So... you staked a 9 year old?

Our former mtt horse, Joey Johnson, broke contract by degening cash games which were explicitly not allowed and busted his bankroll effectively stealing $3k from us. He did not admit this fact until we investigated and approached him about it. He then admitted to it and took full responsibility and promised to pay back the money he lost, expressed remorse etc. This was months ago and we have not seen a dime. He still responds to our communications and still expresses a desire to pay back but claims no means to do so. He suppsedly got a job at some point and was possibly playing live as well. As far as we know is not playing online. Is from Florida but also has lived/played in NY and has travelled around playing live as well.

We have staked John since last February or so. Until November/December it was fine. Since then, we have had about 3-4 instances of contact with John (prior to this he was on Skype daily).

At the moment he's been out of contact completely for just over one month.

Since then we have:

- emailed multiple times
- left multiple Skype messages
- messaged him on Facebook multiple times
- messaged his friends on Facebook to ask him to contact us
- messaged him at the tables

We are giving John the benefit of the doubt here that there is an honest reason for his lack of response.

This post isn't intended as a blacklisting yet and we'll update the thread if he returns, or if we don't hear from him in the next two weeks.

Guy played on the stake for a few months, made some profits, I then log in to find out he has busted his roll on cash games which he admits, he deposits from his own money and we carry on the stake with some firmer limits set in place.

Since then he has rarely played and I believe he has busted his roll on cash games again or cashed out. He will not respond on skype and has since removed me.

He currently owes $2300 which includes MU for breaking his contract and his current roll.

I hope he will make this right and have this post removed but am yet to hear from him.

I will post more details as and when I get them.

Yeah that would definitely be helpful, and if the dispute is settled the original post in this thread can be edited by a mod pointing to where it was settled.

he paid back the money

Cliffnotes: Went deep into make-up, lied, completely fell out of contact

Full Story:
M.G. applied as a part time player (he also has a day job) in October 2013. Application was strong we signed him up. PLO50 to start with then also PLO100.
Everything went fine for 2-3 months (solid grind, updates and results).
Then results got worse and worse, player went deep into make-up.
We paid for some coaching to find some leaks and agreed to continue the stake under the premise that he was aware that he would have to grind back or partially pay off make-up if things continued to go sour and could not simply leave.
He assured us quote "I am aware of that and I would never just sneak out the back door after all the good things Dan and you have done for me".
He ripped through another bankroll going 5.000 USD into make-up and announced he was "quitting poker" end of January. When I reminded him about our deal to partially pay back make-up and negotiate a payback plan he basically disappeared immediately.
Since Feb4 there has been contact only one time (Feb28) with a message that basically said "sry for being out of contact since Feb4". Nothing at all since then.

We feel we have given M.G. the benefit of the doubt long enough. As all attempts to reach him via Skype or E-Mail have been unsuccessful/unanswered we have no other chance then to post here now. DO NOT STAKE.

Update: M.G. has finally contacted us and a payback plan for part of the make-up has been arranged. Further updates to follow

John is a complete scumbag, he has owed me money for close to 3 years and also owes quite a few other people money from what I know. He blocked me on facebook a few months ago after I started contacting his family and posting on his wall about it. Hasn't responded to any messages on skype etc in a very long time aswell.

Already posted info about this guy but doing an update of how he regards stakers money as a big joke!

Background:

We staked John since last February or so. Until November 2013 it was fine. Since then, we have had about 3-4 instances of contact with John (prior to this he was on Skype daily).

At the moment he's been out of contact completely for just over one month.

Since then we have:

- emailed multiple times
- left multiple Skype messages
- messaged him on Facebook multiple times
- messaged his friend on Facebook to ask him to contact us
- messaged him at the tables
- sent him a letter in the post asking him to get in touch

In this time John has played a lot of poker, including:

- Many cash game PLO sessions, including asking for flips at the table (he is not allowed to play cash games)
- NL tournaments out of limits
- High buyin PLO tournaments out of limit (he is not allowed to play PLO)

The last entry John reported into his spreadsheet was on 27th January, when balance was $6,825 and makeup $3,125.

We linked John to our original post by several means of communication but got no reply, so we've been left with no choice but to blacklist him.

Also:
As a result of posting our original post, another backer has contacted us and told us that much the same thing happened with him about 18 months ago (long periods of going AWOL, playing out of stakes, no respect for money, eventually severing all contact). Unfortunately this was never posted, and John didn't mention any of this in his application to us. I would encourage that backer and any other affected parties to now come forward also.

John Law was formerly staked by me, was dropped in makeup due to an inability to stick to the ABI guidelines/degenning/etc. Agreed to pay back 10k of the MU total when dropped and reimbursed 0. Would definitely not stake him or be involved with him in any way at all.

