i like the website op! well done!

This is the future.. don't know if it's good or bad.

Internet on your contact lens - auto search database.

Hi .. "Nick" , oh I see you "owe some people money".. did you pay them back?

I think it will greatly reduce crime, since it would be pretty hard to make new freinds, but privacy? hmmm...

Real classy Nick.

raiseya posted similar thought, now deleted I see, and got banned.

interesting the mods only target non regs or friends... but it IS their website I guess

great job on the site

not sure if it was mentioned before but if i was one of the investors waiting/hoping for my money while charder etc. got paid out i would be pissed. Whats the deal behind this? why only these guys got paid? wouldnt it be fair to say whatever amount nick paid out so far will be shared between all investors based on there percentages?

also blaiming people for buying his shares and all this "how could you buy shares from someone you never met irl..." is pretty stupid. nick sold action for the main event the year before cashed for 50k or so and paid out everyone. people got to realize they only see the cases where something went wrong in nvg. on one scam there are hundreds of deals that go well without complications. the small risk of getting scammed is part of the variance in staking/buying shares.

Give the boy credit guys---WORD!

isn't this the guy that called out baronzeus on some tennis bet welching? It was way back and I'm too lazy/aroused to use the archive search.

I thought I was re-levelling.

Obvious that Rivers isn't Rainey

What nickname does he use here?

how many of the 2plus2 crew got scammed? I have to agree with the ppl thinking low IQ scores were to blame

This is why you guys are such easy marks. You can't allow for degrees of being a scumbag, you either are or you aren't. From the moment I've been aware of NR's existence it's basically been clear this is not a person who could be trusted.

he has been playing 35$ 180 mans and other stuff all day long, went on a rant vs him when he was at my table

Crying to a guy that likely hides his chat because hes too worried to see what people are saying probably won't help the matter. I recommend spite calling him and getting there.

In any case hes running fairly well lately, and took back his crystal star.

I love the sentiment of ruining his Google results (I have hated this guy for years and posted in threads about a few of his previous scams), but be careful, if too many people post a link like this, Google may actually interpret it as link-spam and rank this thread lower. The best thing is just google "Nick Rainey" then +1 and/or click the link to the site.

I am almost sure that in the last scam Rainey pulled, Ce1ska was posting about how he didn't think Rainey was such a bad guy too, it's bizarre.

I mean this is like the what, 5th or 6th Rainey scummy scandal?

WHAT??????????????????

This is so true, it has been SO CLEAR for at least 2 years that this guy is a bigtime scammer. He's obviously slithered out of some trouble to this point, but he is easily one of the top few shadiest people still in action scamming + playing. It's really crazy how he's been able to mitigate the damage to his rep to this point, although now that Admo has stepped into the situation, clearly only the absolutely MOST naive people will still do biz with him (although I had no doubt there will be some).

this reference cost me most of my evening :/

That's why no 2p2'ers were scammed by him.

Wait, wot??

Searched really quick but didn't find anything, maybe you're referring to the original staking thread, IDK. Zima has prob. dealt with more scammers than anyone ITT yet he felt the same way, it's kind of weird and difficult to explain tho.

-Zima

What a broad statement. Not true whatsoever. I never knew he pulled these boners. Thread is fine. Doesn't cross any lines. If Nick is going to engage in this type of behavior he better be damn ready for the consequences. If not then don't defraud and embezzle money.

This is a big boy world. Play the game or sit on the porch.

She got herself a well-to-do boyfriend who spent thousands and thousands on her, and free coaching from Sklansky?

Seriously, Brandi Hawbaker's suicide came well over a year after she'd stopped posting on 2+2. During that time, she'd broken up with said boyfriend numerous times, cleaned out his apartment and ended up alone, broke and miserable.

The woman was an ex-sex worker with serious mental health problems who appeared to spend her whole life exploiting and being exploited by others. The idea that 2+2 somehow was responsible for her death is just pure fantasy on your part.

hope everyone who got scammed get repaid gross
