Hello.
I recently learned about this post through a friend.
Over the course of this year (23), as far as I know, my discord account was hacked and deleted.
At the time, after some unsuccessful attempts to access the account, I can remember even 2FA was enabled (and not by me), I ended up frustrated and lost interest in using the software.
Right now, trying to log in, it seems to have been deleted.
What I can say is that the event described is a misfortune and that I had no involvment in the case.
I will be in touch with support and forum team.
And, guys, if I may: do not send money to people you don't know aswell as analyze reputations and references before making any exchange.
Att.

I am Gustavo Alaor Elsenbach

Can be removed, was paid in full.

If the poster contacts us, we could edit the post to reflect that.

On October 27, we signed an exclusive contract with Shawn Herald that covered ALL his poker play and sent him funds on October 31.

Later on October 31st Shawn Herald registered a tournament and won $797 on November 1st. A few days later he asked us for a reload as he'd lost the initial transfer.

Upon reviewing his playing history we discovered that he'd won this $797 and asked why he didn't claim a profit chop. He claimed that he had played the tournament with a ticket that was still in his account before he signed the contract with us and as a result he would not share the winnings.

We asked him to return the initial transfer - he claimed that this was an unexpected expense and said he would do so on November 17 as he only had $72 in his account. We asked him to send the $72 and the remainder on November 17.

Shawn Herald failed to send the $72 or anything on November 17. However in that timeframe he did manage to deposit more funds onto a poker site and lose them.

Shawn Herald owes us $500

We strongly discourage anyone from working or trusting Shawn Herald from Stephentown, NY.

Hey guys watch out for Imawhale26 (Shane Sigsbee on Zoom)

He message me trying to scam.

He give me all the money! Solved!

Some more details would be helpful, and I'd encourage you to look over them very carefully - this account has been imitated many, many times. Where were you contacted, and are you sure you that was the exact account name that was used? I don't recall what the impersonator uses, but often it's a case of subbing in a number for a letter (1 or l for I, for instance) or something else that isn't noticed when looking quickly.

Coached for an hour or two, sent $250 to stake him, then the entire banking system fell apart, didnt recieve codes, codes wasnt working, support didnt answer, then they didnt answer good enough then 400 other things. I am pretty sure he is trying to pretend to be someone he isnt, as he would offer to send passport early on (i didnt ask) and then refused to show it holding it next to himself. However thats just speculation, he did grind on stars the two following days where my money was "locked" (he has "proof" of everything prepared, almost like he knows hell need it, and its obv not proof of ****.).

Got berated beyond imagination after each time he went off calling me a "brokie" a bitch a pussy this that the other he apologised prefusely 3 times only to do the exact same thing again. At the end i got paid 207$ of my 240 something $ and him saying "happy this got resolved", which obviously it wasnt, but i write of the last $40 because he thinks ill not share this negative experience and be a happy camper if he pays me back (rofl) so he can continue ****ing with people/scamming them but unlike for this degen a hundred bucks is not worth the energy ive wasted on this let alone completely forgetting about things like morals, human decency or you know, anything someone with more than 5 iq would sometimes consider.

He has extreme anger issues and provides a "reference" that laughs and hangs up when called, then doesnt answer the phone again and he says only if i can promise to stake him (would rather stab myself than deal with this person again) i can talk to his reference. You do the math. done putting energy in to this waste of space so anyone who wants to stake him and needs more proof of this guy being mentally unstable feel free to reach out.

I didnt do any due dillgence because i am naive and think people are not willing to go through such lengths for pennies, but they are, so i warn anyone from doing any sort of deals with him, he is at best mentally unstable.

He has a thread looking for staking here:
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...aking-1829343/
Here (will probably get locked) he was playing during the days my money was "locked".
https://gyazo.com/5f073472f25eac50033e938125bd5b04


And in case theres any question why i just block him and forget, its impossible to have a simple conversation/ask questions without being told how ****ing stupid your are, so ill show the last part of our conversation and thats it. He was trying to get me to send more as he could get the money within 2h anyways, so weird how it changed to 24h then took 2 days and i wasnt fully reimbursed, whilst he is playing stars at the same time.



