Update:

Ethan is now back in contact and working on returning the funds. Will update when funds are received and a mod can delete the original post.

Ethan has repaid the funds and made us whole. Mods please delete the original post. We DM'd a couple different forum mods asking for the post to be taken down previously.

Jeffrey Hes (Dutch living in Thailand)

PartyPoker: XR4Mars
WPN: Trump4Pres2024
PokerStars: Jeffrey1983
GG: Focus!!

Jeffrey signed a contract with PokerDetox for online MTTs in mid 2022 and decided to run away with our balances, hide his nicknames from SharkScope and avoided any communication with us trying to get at least staking money back. Since very beginning he was offering all sort of excuses for his low volume (travelling, moving houses). He also deleted his discord account as another act of avoidance.

Aproximate figure of his theft is few thousands he held for playing on poker accounts.

We are also going to be filling a lawsuit for stolen funds and breach of legal contract unless Jeffrey will contact us in next 30 days

Do not trust Jeffrey Hes

That's not something we usually do; preferably we'd keep the original post and delete any personal info, and edit to reflect that it was resolved. There should still be a record that this happened in the first place.

We can discuss over PM.

We signed João Duarte Silva Fialho Jimenez under contract and sent him funds on January 12, 2023.

A few weeks later he stopped communicating with us, eventually he admitted to having withdrawn €615 without our permission for his own use.

João Duarte Silva Fialho said that he currently cannot pay us back but is hopeful to start in the future as he is looking for a job. If we start receiving payments we'll update this post.

João owes us $2,776

We signed Marcos Leandro Dugarte Torres under contract and sent him funds on June 27, 2021.

In February 2022 Marcos Leandro Dugarte Torres decided to terminate the contract as he "no longer had the courage to play".

Marcos Leandro Dugarte Torres was still in makeup and we organized a payment plan with him (asked by him on his terms).

This plan was followed by Marcos for the first two months and then he started to delay payments and stopped responding to contact attempts and hasn't made any more payments.

Marcos Leandro Dugarte Torres owes us $380.

Name: Jamie allan sturgeon
Country: Australia Brisbane
WPN:jamiesturgacr
Twitter:JamieSturgeon92

He had our friend make a payment of 2050usd via stripe for selling the source code of the OCR(for app's hand tracking)program.
He then abused the stripe billing system and charged his card for about 30000usd.
After he found out we processed a chargeback, but the 9155usd has not been refunded yet.

Dear management,
You were banning as SPAM beofre, what's the difference between someone with a picture or ID?
You should indicate what kind of arbitrary decision you are making.

funny how you changed your original post from "buying RTA" to buying "hand tracking program"

I figured that would be the reason why it would be judged SPAM without question.
The fact is, as you point out, it is for RTA, no doubt.
But there is equally no doubt that jamie is committing fraud.

just go **** a duck, piece of ****

This specific user that keeps making new accounts to try and escort Jamie and Ryan into paying them money is the girlfriend of jailed scam artist that charged back large amounts from many different companies that were renting servers/coaching to solve hand histories. After receiving the hand histories or sims that were solved from contabo they would then charge back the amounts from the user and then on sell the sims.

The funniest part was is they failed miserably and couldn’t pay back their creditors and were charged with fraud. In order to get her husband our jail they need to pay the creditors.

The mods keep removing their posts and accounts after being provided evidence of the above from creditors. All of the information has been sent to me from Ryan and jamie and I can confirm it is correct.

Note- this user then made fake screenshots and then added a number of screenshots from users in the discord and added some widely known rta photo(by which were players that didn’t even play cash games) in the photos to make it look like cheating.

This girlfriend of the person is also undergoing a defamation lawsuit against her and her boyfriend.

Essentially Jamie and Ryan were at first paying the user the uncharged back amounts due to the users constantly going on forums defaming them and taking screenshots and editing them out of context.

Lawyers have now taken over the case and they won’t converse with the lawyers nor police.

This case was 3 years ago and we have been made aware of this since around 7 months after the user charged back in our hs discord so it was not news to us that these two did it to more than one company/group. I won’t name names as Ryan and Jamie are still taking them to court to retrieve their charged back funds.

Not only this the user charged back funds from a variety of things including coaching, all by which was evidence that were submitted to stripe, Amex and Japanese police.

Mods please delete this post after but just wanted people reading this here to know the situation if this user continues to do this. Jamie cannot speak publicly on this issue and asked if myself or Stefan could post about this as we knew about this as it were playing out.

You are either JAMIE himself or his business partner.

If you are going to call people scam, you need to show proof of that yourself, and no one will understand the content unless you explain who Ryan is who has suddenly appeared.

The entire content of your conversation with jamie has been shared with the community. In the meantime, I will present a screenshot of what you (jamie) clearly testified that you do not own about the source code of the program.

Of course you would claim that that too is a tampered screenshot.（Easy pokers is jamie)
So we are in the process of contacting the stripe system and asking them to provide us with "third-party evidence that the refund has not yet been processed". Stay tuned.

I have been advised this "screenshot" is a troll from the company after the user had failed to chargeback funds that they provided in-depth evidence for to Amex and stripe.

I have been sent in the evidence from J and Ryan that this user is claiming above to have from stripe. They were in fact declined by AMEX and stripe then once multiple companies including Ryan's investigated the issues the user was charged with fraud and sentence to jail for multiple fraud offences( you don't go to jail for a first time offence in Japan).


