Yes. When this happens, it's for a reason, and the solution isn't to just repost it again. If the post was OK, it wouldn't have been deleted.

No, this is where it would belong. The issue, in this particular case, is a legal one. 2+2 site ownership is getting some advice as to what to allow in matters that may be part of a legal proceeding. The posts are still here, and can be undeleted if deemed appropriate in the future.

Who is being held by police - your friend, or the alleged fraudster?

Thanks for clarifying. If your friend is truly the victim here, with the police now involved I'm sure he'll quickly get this all straightened out, get the charges against him dropped, and Jamie charged. Once he's free, he can contact us and share his side of the story if he likes. It's been told multiple times by his friends now, but oddly, never by him.

From what I've seen, I suspect "another victim" is simply "another friend".

So, for the alleged victim here, and his friends, enough with the new accounts created simply to post more of this. As I've said, I believe ownership is going to get some legal advice as to how to proceed in future not just for this case, but to better inform as to what policy should be around accusations that are posted about matters that are part of a legal proceeding. Until they make a decision on that (which I don't expect will be happening immediately), there's nothing more to be said on this issue.

For everyone else who has read snippets of this before it was deleted - I've seen information from both sides on this. I'm always very, very reluctant to come down on one side or another of any issue like this, because in these days of fraud, forgeries, and Photoshop, I don't consider myself enough of an expert to not ever be duped. That's why, as very general policy, I heavily favour allowing an accuser to post their side of a story, and the accused to post their side, except for rare cases of very obvious lying. And in this case, I can't say with absolute certainty that I'd take Jamie's side on this, but with what I've seen in both terms of the evidence provided and the manner in which everyone has conducted themselves, I have a strong lean in his direction - especially now that this poster has confirmed what I understood from elsewhere, that the alleged victim himself has been arrested for fraud. In this case, it seems wiser to let the authorities settle matters rather than having the "victim's friends" attempt to adjudicate this on our forums. Hopefully that makes sense to everyone.

Imawhale backed Dave for online MTTs in 2019-2020 and then again in 2021-2022. For the last several months of the stake, David became increasingly behind in updating his reporting spreadsheet. When we eventually audited his account, we found that he had busted his bankroll playing unauthorized cash games. When confronted, he did admit his wrongdoing and blamed it on alcoholism, and indicated he would repay the funds (around $5000). He has since disappeared and is no longer responding to us.

Definitely avoid any sort of financial transaction with him.

Gustavo has repaid everything he owes us. He sent $200/mo without any issues beginning in July 2021, and sent a large ($1.9k) final payment this month to settle everything owed.

This type of repayment with consistency is rare. If you are reading this and are considering backing Gustavo, my opinion is that the odds of a successful backing relationship are considerably high, all things considered.

He joined us 3 months ago, and now he disappeared overnight, blocked us on every platform.
I'd advise everyone not to work with him...

Carlos has repaid this amount.

Gabriel joined us in Jan2022 during the two first months all went as agreed, after that he started being unresponsive towards the team. The next 2 months his volume was below agreed only reaching his monthly goal during SCOOP. After SCOOP he became absent again with very low volume and taking a long time to respond to messages in his individual player group. Once he did respond, he alleged many personal problems.
In June we had a call with him and he stated that he would return grinding and adhere to his obligations towards us, as he would be moving to a new place and would have tranquility to dedicate to the deal. He continued not meeting goals and not communicating with us, even traveling to play live events on several locations without our knowledge.
Lastly we communicated with him the second week of September giving him the option to either freeze his deal while he resolved his personal problems without playing for us or anyone else or that he had to return and put in the work he had agreed with us. He just answered he was not going to be able to do either of those and said we could add him to the negative feedback list. He did return his Cash On Hands to us before leaving communication with us. He has since been seen playing live cash and MTTs on multiple clubs. Gabriel owes us R$ 85.000,00 (U$16.500,00 on today's quote)
Needless to say we recommend no one works with this player.


Gabriel Aires, entrou no time em Janeiro 2022 nos dois primeiros meses cumpriu com as obrigações do time e depois disso começou os problemas com a parte responsiva do time. O volume de jogos ficou abaixo do combinado nos 2 meses seguintes, só voltando a cumprir no SCOOP. Pós SCOOP voltou a ficar "ausente" com pouco volume e com muita demora para responder as mensagens no seu grupo individual. Quanto ele resolveu responder, colocou em pauta vários argumentos de problemas pessoais que já estavam acontecendo com ele.
Fizemos uma chamada em Junho e ele afirmou que voltaria a grindar e cumprir com as obrigações do time, pois estaria se mudando e aí teria mais tranquilidade para se dedicar. Mas nada disso aconteceu. Continuou sem cumprir e sem comunicar com o time, inclusive fez uma viagem em que jogou vários torneios live sem comunicar com o time.
Enfim, o mandamos uma msg para o jogador na segunda semana de setembro, dando a oportunidade dele congelar o MU por 2 meses até que ele resolvesse as pendências particulares dele ou que continuasse grindando mas cumprindo com todo o combinado com o time na sua entrada, mas ele simplesmente avisou que podia negativar ele que ele desistiu do projeto e deixou o time na mão com um MU de 85K reais.
Desde então ele tem sido visto jogandos cash e MTTs live em vários clubes.
Jogador que não correspondeu na parte administrativa, muito menos na parte profissional do poker.

Jeferson had a big score on a live event and we were able to receive the amount owed in full. Jeferson no longer owes us anything.