He is currently providing a live showing of his communication skills in my thread, thats my part done and dusted. Stake on your own risk, i dont think he is even looking to be staked but "run it up" and you will have to be stronger than a navy seal mentally to handle talking to him, gl!

To put it simply - OHChariot sent me $250 to my crypto exchange to then move to ACR, however, when you move the money from the exchange to an external wallet you MUST complete 2FA (2 factor authentication, which requires you input one verification code sent to you through SMS and one through google authenticator) in order for the transfer to be processed - the difficulty I ran into was that the code being provided by my google authenticator was not being validated by the external wallet (crypto.com app). Every time I input the code it would come back as an INVALID CODE. The issue with this is that 2 factor authentication MUST be completed in order for funds to be moved from the exchange to an external wallet i.e ACR otherwise the funds are essentially stuck on the exchange until the technical support team figure out why this issue is occuring…

This was proved to OHChariot COUNTLESS TIMES - I sent video proof of this issue happening in real time, I sent my chat with support, I sent picture proof of the update support provided to me etc - I WAS FULLY TRANSPARENT AND APOLOGETIC FROM THE GET GO - and yes, I understood fully how this must have felt for OHChariot - I empathised with him and tried to reassure him that I would get this issue resolved promptly. Support outlined that they had a 2hr estimated time frame to get back to people, but this was exceeded by almost 24hrs which wasnt my fault (I also sent proof of this) but as soon as I got correspondence OHChariot was notified immediately. All of this information he continues to say was fabricated, even though I sent him the images/video proof in real time (from my phone) and told him to cross reference the time in the top right hand corner of the image to prove that I had just taken the image.

Once the technical issue was finally resolved (I had to reset my 2FA through the application, delete and reinstall the google authenticator) OHChariot was immediately updated and his funds were sent back to him as requested. He sent a total of $250 and I showed proof that I sent back $234 (as displayed in the same pictures I sent to him below (on discord):








We discussed the small discrepancy between the original amount sent and the amount that was supposed to have been returned and he was fully aware that some minor fees were involved (which he said was fine with - anyone that deals with crypto knows that small fees are STANDARD when youre sending to and fro) - HOWEVER, why there is $40 missing baffles me as much as it does him. The image above clearly shows the withdrawn amount totalling 0.0056137 BTC > $235, so there should only be a loss of $15, not the amount he has outlined. Now thats not me saying he is lying for one second - maybe there were some heavier fees involved, but why hes failing to recognise this is confusing.

IF I WAS SCAMMING HIM;

- his money would have been moved from my crypto wallet to my bank and I would have ghosted him? I showed him proof that his money was stuck on the exchange throughout the entire process up until his money was eventually returned (I made it clear to check the time in the corner of the picture to cross reference it with the time I was messaging him so he knew these pictures were sent in real time).

- I would have ceased all communication with him.

- I wouldnt have updated him at every twist and turn and sent proof to back up what I was saying.

The backlash and upset stemmed from the fact that A) OHChariot pulled out of the stake without me proving that the issue would be resolved and then once completed, moving the money to ACR as originally intended and continuing as normal. B) He made continuous hints at the fact that I could be a scammer when I proved to him otherwise. NO ONE likes to be accused of something theyre not - ive been in 2 other backing deals and NEVER had an issue with funds being sent between both parties, and this was in the thousands. I understood his concern from the jump, but did everything in my power to reassure him that he was assuming wasnt the case.

OhChariot then direct messaged me after having received his money back asking for passport proof - I was more than happy to send this to him (prior to him pulling out of the stake) but we got lost in the confusion of the issue and he eventually pulled out of the agreement so didn't see the need to then send identity proof. As for why my reference chose to hang up - no idea (maybe because my previous backer received a call from a number he didn't recognise and thought it was a scam call which is something a lot of UK residents experience)...baring in mind he tried to contact my reference after having pulled out of the agreement which makes no sense. If he chose to continue with the staking agreement I would have reached out to my backer and informed him that OhChariot was trying to get in touch with him.

Also - OHChariot outlined he coached me for 1-2 hours, (it was actually around 30-40mins) were he asked me a few questions about what id do in x and y spot and sent GTO Wizard screenshots to backup the information he was providing - he insisted on this prior to the stake starting, so i'm not sure why he's posted it like it was an issue.

