I started a staking arrangement with Iosebica Tudor Dan a few years ago. He was playing poker part time and working a job. His results were never great but he seemed to have a good attitude so i was happy to work with him and felt he had the potential to improve. Over the years I always tried my best for him, often going way beyond what would be expected from a backer in order to encourage him to reach his potential. I gave him a lot of free coaching and also allowed him to make profit splits despite being in make up. I also spent time helping him to find the best value games.
Iosebica Tudor Dan was stuck in a job not making a lot of money and he seemed unhappy in life. I told him many times he should consider going full time in poker. I even talked about paying him a monthly amount to enable him to cover his expenses. Eventually he told me he had decided to finally make the big step and play full time. I was delighted to see this and I felt this would be great for us both. We decided on grinding cash, i spent even more time coaching him, advising him and setting it all up. I also gave him access to a bunch of valuable coaching material for free.
Iosebica Tudor Dan quit his job and moved back to his home city to live with his parents. A few weeks into him playing full time he went silent on me for several weeks. This was not like him and naturally I was pretty concerned. After several messages he finally got in contact with me and said he had got a great job offer and was therefore not going to continue in poker. I could accept and understand this, but what angered me was after all I had done to help him he couldn't even take a mere few seconds to write to me to inform me was going to quit, but rather i was forced to chase him to get this information. This was very disrespectful in my view, especially given he was in nearly 1k of make up at the time. I also don’t buy the "job" story (more on this later.)
This all left a bitter taste in my mouth but I decided it would be best to bite my tongue and just ask for a repayment plan for the MU as this would give me the best chance of a reasonable resolution. I have since messaged him several times over 2 weeks asking for him to agree to a repayment plan but he continues to ignore my messages and not respond. I issued Iosebica Tudor Dan a final warning and told him if he did not respond I would go public. His Skype status changed from away to offline after this, so I believe it is highly likely he saw this message and yet continues to ignore me. At this point I feel it has become clear he has scammed me.
Regarding the job story, I have a lot of reason to believe this is also bs. The guy told me he was going back to his old city to live with his parents to allow him to live cheap and grind full time. It seems very suspicious to me that a few weeks later he suddenly has landed his dream job despite no longer being in the economic capital of his country and despite him telling me for years he was stuck in a miserable dead end job with no alternatives. What I believe is far more likely is he simply took another staking deal from someone else that was offering him higher stakes or a better deal. He had a friend who I was also working with who was constantly talking about Dany playing on higher stake sites who made an appearance around the time he started acting strangely, so it would not surprise me if he was involved in this. Regardless, I have no way to prove these claims but the way he has acted since quieting the deal has only increased these suspicions. All in all, Iosebica Tudor Dan is extremely disrespectful, has scammed me for the make up and is clearly someone that should not be worked with or trusted. Iosebica Tudor Dan is a scammer and thief and I suggest you avoid doing any business with him.

As mentioned in my previous scam post, this is the friend in question. I met Doroftei Alexandru via Iosebica Tudor Dan. Iosebica Tudor Dan assured me that Doroftei Alexandru was trusted and motivated. Doroftei Alexandru approached me to ask for me to coach him to play PLO cash.
After speaking to him I was convinced enough he was serious about the deal and therefore took a long time discussing and planning the deal with him. I felt this was a good investment as in the long term he would show me a good return on my equity and I would enjoy the challenge of working on a project like this. We agreed a deal in which Doroftei Alexandru would put up his own money and I would provide him with coaching for a year in return for a cut of any profit he made. I put a lot of time and effort into the coaching sessions and constantly asked him for honest feedback and it was all positive. He had a lot of leaks, but he was improving fairly well with my coaching.
Then he came to me and told me he had tilted and jumped up stakes and busted his whole roll in one hand and had no more money to deposit until after he had taken a vacation to Rozvadov. I was not very happy with this as since I would be only receiving money if he made profit, I didnt apreciate that after me puttinga lot of effort itno helping him he had gone and tilted off a large chunk of his bankroll in such a stupid manner. I was also annoyed that I had to now wait a long time before he would play again even though we had a clear volume agreement per month. I was ok with him taking a vacation but now I would have to wait it out in the weeks before his vacation on top of that which was not part of what we had discussed. However, since he seemed a decent guy overall and seeemed apologetic I decided to let it slide this time.
He told me the date he would return from his trip. Once that date had passed I sent him several messages over the next few days. I told him I wanted to get an urgent update and all I got was a thumbs up emoticon. This was pretty tilting and insulting after I had already been kept waiting so long and now it was apparently too much for him to write a few sentences to explain what was going on. After I wrote a long message detailing my frustration at the situation and the way he was acting I finally got a response which was even more tilting -
“hey man, sorry for the late response. the situation is as follows: the things in rozvadov didnt go as i would have wanted, losing a few k. i have reviewed my options and i have decided that poker wont be a priority for the time being, therefore i wont be depositing any time soon, at least not for plo, maybe in the future on some mtt or nl cash, these being games i have a bigger confidence and skills. i have decided to invest a big amount of money in crypto and other projects so i will not have time for poker and i dont want to lose your time. my late response isnt due to lack of respect over you, i really appreciate what u have done and how you treated situations and i hope to collaborate with u in the future, i just needed some time to make some calculations and take some important decisions in my life. regarding the unsettled money, u can give me a netteller account and i ll transfer you in max a week the amount owed, there is absolutely no problem. regarding my friend that wanted to play mtts, i have talked to him and he will take a decision if hes gonna play mtts or cash nl in the following week, and if u want and can give him options to play, he can be in touch with you. again, i m very sorry for the very late response”
We had a clear deal for a year, I had given up a ton of free strat, coaching and time and then he decides to end the deal of his own accord, completely disregarding the contract we had. It was even more tilting because as he says in the message he has a “big amount of money” to invest in other things. I would understand more if he just told me was broke, but rather he has decided for himself that he no longer sees poker as a good option and is therefore going to break our contract and scam me. He offered me no compensation or real apology whatsoever.
On top of this, the sites he was playing on required credit (apps) and as I felt he was trusted I laid out the credit for him. In the past when he lost money he had sent me the amounts no problem so I didn't feel worried about laying out a few hundred provided he would cover it in a timely manner. After it became clear he was going to scam me on the deal, I decided my best option would be to just get him to send the money owed back, so at the very least I would just be out time and not money aswell. So I simply asked him to send me back the money owed. He told me he needed some time to get the money but he would pay it all back “within a week max”. A week passed and I heard nothing from him. It was pretty infuriating that after all this I was the one having to chase him about the money. When I finally got an answer he told me he was on vacation and could not tell me when or if he could pay back the full amount. I told him this was simply not good enough and demanded a deadline to at least give me an answer on when he would be ready to at least send some of the money. I even offered to give him a repayment plan so he could pay back at a slower rate if he was broke. Once again he has not even responded after the deadline has passed. In addition to this I found out he has been playing several MTTs on Pokerstars over the last few days as shown here -
So he seemingly has time to play on Stars but not to message me and money to play on stars but not to send me.
This was the final straw for me. I gave him one last warning and shockingly got no response. At this point it seems at absolute best he has acted in a despicable manner as well as scamming me on our deal. He has also most likely scammed me on the money owed.
