Standard degenerate story below. Have it direct from Villain he seriously considered getting pocket aces tattooed on his wrist to have "an ace up his sleve" (true story!).
Chris Arnet (texan1382) was staked for around $2000 USD for SNGMTTs on Stars/FTP and ran with the bankroll, changing his contact information multiple times. Cited willingness to pay and financial difficulties for while before fading out and deactivating his Facebook account.
I shared a basement suite with him and other poker player (thejem on 2+2, who can support all of these statements if needed) in Langely, British Columbia, Canada. He took the bankroll after we stopped sharing the place, and skipped at least a month of rent as well ($300-$500 CAD). I also staked him for live cash games in Vancouver and lost around $600 CAD. Uncertainty remains regarding whether these were legit losses or he pocketed the cash.
Basically, do not trust Chris Arnet.
I believe he is around 21, working on the side as a photographer.
He is from Denton / Flower Mound, Texas.
I know the thread says not to cite cities, but it's right there on his 2+2 abandoned 2+2 profile, so I'm just highlighting the information.
Chris Arnet, if you are reading this, I'm still quite easy to get in touch with and would be happy to resolve this. If Chris' parents are reading this, this is a short summary of what he was up to in Vancouver.