I had travelled down to and chopped a hotel room at a live tournament in Dublin with John in approx September 2011. John managed to lose all of the euros he had brought with him playing drunk cash on the first night and asked me to lend him some cash to keep him going for the rest of the weekend. He transferred this to me on stars at the time but then ran out of cash a few more times and kept borrowing more but this time said that he had reached his transfer limit and would send me a bank transfer for the rest once he got home. I think the total he had borrowed was in the region of €3.5 - €4k and he agreed that he would send to a bank transfer for £1k which was roughly equal to what was left.

A few days later he messaged me to say that he had transferred the money to my bank account but when I next checked account I couldn't see any record of the money coming in. I asked him about it and he said he had been having trouble with his bank and would resend asap. Over the course of the next 18 months he made up a wide variety of excuses about why he couldn't pay (normally revolving around all of his money being tied up on Lock which he couldn't withdraw) before later claiming that he was completely broke.

As time went on and as I started to get more pissed off he just started ignoring all of my messages about it before I confronted him about it when I saw him at UKIPT Galway last summer where he still maintained he was broken despite being spotted playing live cash (I'm presuming this was with his own money and not Yeti's). I had messaged his family on facebook a week or 2 before Galway to let them know about the situation and he seemed annoyed about this. Despite claiming that he would start paying back shortly after this, he simply blocked me on skype and facebook and has continued to ignore all attempts to get in contact with him.

I have been told that he owes several thousand pounds to a number of poker players from Omagh aswell and he owes another friend of mine approximately $150 after failing to transfer funds after asking for a swap.

Got scammed by Ian Murray for 1k for the purchase of 2 btc.

I have also contacted the authorities for online fraud via this website: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

Wonder why it sounded familiar he tried to get me to share my stake and not tell my backer about a year ago.

Dont stake LOLOL_U_FOLD on stars LOL_Y_U_FOLD on 888 and he goes by HAHA_U_FOLD on a few euro sites also ,is real name is josh tyrrell

He scammed me and jdoug for around 100dollars combined after staking him on pocket fives,we given him ample opportunity to pay but his attitude is its only a small amount of money whats all the fuss about, which proves how immature and selfish he is,he also got caught attempting to chipdump on atleast 2 occasions.
I know its a small ammount and we'l never get the money back, im just letting the community know before he goes on to bigger scams in the future.

First, let me apologize for the delay in this report but after a few months of periodic updates and promises of reimbursement, we decided to give him a chance.

We staked Joe for the month of January for 1/3 in Vegas. When he applied, he said he was moving from Florida to Vegas and wanted a stake. He started the month on a bit of heater and quickly made some profit. He then disappeared for a few days with little to no contact... Finally he reached out to us and said he was very sorry but he saw an amazing 2/5 game and decided to play it and subsequently busted his roll. Given that he started off okay, was very apologetic and promised to repay the initial $1.2k roll out of his own money (from some settlement or something), we decided to give him another chance. After he got back to the tables, he quickly ran it up another few bucks, rinse and repeat.... Furthermore, under further investigation, we noticed he was playing live tournaments while on stake (clearly with the stake money).

He currently owes us $2.2k (arguably more if you include the ~$1.5k in winnings he freerolled us for). After his first hiatus, he promised he would give us $1k within a week, then it turned into $500/week then it was $500 now and rest later.... In my opinion, he has a gambling problem that he needs to get help for.

Hoping that Joe actually gets back in touch with us and has some sort of integrity to try and make this right but how everything has progressed... I seriously doubt that.

If you happen to see him playing at the Venetian... Be sure to say hello for us

Currently missing and out of contact, Mihai-Claudiu Stoica

Stars: camistoclam
Stars.FR: camistoclam2

We've staked Mihai since August of last year. He has currently been out of contact for 5 weeks and owes us $7k from a recent profit split. On 24th February he said he was going to vacation in the mountains, and on 2nd March (the last time we heard from him), he said he would be back in 1-2 weeks.

Since then we've left messages with him through every possible means (Skype, email, Facebook, at the tables, to his phone) but with no reply. Mihai won the Big $55 early in the agreement and promptly sent our share, so we're giving him the benefit of the doubt here that he is still on vacation.

This post isn't intended as a blacklisting yet as there could very likely be an honest reason for the lack of contact from him. We'll update the thread if he returns, or update it to become a blacklisting with his details if we don't hear from him within the next week.

http://pokerprolabs.com/camistoclam/pokerstars/2014/any seems to have been playing everyday for the last month so would appearto be strange that he can't reply to emails or skype

I play under JCTRANNY on PS. And I'm writing about how I got myself in a big mess and screwed up with my investor(s) monies, multiple times.

I've been getting backed by Michael Eiler (MAE9690) for about 8 months until Fall '13. I was grinding mostly low sng's in the beginning and eventually moved up from crushing the stake. Afterwards I moved onto higher limits. As time passed, the stake monies was coming up and down, my game wasn't fully adjusted for the variance and game play. I found myself in a bit of make up, about 4-5k make up. I then binked a few K to clear it and came back. Then back to make up again over a short period of time again. He was a real good investor/friend, helped me out when I was in MU and needed money, I was spotted money a few times and I couldn't say how good of person this guy was.

