which certainly would have been nice to know beforehand), and that Deviant Dave also has two kids. Our sympathies go to them for having this person as a father, along with the DNA that they had no choice but to inherit.
The most embarrassing element of this post from our end is the amount lost on this person. As I read all of the posts of larger four and five figure losses, I wish I could use a smaller font when I report that this person stole just over one hundred dollars from us.
