4) Summary:

I staked and coached Ivo from microstakes to low stakes for over a year. When he turned profitable in low stakes, he insisted that he had no food to eat and needed all the winnings for life essentials. I was too weak to say no. He built up a large debt to me of over $800 USD, and then stopped playing poker citing emotional reasons. He has since found someone else to stake him and stopped contact with me.

Don't click on the link above my post as this is what I'm getting.

Wtf are you doing?

Am I going to have to wipe this laptop now?

I did. Ldo.
He's trying to sell some sort of HH parser. I'll report the post for promoting commercial software.
I didn't see anything harmful on the page. Your screenshot shows an uncaught error. IMO just bad programming. But I can't give you any guarantee. If you are unsure head over to CTH, or wipe it just in case.

thanks

Link is working, here is some parser and one database with thief colected from ptp, 2+2 and other forums.

You don't need to wipe your laptop.

Real Name - Simon Cross (used Ian Cross when he applied for staking)

We started staking Ian Cross in July of 2013. It was a little unusual being approached by someone 50+ years old, but not a huge red flag. As his results were good and he supplied a decent amount of information to prove it was him, we decided to stake him.

Almost immediately, he fell out of contact with approximately $1,500 he stole from us.

After doing some research on Facebook, we found that Ian Cross was related to Simon Cross, who is a known scammer. After doing more research, we were able to find the home phone number of Ian Cross (father) and called him. After we told him the story he assured us he did not play poker and that it would have been Simon. He then helped us get in touch with Simon.

After countless calls over 18 months, we were able to collect the full amount he owed.

He made "payment plans" on many occasions and always quickly fell off. We found that if we called him regularly, he would make small payments. As soon as we stopped contacting him, he would no longer make payments or get in touch with us.

For anyone else who he owes money, constant phone calls has proven to produce payments if you stay on him very often.

Good Luck and obviously do not stake.

I started the coaching+staking deal on 16 oct 2014. He was always postponing his playing starting date. He attended just a coaching session finding several reasons.
In December "his brother" contacted me from his skype ID saying that he will send back my money because David is in the hospital having some health problems. I explained him a few times what is the procedure in order to transfer from pokerstars. He asked for my tel number in order to assist him, but nobody called me; neither had I received any skype message from him.
I understand when somebody has a problem but there are already 2 months since then, +1.5months dealying his beginning.

We staked Kyle since February 2013. He plodded along in MU for most of the deal. When we were dealing with another case of theft in late 2014, we realised that Kyle had undoubtedly been doing the same as that individual, i.e. stealing funds from the accounts and obscuring it from us in our monthly audits. We know Sharkscope can be slightly off on results, but there was absolutely no way that the discrepancy between what his MU spreadsheet was showing and what Sharkscope showed could be explainable.

We decided to monitor the situation and said nothing. In early January 2015 Kyle was reporting as having $6,800 of stable funds. He then emailed us claiming that his FTP account (kmksmkn) had been locked with $5k+ inside, due to him logging on from the US in October (Kyle was based in Mexico, but alleged to have moved home). He also stated he wanted to pause the deal.

We are not satisfied with the 'proof' he has given us of the account being locked, e.g.:

- We have asked him multiple times to cc us into emails between him and FTP support but it has not happened, he has only forwarded emails that could easily be fake.
- Kyle played on multiple different sites and $6k is the upper limits of what he ever held.
- He played only a few tournaments on FTP so there would be next to no reason for there to be $5,000 inside

It seems like a convenient excuse for theft and we are almost certain he is lying about this and that there are actually no funds (or very little) inside FTP.

Kyle has returned to us approximately $1,200 this month, even though Sharkscope shows him winning $2,500 in December alone (on top of the bankroll he was using to play with). He has ignored all our messages on Skype, after using that to communicate with us for nearly 2 years. He has replied sporadically to emails, ignoring nearly all of the questions and requests we have made. He did submit us some half-complete audits which included a clearly doctored 888 cashier screenshot that showed him trying to obscure an additional cashout. When we brought this up he deleted his entire imgur account and didn't address it.

The amount Kyle owes us in well in excess of $10,000, but the exact amount can only be calculated with his co-operation. We will update this if he gets in touch and starts to repay his debt.

Other much lesser staking issues with players who were NOT scammers or thieves:

No one on this following list stole money from us but there were issues with their staking agreement that we feel other investors would want to know about before investing in them. For reasons of privacy we are simply going to list Stars screen names, PM for more details. If mods don't agree with this kind of 'grey listing' then feel free to delete, but we think there should be much more of this.

taikura – never stole money, never deceived us but at least twice told us the reason he timed out at all his tables was because he fell asleep while playing.