I binked 11k in a 55$ buyin and we split it. We continued the stake and I found myself in a bit of make up again after. I asked him to leave and allow me to play for myself for abit , which was granted. I kept switching our staking plans and coming in and out. I was probably a real headache for him. But when it came down to splitting our winnings/profits, I've had no problems here. I did have a problem when I hit rock bottom and screwed up with gambling debts, I took the stake monies and played games where I wasn't and loss. But I've paid him back the money I loss fully now. I currently owe him 2.4k in a buyout from previous make up we agreed on after I paid him back for the money I screwed up with.
Michael Eiler and I parted ways bascially after I screwed up and then I paid him back after for the money I loss on games I wasn't staked for.


Ex6tencelv staked me after I screwed up with Michael, I binked 12.6k on the first week of him staking me. We split it happily and I kept playing under a stake. I then payed Michael some money I took. I got into make up with Ex6tence and I started punting all my money in the same time. I went bankrupt betting sports and being a real degen. I told him I fuked up and
I asked him to borrow some money and let me do my own thing for a bit, Ex6tence helped me and agreed. I then afterwards got into more make up about 3k total, I dumped 1k he staked me for in games I wasn't suspose to play as well. But then it gets worse after. At this point I'm in a little debt but just not sure what I'm doing with myself, no money management, not having enough ambition, feeling stressed out, and not sure how to proceed really.... life tilted.

Daniel (Hanamichi23) then staked me and I won 10k in two tourneys... on the third or fourth day of him staking me. We did a profit chop. I told him about my previous debts and concerns. He told me it was best if he dropped me because I'm a degen. Probably wasn't a good idea that I said that but that was the rest of it and our relationship ended.


In meantime I was searching for a stake again, I found myself dumping money in the local sports bookies, two different ones. and was bascially in 6k in debt from the period of time with no money. While two days before this I had gotten a staking deal of 2000$ and 50/50 plus coaching with bubbleoutcas. I told him I took his money to pay the bookie because I'd get my face smashed if I can't pay the bookies.
And to this day I still owe him for about 3-4 weeks now. for the money I took. But the worse is probably afterwards I got myself into a bigger mess. I'll let the guy out me
and he can explain what I did.

I was never looking to steal or harm anyone in the poker community, I've had some real issues lately with gambling and these demons got me. I really have to get rid of them all. And I'm really ashamed of this. I've ruined my name and burnt all my bridges in the poker community.

I know this is unacceptable and I probably won't be trusted anymore. But I will repay everyone I owe accordingly. I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused. And will promise that everyone will get paid back.

Also been scammed by CChinaman. Started staking him a month ago, gave him roughly 3k and he used it to pay other debts, then he won 7k on my money and instead of paying me back and ending the stake he withdrew it. In total he owes me 5k.

My gambling problem isnt an excuse but I never wanted to scam anyone. I wouldnt say I scammed anyone, because I never planned on taking the money in advance with the intentions of not giving the share/returns;amount to the investor back, plus I would have stolen 10k a piece from three different investors, wouldnt you think?. I did something irresponsible and put myself in a horrible spot where I havent been and had no choice, facing a situation invovled with shady people who run bookies, u must understand from my view that bookies/locals are issues that arent avoidable in a situation. Again im sorry to everyone I owe and will work on repayments in a transaction thread. Ill keep in contact with everyone and sort this out. In the meantime ive burnt all my bridges and in a bad spot, I will have to get out of it but your patience for repayment will probably be needed I owe quite a bit to several people. Ill pay in prioty im sorry, I hope im forgiven, as a token of my good gesture I will give a token of my action in the future for a generous freeroll package ill come up with. My word isnt much I guess but ive been honest thru out the situations and I hope you understand I have a sick disease from gambling.

Walked out on $18.5k in makeup, "stole" at least some amount of stake funds by transfer(s) he "forgot" to make on non-staked sites and subsequently lost the funds and also begged for and received a loan from a fellow stable mate that was never repaid. In total somewhere in the low $20k's that he is responsible for. After sporadic communications and excuses over the past months has now seemingly dropped off the face of the earth. Won't return skypes/texts/phone calls/emails. He initially Acknowledged poor communication and the need to work off his makeup and had various excuses but is clearly now just dodging his debts and generally being a worthless scumbag.

Originally from Asheville, NC area and is his last known location, within the last few months. Has also lived in Costa Rica and at least stayed in Roasarito, Mexico.

Formerly roommates with and staked by Leif Force and known to travel/play live with him as well.

Known to hang around and play at the Harrah's Cherokee Casino near Asheville and may be currently playing there.

Do not stake. Do not trust. Please do call him out and refer him to this thread if you are in contact with him.
