A new (not fortunate) update on this
I continued the staking deal with ProKatana / Ionut Alexandru Catana from Brasov, Romania, after the post below (who knows if I would have gotten my money back anyways, looking back).
He updated the roll (somewhat) regulary and played the agreed games for the most part (I had let the very few $2 Spins he played slip a little because things seemed to go to the right direction)
By time my 300€ initially sent went up to $603 (this is the last update I received, and it also somewhat matches with sharkscope (due to rebuys sharkscope wasn't of use to track it 100% correctly))
I asked for a profit chop (1 week ago) of $300 (60/40 his favor which is the default I offer) and there was still communication first, but now the player has gone pretty much completely MIA, despite having played as recently as yesterday (Satellites to Sunday Storm, which are not included in the stake). If he is genuine I wonder since when doing a Skrill transfer takes 1 week to do.
In the meantime I would advise everyone not doing any business with him. If this is ever fixed, I will update of course.
I also have his facebook and also screenshoted about 20 of his closest contacts to contact if he decides to block me, if needed (also willing to share them if anyone has any undisputed issue and just did not post it, which I would not be totally surprised of anymore by now).
I am still somewhat in hopes because he seemed like a good person before this incident, but don't they all...
I will take this money to learn a lesson I guess.
In total, discounting his (rightful) share of profit, $421 is owed.
Do not stake

Basic gut-feeling I should have just went with - had a negative feedback on some romanian forum many years ago, but still fancied and still only had that had a bad gut feeling already - sometimes you shall actually got with your gut (especially in staking it seems). Shows, old-school-rule -> go with your gut!
Staked him for 300€ on Stars for O8 MTTs up to $11 /SNGs up to $5
Never updated properly, , played 10 games in 4 days despite saying he will do 500games/month.
Term is daily updates daily and the one day he played his numbers were also just made up)
Our last conversation:

Mate sorry to ask this so early and I do not doubt you at all etc, but with new players I stake pls understand I am a little cautious
Would you mind sending me a screenshot of deposit of 300€ (on stars) and the roll on your stars account please?
Basically reason for me asking is for my own peace- you said 500Games/month and so far you played 10 games in 3 days, just for my own peace I'd appreciate that
If you had no time to play no worries at all, it's just obviously with new player I am obv. a little more catuious

Eg. if you could send ma one screenshot showing transaction history + roll (shown in lobby anyways) I will be very happy

So you cannot show it to me or what is the problem? That you read the message can be seen

I just mean if you ****ed up least you can do is be honest to me (this is at least my feeling) - you knew the terms and didnt report - first sign
500 games/month? you are so, so far from it
Then reading and ignoring my message, obv I cannot be anything else other than maybe paranoid
Next time your status changes (no matter if online or you go straight off, whatever) I will post it, jsut as notice, if there isnt an explaination (Bearbeitet)
PlzBeNice — heute um 02:27 Uhr
Tell me if I shall just post report, I have it all written already
[02:27]
I also know you read this already
Just a warning for now (I hope this clears up but I do not believe in it), DNS!!!!!
Also be cautious about if you stake anyone with Catana in surname ( I saw on FB there are loads, even in his city, so be aware)
Just goes to show staking people randomly over the internet (unless you are a stable, then you can afford the loss) outweights the gain). All you are left with is the disappointment in himanity, especially if the dude can't even come up with an excuse.