After having pulled out of the agreement and saying he wasn't willing to stake me - I decided to play with my own funds on stars - only God knows why OhChariot see's this as an issue? He asked if I had funds why didn't I just send him his money back whilst all of this nonsense was going on - I had no way to, I asked OHChariot if he had PayPal as a means of getting money sent between us to put onto pokerstars before this mishap happened but he said he didn't and that he would download and set it up soon...he only notified me that he had his paypal set up AFTER his funds were sent back to him through the crypto exchange. If he notified me whilst this was going on then I would have had zero issue sending him his money back through paypal. He also lives in sweden, so I couldn't bank transfer - he also said he uses skrill, but I dont.

Yes, I admit, I could have handled this situation differently in regards to my outbursts - but I was infuriated that OHChariot was still adamant that he was going to post me even though I proved to him I wasnt scamming and sent the above amount back (see picture above) to him as soon as the issue was resolved. Like, for what reason? The matter was resolved in two days, he had all the proof necessary to reassure him and he STILL proceeds to try and tarnish me? I just dont get it.

PICTURE OF THE ISSUE I WAS FACING - I was receiving the code in real time, but when putting it into the app it was saying the code was invalid.



EXCHANGE BETWEEN MYSELF AND SUPPORT -







- - - - - -

Unfortunately im unable to provide video proof of the issue I was facing because you can't post videos to twoplustwo, but if anyone wants it feel free to ask and I can email it to you no problem.

- - - - - -

After me saying id pay him back the $40 (even though theres proof that I sent $235), he still proceeds to ignore all the facts of this matter and post me because he got into a hissy fit over the exchange of some heated words. Anyone with a thinking mind can clearly see I gave him enough reassurance, his funds were always on the exchange (until the issue was resolved), I not once ignored, blocked or removed OHChariot so he was unable to contact me throughout the entirety of this process etc etc.

The guy is clearly in his feels because I called him a brokie after he labelled me as a scammer. Im just as much done with this as is he.

He now goes by TheMatrixEffect on discord. EDIT: He changed back, that one didnt work!

And if you for any potential reason need any more proof he is not well:

I still go by the name UTGWithYourM0M, donut. If you change your nick you do realise your ACTUAL username remains the same right?

Aww, you got cussed a little. Man up and deal with it. Only God knows why you're going on and on and on and on about the same thing? Its boring now mate, you've made your point. Get on with your life and leave people to make up their own mind about the situation ffs.

I changed back? Mate you do realise if I wanted to go into hiding like Bin Laden (over a scam I didn't commit) I could just delete my discord account (which im not going to do) as i'm not in the wrong. Use that supposed brain you have please.

PS - this is the last response, im bored. Good luck.

We started working with Ronnie Juan Dos Santos Perin in September, 2018.

As time has gone on Ronnie has very often played games he was not allowed, in aggregate totaling tens of thousands of dollars.

After many warnings and repeatedly broken promises by Ronnie to only play games he was allowed, Ronnie has accumulated a lot of makeup along with loans that we extended to help him through his downswing - on the condition he follow his limits (a condition he decided to ignore).

Ronnie Juan Dos Santos Perin owes us $23.7k

This is not Shane. Shane doesn't use Zoom at all. There has been a person that for years has been scamming people impersonating Shane and using the name lmawhale26 usually with a lower case L instead of an I. We've contacted Skype (he usually tries to scam on Skype) to report it many times but they won't do anything. It looks like now he may also be scamming on Zoom.

Imawhale Staking

I was contacted by somebody named Shane Sigsbee on Skype (I misspoke and said Zoom. Too many Zoom work meetings...) The account claimed to be imawhale26 from 2+2. Personally, I stake a few players and am always trading cryto so we had a handful of conversations regarding such. He continually tried to get me to swap with him (Venmo for BTC) where I sent first. Eventually I sent him $100 on Venmo and he instantly blocked me. Obviously I should have cross referenced with imawhale26 here, which was my mistake.