I also have sent the mods the evidence from AMEX confirming their position on not awarding the chargeback to this user in this manner.

I have been instructed to inform this user to take this request up with their creditors, governing bodies, stripe and or Amex instead of crying about it on a public forum 2 years after you were denied continuously from all of the said bodies.

If this screenshot is different from the one this user has received please feel free to post it and include the differences, also there is an email from AMEX that has been sent to the mods to justify removal of this users continuous spam over the last 2 years or so.

Note- Please remove later, this is for anyone reading this and or mods to confirm.

Cheers,
Koshko

[QUOTE=Koshko;58101607] It seems that JAMIE has taken the liberty of interpreting the mechanical rejection by the credit card company's system (they generally cannot automatically process a transaction after 90 days) as "no obligation to refund".

And jamie has (at least) falsified the date of this email.(original is 4/1 not 4/23)
The header of the said email is pasted below.

Stripe Support, Apr 1, 2022, 10:39 AM UTC

Hi Ukey,

Thank you for reaching back out. I understand that you=E2=80=99d like to cl=
arify about the one dispute of these four charges. I=E2=80=99m glad to assi=
st you.

First off, I=E2=80=99m sorry if my explanation wasn=E2=80=99t clear. You=E2=
=80=99re correct that you raised a dispute for one of the charges (US$2995.=
00) and Jamie submitted the document for it, and also that the sum of these=
four charges is US$9155.00.

US$2110.00 (pi_1HcbUhL2BPKIMpowFX7atCrD)
US$2000.00 (pi_1Hca6bL2BPKIMpowCH4fXv1T)
US$2050.00 (pi_1Hcb6CL2BPKIMpowaBZ93TNd)
US$2995.00 (pi_1HqksHL2BPKIMpowIokjX8N0)

However, the disputed charge was only an =E2=80=9Cinquiry=E2=80=9D and not =
as a =E2=80=9Cchargeback=E2=80=9D. So what I explained in the last email wa=
s that none of these charges were disputed as a =E2=80=9Cchargeback=E2=80=
=9D by AMEX, while all the chargebacks raised were refunded. I=E2=80=99m ve=
ry sorry if this caused confusion here.

Please check the document below to know more about chargebacks and inquirie=
s (You can also change the language by clicking on the option in the bottom=
left corner of the screen):

https://stripe.com/docs/disputes/how...and-retrievals

Also, I=E2=80=99m afraid again that we don=E2=80=99t have any information o=
n the AMEX=E2=80=99s decision on not escalating this charge to a chargeback=
, or not accepting disputes for the other three charges as well. Therefore,=
we suggested you reach out to AMEX for any assistance about these charges.

I hope this clarifies, but if you have any other questions, please feel fre=
e to let us know. We=E2=80=99re always glad to help you.

Kind regards,
Aiko

[QUOTE=semetary567;58101646] Once again, I have been advised for you to talk to stripe, Amex or your governing bodies. You have all of the evidence there is nothing more to talk about. You were denied chargebacks, facing legal action, now crying on a public forum in order as a last ditch effort to attain any success. The email clearly states you were denied due to evidence from Amex which all parties involved had to submit. Thank you for copy and pasting the exact same email that was posted above as it validates the whole situation.
I will not be posting on anyone’s behalf on the matter again, mods feel free to delete my posts when necessary.

There is also a follow up posted letter from Amex denying the user a refund. There is nothing more to be said regarding this issue.

Kosh

Correct, and thanks for reporting the post!

But when you quote the post, then I have to delete it as well.

Name: Patrick Waschl
City: Salzburg, Austria

GG: rAkeAton
Discord: Asci#4189 / TuttiFrutti#2493

Patrick applied for our stable and was given 500$ to start playing with as well as coaching material, but he quickly disappeared with the bankroll. He said there was some tragedy in his family after some time and offered to repay the bankroll because he didn't feel like playing, and when we said yes please, we never heard from him again.

Name: Samid Abbasov
Country: Jalilabad, Azerbaijan
Stars: SaMiD-111
Date of birth: 3.April.1987

Samid had a staking contract with us and disappeared eventually.
Once asked for an audit to confirm his playing data we noticed that we noticed there is other incoming money from a different staking stable. After getting in contact with the stable we uncovered him being dishonest over and over again, claiming it was a friend helping him out. He disappeared with our bankroll (for low stakes) but the energy he put into lying makes us think that he is a professional scammer having joined our team with exactly this intention. He requested additional funds of 130$ for improving his internet connection (we declined).

He was with us for 3-4 month, when he decided to cash out 2k for himself without letting us know. He described it as a family emergency, so we gave him another chance, did it again. He was very apologetic, wanted to pay back, but didn't. We kept in touch -sort of. He paid actually 25% of the debt after like 2 months, then he disappeared. We heard he scammed another team too. Deleted discord.

We started working with Lucas Nahuel Curbelo Benitez on September 30, 2022.

In early May we noticed Lucas Curbelo play $600+ worth of tournaments outside of his limits over 2 days.

We contacted him to see what was going on and asked for the remaining money in his accounts back . After returning the remaining account balances Lucas left our discord server and didn't respond to our messages.

After several days, on May 15, 2023 Lucas Nahuel Curbelo Benitez replied via whatsapp where he said that he was upset because a family member had become sick and he wasn't allowed to play buyins as high as he preferred.

After this he stopped replying to our messages.

Lucas Nahuel Curbelo Benitez owes us $7.8k