Jeferson hitou um live e conseguimos receber o valor devido integralmente. Jeferson não nos deve mais nada.

After we found out Aleksei was stealing rakeback, he gave us an ultimatum that he needed his agreement with us improved or he would leave. As makeup grew, we had restructured his deal so that he would have more motivation to play (his words). This deal had 50% of his monthly profit going toward reducing makeup, and the other 50% split 60/40 in his favor, as opposed to a normal 100% of winnings going toward clearing makeup. He demanded this be changed to 25% of his monthly profit go toward reducing makeup and 75% split. We said we could not make this work and he has decided to quit and play for himself or another backer. We are pursuing this legally. Aleksei owes us ~$140,000.

We have been working with Toms Klavs Zunde since August 31, 2021.

Two months ago Toms Klavs Zunde asked for more money to keep playing. After receiving the funds he stopped responding to our attempts to contact him.

Our working theory is that Toms Klavs Zunde stole the money.

Toms Klavs owes us $3.1k

Hello Im Alison CEO of EvolutionSpins and some time ago wee start a partner with Team-Bas and early wee have a scam case !

Name: Vladeslav Ivashenko
Location : Romania
Email : ivashvla555@gmail.com
Pokerstars : dajackal_cs
PartyPoker: Liska888
Amount Owed : $2250.00



Vlad joined Evolution international on the 15th September 2022 and was staked to play the $25 Spins on pokerstars. He received an initial bankroll of $750.00 via Skrill.

18.09.2022 - Vlad asked for a reload, a further $750.00 was sent to his Skrill account.

23.09.2022 - Vlad asked for a 3rd reload, a further $750.00 was sent via his skrill account. Total amount sent $2250.00.

When we sent the 3rd reload on the 23.09.2022 we asked Vlad to provide an Audit from pokerstars, so we can have a look at what is going on in the account. To this date, we have never received a working audit from pokerstars. Various communications have taken place and VLAD has sent us around 5 audit links from Pokerstars - none of which are working.

Suspicions started to arise so we asked VLAD on the 24.09.2022 - if we can do a screen share to work out the audit situation together and ensure the account is running smoothly. To date, this screen share has never happenned.

During the period from the 23rd September 2022 - 11.10.2022 we have been promised by VLAD on various occasions that he will be available at X time to complete the screen share, this has never happened. Since then, he has had family problems, a sporadic vacation and all of the usual "Circumstances" which conveniently appear when things are not what they seem.

Vlad sent us hands from his Poker tracker. Vlad also provided us with screenshots of 2 of the Skrill deposits to pokerstars. We believe all of the above are actually FAKE.

1) The cashier deposits on Pokerstars do not show a unique reference number/email address underneath the skrill deposit. We have checked this is 5 other accounts of our players and they all have this information.

2) We checked the Pokerstars tournamnt histories which VLAD sent us, and these game ID's on pokerstars are not current games. They are 2017! and i believe the nickname huge.fishh its from him or some friend.
2*) To confirm, VLAD and his Dajackal_cs alias are not even involved in the games originally, so they have been edited to provide a basis for his SCAM.
3) The screenshot VLAD provided from Pokerstars of his bankroll amount seems to be an edited screenshot/photoshopped. We have never seen pokerstars have an account balance starting with $00.

4) VLAD has done everything in his power to avoid the screen share. We believe he has been changing a few digits within the Audit links received from pokerstars to ensure they do not work.

All in all, we believe VLAD to be a complex and high level scammer. Our guess is that none of the $2250.00 sent to his SKRILL account made it on to pokerstars. We believe the funds were stolen from the beginning.

We actively discourage anyone to work with VLAD, and if you are currently working with this individual, it will be worthwhile looking into things a little further, especially if he is in a Make up scenario with yourselves.

Backed for about 6 months. Got into a healthy amount of makeup and then started playing less and then vanished (with a few hundred in the account). He appeared briefly a week ago or so and said he wanted to sort the situation out, but there was no follow up and he has again vanished from communication. Obviously if anything changes then we will update accordingly, but consider this a warning to other potential backers.

This guy has a romanian ID card , but he might be from Ukraine or Russia.Recently a lot of people from Ukraine crossed the border seeking help from the romanian gouvernament and I belive they offer a place to stay , money and option for rezidency in Romania.

His place of birth is shown as Bucarest, and his ID is valid since 2015.

We signed Alexandre Nunes da Silva under contract and sent him funds on July 5, 2022.

The player had a financial issue and ended up withdrawing a portion of the money that was in his accounts for his own personal use. He notified us of this after we asked him for audits and he returned the remainder of the funds that were in his possession.

Alexandre Nunes da Silva, however, did not wait for the process to return the funds (as had been requested) and started to play with his own funds instead of repaying the misused funds and ignoring the contract he had signed with the team (exclusivity).

Alexandre Nunes da Silva claimed he cannot pay the amount due nor could he propose a payment plan of any kind.

Alexandre owes us $990

We received a few payments totaling about $400 this past week, though no communication, nor explanation was given. He still does not reply to our messages, but the payments merit an update.

he was our player until August 2020, and until this point he received €17.5K as a bankroll.
Then he played on higher limit(s) than he was approved, so we had an internal discussion how to move forward with him. At this point he was pursuing a challenge on the poker site, but instead of being straight with us, he stopped every communication with us, and signed with another team, while he was contracted with us, having 17.5€ bankroll of ours, and not chopping any winnings , and the latter could be anything - hitting a JP even, but at least he was completing a 13k challenge...

Post is late, but we still haven't received anything back. Mostly warning to other backers/players
