This would have been a really interesting scandal if Perkins didnt tease it the way he did. And it still will be interesting to see the details as they come out. I think bp got caught up in the insane virality of the Postle story, thinking a scandal at much higher stakes would garner proportional interest.

What made Postle fascinating was the novel cheating method and the audacity of it when you consider the hero story the Stones announcers were creating for the guy. It all seemed so intentional and slimy.

This is underhanded but doesn't have the same trainwreck type of draw, clearly. Also BP blocking people on twitter who are roasting him isnt helping his case.

wow look at the baldness. Good thing he's rich and can afford hair transplant surgery.

John D Arnold my friend.

He's so rich he can let his hair grow out too. Amazing.

ghosting is everywhere now

Projection is your reason for posting imo.

Because Bill has such a rep as a shameless self promoter.

Thanks, makes sense. The coattails are long with this one.

Strange idea. Afaik, the most gov't's punish theft harsher the larger the amount stolen. And I can't see why stealing from someone with a lot of money makes it less wrong. Total net worth of the victim seems irrelevant to the ethics of the situation. I understand it changes how the victim is affected by the crime, but I think that's much less relevant to how the crime should be viewed/punished.

i have a few connected friends of friends to the biggest games, and they are all saying its confirmed negreanu. just hearsay for now though. i dont have any proof.

say the ****ing name bill perkins, dont let whoever it is get away with it. you post saying its 1000x worse than postle then agree to not out them. ****ing hypocrite POS who let someone else play for you live on twitch.

I dunno I feel like how it affects the victim is what matters most but I understand that it's not how the law works, then again law isn't perfect

Pretty bullshit from Perkins. Taking money from a guilty party to keep his mouth shut is a really bad look on Bill.

I'm not saying I wouldn't take the money, But Bill certainly doesn't need it.

Looking forward to the next dat poker pod. I don't think it's Daniel.

I think the biggest scandal is how much focus is on Bills comparing it to MP scandal.
Everyone is going to see it from a different perspective obviously. You are going to see your childs first steps as a massive occasion but obviously random people on the internet are not going to give two ****s about it. So its reasonable for Bill to see the situation how he does as it affects him directly. To sit here and say you wouldnt feel the same way if you were in his shoes is just a blatant lie. Focus should be on the cheating and those involved being outed to prevent it happening to others in future

Exactly. And then going about it the way he has just makes it even more so. What a clown.

Lol if it is negreanu this whole thing wouldn't actually be as much of a disappointment. I hope it isn't tho even though he's had a bit of a fall from grace I still like him q

I don't buy it.

I think Perkins negotiated with the cheaters from last night to this morning and got a settlement. Now he has to change the story. He went on 2p2 and read all the speculations in this thread. The "ghosting" theory works best for what he was stringing us along with, so now he's going with that. Thanks for giving him the ideas guys.

We will never know the true story about the poker heroes now that he got paid.

Wow this scandal is unbelievably shocking. Next you'll be telling me that the three card monte game isn't on the up and up.

Some people just have good reads on the situation. I never underestimate the power of the internet to figure out how certain minds think. Well done. 3 hours before Bill posted his ransom...er.....update.

Here's a clue, whatever big named poker hero is normally very chirpy and one you'd expect to be all over something like this, is all of a sudden a twitter mute.. probably guilty/involved in this whole thing.

If it does turn out to be DN, it will get more attention than Postle. Imagine all the old vids and tweets that would be dug up to highlight the hypocrisy.

Looks like were never going to find out now anyways. Bill is not going to name the cheater now as they have confessed and dont want to be "ruined"

He just said “the most egregious participant will be outed.”
