very sorry, i would have liked to post an update in the thread itself so as to make it an easier story to follow.
it seems the pressure of legal / military consequences was sufficient to motivate the scammer to do the right thing. after a few attempts at an escrow deal, we finally reached an agreement which involved me being paid back. which i was as of sunday the 27th. (although he still charged me the vig, which i found a bit funny. better to receive 95% than 0% tho)
part of the deal was that we remove the specific threads containing his personal info. a mandatory stipulation was that all of the info (including literally ~ 75 screen shots of both threads in their entirety) be kept as a bit of an insurance policy to help protect the community in the future. i have a few different thumb drives with the info and have emailed it to a few people outside of poker simply for safe keeping. it was suggested i post a brief (lol gl me at brief) synopsis in the negative feedback thread (
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/23...forums-549322/) outlining the issue, which i will do.
if anyone happens to be scammed by him or others suspect him to have scammed again in the future, i will provide all of this info to them, in private rather than publicly, to allow them to use it to be made whole.
hopefully this entire situation is enough to dissuade similar behavior and actions in the future from the aforementioned scammer.
would like to point out that none of this would have been possible without the constant help of all the mods in this forum as well as dan druff at pfa; plus of course everyone who sent me info and support along the way.
i do appreciate the concern thoroughly