Venmo's fraud service is terrible so I doubt there is any way I get the money back. Unless somebody knows how? Thankfully it was just $100 and I learned (reinforced) a valuable lesson that there's always going to be low life people out there with poor character who perceive scamming people as the easiest way to support themselves or save them from whatever hole they're in. Never send first unless you really know somebody. Purpose for posting is just wanted to make people aware in case this person contacts others.

That's fair, and appreciated, just wanted to make sure we got the details right. Sorry you got scammed, and I feel bad for Shane as well as this same guy keeps using his name; maybe one of these days he'll finally get shut down.

We started working with Tony in September 2023. Right from the start he was incabable of sticking to the rules. He played games he was not authorised for and he refused to accept to split profits according to the contract he had signed with us. Eventually, after a rough month, he ghosted us while being in makeup.

Strongly not recommended to do business with him.

Bumping this because I noticed he's been playing and had a +$50k year. Just wanted the world (and whoever's backing him) to remember he stole $15,000 from me.

We started working with Ovidiu Pal in February 2020.

Starting in mid-2022 Ovidiu Pal drastically reduced volume. Then from July 2023 onwards he stopped playing entirely (from what we can tell).

At this point he was still holding onto our funds.

We asked him to return our funds and reports to perform an audit to get all the balances up to date. Ovidiu Pal said he was unable to access his computer and would have it back a week later.

A week later, Ovidiu Pal blocked us and stopped replying to any messages.

Ovidiu Pal owes us makeup and funds for a total of $6.5k

This guy join the team full of good will, good intentions and soft words and since the first day started to do things on the wrong way but we kept to believe that was only because everything was new to him, little we know that Daniel Maynard is full of **** and nothing that he says is truth, playing tournaments completely of out schedule since the first day, while he was allow to play up to 11$ he started to play tournaments of 22$, 33$, 55$ and 88$ and giving excuses to the amount of money lost per session.

After one week of shitshow of Daniel, he owes Team Exploit around 750$, lost in just two sites, while he was supposed to be playing only up to 11$ tournaments. Don't believe in a single word of this person.

Joao was with our stable for a long time, and was all good seemingly. At the end of last year, we've made some calculations for all his stay, and it showed that he has a 130k EV difference, the biggest diff we've seen by far by any player. He had an EV deal all along.
We wanted to check this, and he felt that was a personal attack behind his back, so he said he fulfilled his obligations and left.
But he did not, he did not make a chop for his last period, did not sent back the rakeback part of the bankroll, and most importantly he did not made this full check with us, to which we have the right according to our contracts.
In case one is not guilty of finessing the system by €130K , that will just do the check and be over it. Now he doesn't want to even speak, like it's a topic of feelings, being offended, We think 130k is pretty serious. We told him multiple times to do the check pls with us, avoiding this post.

I don't know the full amount he cheated, without checking official handhistories, we have to assume he tampered with the handhistories the whole time, and his debt is the full amount, + the rakeback from last month.

Owes ~132K euros.

Jose Luis Yacob started working with us on September 15, 2023.

On January 14, 2024 the player informed us that his account had been frozen at GGPoker and that they had requested some documents.

After a few emails, the GG security team questioned why he and the user "Aleg_2023" were playing on the same IP address and VPN. After an investigation GG banned and confiscated the funds in the Tanke_Arg account.

Upon further review, we realized that on January 3rd, "Aleg_2023" won at the tables a similar amount to what Jose Luis Yacob lost and that this account was created on December 31, 2023.

Combining this information with the information provided by GGPoker, and the fact that GG banned and confiscated funds from "Tanke_Arg", it seems incredibly likely that Jose Luis Yacob chipdumped our funds from the Tanke_Arg account to the Aleg_2023 account (which he likely controlled).

Jose Luis Yacob owes us ~ $1.4k

Imawhale backed Sikdar for online NLHE tournaments in January 2024. He tilted off most of his bankroll playing unauthorized PLO cash games. When confronted about it, he stole the rest of the remaining bankroll and has refused to return any funds as of yet. He claims he will send the money back eventually but needs more time.

It seems this is a pattern for him:

Hello, sir

My team just got an application from this player and when I told me I was not going to accept him because he has tons of bad feedback here, he said that everything was resolved with you and the other person who shared bad feedback about him. Do you confirm that this player has everything settled with you?
