Some might call this a grey area now, the accused has finally come forward. Saying he will do the audit I asked for and send the money back
it only took NINE weeks, yes 9 weeks of messages every day and me going public. I will take a guess that me going public did the trick, so i don't regret that at all!
So if the audit is ok and he sends back the money maybe there is a case to take thief out of the title. Either way he is still a scammer and a cheat (fyi i still have not got the audit or the money yet)
After the stunt he has pulled by getting his friend to play on his account and then at at later date going missing and IGNORING my messages for over 9 weeks I have no time and trust for him any more. As per contract rules if you break the contract and I have to stop the stake due to this the make up will be owed in full
This was when I found out someone was playing on his account....
I think I acted fairly
This is Ian saying his account was hacked by someone called Alfonso Baja
So I find out later that Alfonso is a close friend of his and Ian actually told him to play on the account. Here is part of a FB conversation confirming that ....(not to mention everyone that knows Ian knows Alfonso is his friend)
At one point he told me Alfonso is a mad man etc etc, more lies
So this was all a really big problem for many reasons. Ian would beg me a lot of prechops/loans. He would lie to me and say it was for his family, at a later date I would find out he was playing live poker with it
Now here is the really bad bit, the day I caught him doing the above he was playing live poker with money that I had pre chopped/lent him. The only reason I loaned him money was if he met a certain volume requirement per month, the way he got round this was getting his friend who can barley play poker to play on his account.
So this was hurting me in many ways, at the time Ian was being lazy on and of the tables and was not making any money, yet I would give him a loan. If someone is not making money and you are loaning them money it really costs you!
The next problem is his friend was playing on his account and burning my money, I have tons of screen shots with so many bad plays.I posted one of the hands on the scammer website....(calling all in with T8o for more than 30bb+)

So of course with all my players I try and help them out when they are in need, as I said before Ian made a statement on 2+2 once saying I treated him so well, like a big brother. But he was really taking advantage of my good nature
Last year I had the same issues again, all of a sudden his play was ok then it went really bad. Then he would beg for loans and promise to play xxxx amount of games and then go missing again. Please take note I was not making any money from Ian, I helped him loads with support etc but to no avail
his stats/volume for last year ....
So it is pretty clear to see even of he does send my money back and the audit is fine,going missing with my money and ignoring me messages for 9 weeks is pretty damn wrong
Also him getting friends to play on his account so I give him loans and then he takes them loans and plays live poker and stops playing for me is pretty wrong to, to say the least
But I guess there will be a debate here if the thief in the title should get dropped, but there is no doubt this guy is a liar and a cheat and a scammer
No way can I trust him from here onwards to recover the make up, how can I after all he has done
Make up is over $20,000 and as per contract rules that should be owed in full now as he broke the stakes rules
Btw the way I am really making a meal of this because Ian has some how got him self sponsorship in his home country and he is a mod on this site ....
http://pokermanila.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1884
Since posting this thread on that site his mod powers have been taken away. But should he still be sponsored by a well known company after doing all of this? I don't think so. For there own benefit and for mine.
If he refuses to pay back the make up back that he owes (via loans/pre chops and cheating and scamming me) no way should he be able to carry on playing backed/sponsored by someone else.
Why would you want your company to be linked to this guy now anyway? Can you really trust him after seeing all that he has done?
