Matthew Cooper
"Payment of debt in progress, and near completion
There are links at the bottom to void anyone of any skepticism regarding what's going on here.
The first link at the bottom shows that username Wesrwood is who I say he is Matthew Cooper, poker player from Connecticut. Above are pictures of him - so if you come across him irl (Foxwoods probably) you know to avoid whatever BS he's up to at the moment.
The second link at the bottom is a thread Wesrwood (Matthew Cooper) had been participating in since around the start of '17's baseball season. Betting 200-300 a game, mostly on huge favorites and winning at a reasonable rate. On the page linked (easier to read if you're on 100 posts per page and just ctrl+f: wesrwood): Wes goes from betting 200-300 per game to up to 3000 on a Thursday night football game: after losing a couple thousand to the thread earlier in the week.
He basically pushes the game on a missed XP and then vanishes. As the game was his saving grace to get 4K out of debt.
After the thread did numbers it turned out Wes was down over $4000 to the thread spanning debts to 6-7 different people. He self-banned and tried to run away from his debt. After contacting him via text he refused to pay claiming he was more or less 'angled' by being asked to escrow for a bet so large (important note- he didn't escrow, and his bet stood regardless- see the thread), we told him that complaint held no merit and to pay up. He then told us that he had tilted away more than $10,000 playing blackjack and was deadbroke. In other words he tried to freeroll us with money he didn't have, and then refused to pay upon losing.
It is now over three months later, and after prying and prodding with a man who acts more or less like a child (see the text screenshots below) we have gotten just $500 of the debt he's owed to us.
The texts, coupled with the thread posts and the vouching of what I'm sure would be 20+ members from the MSNL sports discussion thread should be more than enough to assure you that this is indeed a person to stay away from. Whether we get what we're owed or not- it should just be fair warning that Matthew Cooper is a scammer.
The third link is one we've just recently found where he apparently scammed members on another forum years back. As seems to be necessary a more formal website with more information of this man's scamming is being assembled- but we just wanted to get it out there now, at least to the 2p2 community, to please steer clear of this guy