I see a lot of Brazilian and Portuguese guys involved in scamms lately and this posts here almost don't have impact on local communities. Most of this guys after scamm international backers do the same to local backers. In my teams we have a huge list with scammers that we can share here or in private with those interested. We also have a group in skype and facebook where we help to collect debts using our proximity and connections with people involved( by any means we use violence).

let me know if you are interested in exchange info. Its in all best interest to prevent this guys to keep stealing investors.

Post the list here of course, this is the place for it.

I'm sure we aren't the only backers who have ran into problems with a new stakee that could have been prevented had their previous backer disclosed all the information they had about that stakee.

We staked Pete to play 25NL on PokerStars. Things started well and he was reporting on time/winning money. About 5 days into the stake, Pete busted nearly the entire bankroll in a single session (going far beyond his stop loss), admitted to doing so and sent back the last bit of it to us.

Stake was for $300 , he sent back $55 and he owes $245 make up

He said he would pay the money back but then dropped out of contact completely. Do not stake.

Daniel Gomba owes us 22.3k Euro make up.

continue to stake idiots. gj

Just a heads up but a quick search of both ptp and ChipMeUp for his stars username would have showed he is banned and owes money

and he is banned here on 2+2 under the same name

I would suggest when looking to sign horses, you search them on these sites if you can to help try and avoid or lessen chance of losing in the future

Name: Johnny Olson
2+2 SN: SickCallMcGee

Location: Omaha, NE
Phone: 1 402 686 5939

Johnny reached out to us in regards to relocation to Vegas to play live poker. We had a bunch of e-mails/skype messages back and forth where he seemed very eccentric and made your typical empty promises of playing a billion hours. Although I knew most of it was smoke, if he could even play half the hours he promised, we would be satisfied. We made all the arrangements and contract negotiations throughout November with a tentative starting date of December. He assured us everything was good to go and he could find his own accommodations. A few days prior to being staked, he met up with me on the strip to get his bankroll, my first mistake was not going with my first impression as it just seemed wrong. His first session seemed to go very well and he logged +3 buyins, next day/next session: -3 buyins...Followed by -2 buyins, +1 buyin, then this where everything got weird…. On December 8th, 2014, he sends a text to me saying he was pulled over by the police and being escorted out of the state due to some outstanding warrants or not declaring he was going to Vegas or whatever…. Long and short of it was he was not allowed back into Vegas for 30 days. This is where he took a full 180 and became the polar opposite of the individual we have known up into this point. He started becoming very distant and short with his replies and overall seeming very shady. He said it wasn’t a big deal and he could play in NE for the time being. I informed him that, as stated previously and on his contract, we don’t currently do new stakes for live outside of Vegas and we would need his roll back in the interim. My business partner reached out to him to explain the whole situation again and that he would need to send us funds back and all he said in his e-mail reply was: “Ill be back”... Then we we went days and days without him replying to any of our messages and on 12/17/14 he updates his sheet with two sessions that brings his bankroll down to $0. He then subsequently deleted the sessions, unknowing that Google sheets shows all updates…. We then reach out to him again saying we have already told him several times, as well on the Contract he signed, that he can’t play out of Vegas. After not being reachable again for sometime, he tells us he actually lost that money in Vegas and was too ashamed to tell us and he thought he wasn’t allowed to lose…. So on 12/27/14, he updates his sheet to say the sessions were on 12/7 and 12/8 instead of 12/16 and 12/17.

So we’re now around early Jan and he is being a little vocal. He apologises for his actions and says he is getting his taxes back in early Feb and will pay us back and is sorry for everything. This whole time I am actively monitoring his 2+2 history to ensure he doesn’t seek out a new stake. Fast forward again to yesterday where my business partner reached out to him to see where we were at on the repayment and he just denied everything… said he was never escorted out of Vegas, said he never agreed to pay us back, said that it was now our fault for not giving him more money to play… He then proceeded to say he owed us nothing… but since he was a good guy (his words) he would pay us 5% as a buyout to put this all behind us.

All in all, Johnny stole at least $956 from us and that is only under the assumption that he actually played the first couple of sessions. The whole amount is $1,200. Although I can’t prove 100% he stole the money, the whole situation was just a tragedy to deal with it and I would highly suggest no one take the risk on him. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Gary

Jenny, do the right thing and start paying back what you owe me. You know how to contact me.
