I thought about why he wouldn't do this as well. Being rather high profile he'd have to be pretty careful on social media and while playing live not to get outted for being in the US I guess. Although ofc he may have had shadier reasons.

Chances are they have and that's why Brian said he was retiring a week or two ago after the summer or w/e the **** he actually said.

Yeah, a dose of reality of a generation raised by nintendos and playstations uncapable of realizing that gambling world is full of scamers and thiefs and sometimes you need to do extra work to colect your money.
Easy game for cheaters, why would they ever stop?

What would that achieve? By residing in the US, he was already banned.

Yes, in a world where travel is highly monitored and connected to your identity, and cameras are mounted everywhere, not to mention there's one in everyone's pocket.

Benjola, your boys don't control the neighborhood anymore.

Not sure this has been mentioned but with Hastings and Lee Jones involved in cardrunners at the same time for a while. Jones will likely have a huge conflict of interest here.

Brian Hastings ‏@brianchastings 1h1 hour ago
Got in altercation w/ dealer who was unhappy that I was helping her make change to speed up game. Enjoy my business while you have it @WSOP

Brian Hastings ‏@brianchastings 1h1 hour ago
Fwiw I was 100% polite, and I tried to verbally help first but it didn't help. Just super over coaching dealers in every tourney. A grind.

Brian Hastings ‏@brianchastings 1h1 hour ago
I really hope @WSOP does the right thing and starts a players committee to help work thru the issues. W/o it I will play v little in future.

Has this scum said anything about sitting Viktor HU?
Even I can't find one possible explanation for that, except that he's a scum.

Of course he's right, it's just pretty amusing that he's so offended by someone who does something mildly out of line.
