no way this is real

Dammit, I came back here to ask that he does something like this. Mine was gonna be to have him tap his chest with two fingers on each hand (i.e. 2+2), sort of like a gang sign.

Yours is better -- mine would have been hard to execute if he's cuffed.

Justbecause , if you're running a level here it's a pretty good one , you got me fooled.
If you are for real then thanks for coming clean and good luck to you , like many people here i am very interested to hear how this all went down.

If this is a level, it's not cool for the actual players that have a real emotional attachment to the outcome. Unfortunate for the poker community to deal with yet another scandal.

Wow I don't care if he's telling the truth or not this is too funny. "I woulda got away with it too if it weren't for Harrah's plumbing's inability to handle millions in 5K chips."

One example to briefly sum up why we will not get refunds. I got a dinner voucher ($10 value) for surviving day 1, busted day 2, used the voucher a few days later. My meal came out to $9.68. "Do you want to get something else to use the full $10?" "No I'll sacrifice the 32 extra cents, thanks." *Attempt to process voucher* "Sorry you have to use the $10 or it doesn't work."

If you do not find something that costs $10 to the penny, you have to spend your own money along with the voucher. ffs

Not the case at all. I don't know where you went but my friend went to the panda express in the food court spent $8.xx and they accepted the voucher and just forfeited the rest

Then Hibachi San scammed me into buying a coke!

well alrighty then luke.

i remember seeing your pic on thursday on twitter and chuckling and then 2 days later it's on a bunch of news articles lol.

fwiw i played with men the master very early on day 1a for about an hour and he was chillin. our table broke and we shook hands. from that point on i got sicker and sicker until that night i could barely walk around i felt so sick. slept for 12 hours then slept all wednesday and felt just good enough to come out for day 2 on thursday. maybe men poisoned me?

I really do kinda believe him as well...and you could not have said it any better about the rest....

I was wondering how long it would take. Too much attention for the guilty party to not show up. Guess we will have to wait for Monday!

It's not my intention to make light of those scammed, but there is so much bizarre ITT I actually started laughing out loud on a city bus just now.

rough panda express > hibachi san anyway! goat orange chicken

I like the attempted alibi. Someone "stole" them from me. Not going to look good when they pull the Harrahs cams and see you and your buddies all laughing, having fun together, before you sent them on their way with 200k chips each.

Your story isn't going to hold up, whoever they find that played in the tourney is going to testify against you, and that persons story is going to be way more believable than "some guys stole my fake borgata chips".

You made fake chips, you gave them to the people you backed, you lose.
You made fake chips, someone stole them, you win.

Which is a jury and judge going to believe, when you have likely more than 1 person testifying that you gave them the chips.

Might as well just out yourself now, it's good for the game.

Sorry Dan, hard for me to bite my tongue. Instead of buying stocks and commodities, I back poker players for my investments. I put a lot of time and research into whom I can trust my limited wealth with. This comes with a great deal of explanations to family and friends and several sacrifices along the way all of which they don't understand as they give me their blessing. Frauds need called out and shunned like they have the Black Plague! Douchebags like this guy make a mockery of all the hard work we all do. I will not be tolerable to this behavior and if it's in my presence at the poker table, I will bring it to light sparing no expense!

I don't blame you at all man. I had a percentage of someone who just missed the top 100, never know if he was affected by this. Also obviously made day 2 myself and when the integrity is compromised who knows what ripple effects it had.

Now, no more 10ths for you, ship something please!!

"The Royal Flush"

I like where this is going

I flushed my toilet about 6 times that night. I promise you no poker chips were going down those pipes

Leaving aside that the snarkiness of his S/N is in conflict with the apologetic tone of his posts...justbecauseican's story sounds about as real as a cow’s dick. Oh and the book deal thing...what a LOLdetail to throw in. Like, if I was going to spend my hard-earned legit money to read about a scam, it had better be a scam that actually WORKED - not some lame-brained plot executed in a half-assed way that was caught and stopped dead cold midway through. This alleged story is Three Stooges material, not Ocean’s 11, dood.

Yes all the chips in your photo are real.

He poisoned you?omg. I can't stop laughing. Start another thread about this. Please.

Worst book ever. Even if we gave a **** who'd buy that shortly excuse for a book?

Troll. The book deal is the "just over the top" bit that trolls can't seem to stop themselves from adding... but it's in the next quote where you'll see the sherlock holmes error...

No bond is set until you are arrested AND appear in front of a judge. (or it's on the arrest warrant, but you haven't been arrested yet, so would be unaware, unless you have a friend at the DA? maybe a lawyer can chime in here...)
I call bull****.

the only way this is close to true, is if he's a patsy instructed to take the fall.

You should have gone with "I made fake chips to prove to TD what could happen, how easy they were to counterfeit, and hopefully get a contract for my buddy's chipmaking company, but then my friends stole the chips before I could meet with him because I had planned on doing this closer to the main event..." or something

you must post your initials here before an arrest is made or that proves you are full of chit

Damn, you beat me. It's the first thing that came to mind.

I had the following typed up ready to go, then I decided to read the rest of the thread and saw your post...

Has the journey been long—and now you are tired?
