Chino Rheem SCUM part two (more scams) - Page 12 - Poker News

Can you imagine him trying to pull this on Tony G, Ziigmund or Ivey? Don't think he'd last too long.

Btw, word on the street is that Granma is going around buying Chino's debts.

Offenses such as cheating, poor sportsmanship, public intoxication, a criminal record, and failure to follow financial agreements are all things that the league will not stand for.

We compiled a list of all players who we believed had previously conducted themselves in a way that if continued would lead to their elimination from the league and personally reminded each individual that they will not be allowed to participate in the league if their future behavior is the same as their past behavior.

I don't want to talk about any specifics but I will say that people who are poor representitives of the game of poker will not last very long in this league and the epl will publicly "out" people who are kicked out of the league rather than simply tell them not to show up and keep it hush-hush

this is like the police/government saying, we know that you committed crime x and have obvious proof, but we don't care enough to lock you up for it. just don't commit any future crimes or we'll have to reconsider.

Not sure if subiime is still reading, but do you really expect to get paid back if he luckboxes something? All evidence seems to be to the contrary, and the owing list is too long to keep track of at this point. Also, how many more get scammed until that happens.

timex, your post is pretty lolworthy and totally self-involved unless Chino is one of the players you plan to publicly get rid of in the near future.

I truly understand that you want your money back, and I hope you all get it in the end, but if Chino really has money, something has to be wrong. When people don't give a **** about paying, it can be pure selfishness but can also be despair. I think the latter might be the case here.

you are either chino himself or completely insane

if you actually believe wat u just said, can i borrow 50k from u?

itd be a funny joke if someone kidnapped chino and sold his organs on the black market to pay back debts. kind of like if ivey had magically successfully sued ftp for 150m and paid back all the us players.

Everyone is getting Chino'd including me at the Epic Poker ME tonight. I need to add another new meaning to Chino'd in Urban Dictionary.
I went all-in against Chino on turn on a board of Kh-Jd-8c-10h.
Me - Kd Js
Chino - Ks 10s Flopped top two pair and Chino turned a worse two pair. 10d fell on the river, giving Chino a full house. Got Chino'd wat wat-lol
Hopefully he uses my chips wisely and goes deep to pay back Will which would be an omen for all!

He's not ashamed to admit it and he knows that the poker world is finding out about his dirty ways.
Looks like he's tryna clear his name if he cashes big in this event.

For all of you suggesting "outing" him and making it public knowledge for shame's sake, if you live in Vegas or LA it already is public knowledge.

All at fault already with this guy. Everyone has become too politically correct. 20 years ago Chino would be split in so many pieces over just 1 debt. Cant believe he is still has the balz to show his face so damn absurd!
Nothing good will come out of this for Chino, he really should consider doing a disappearing act quickly on his terms not someone else's terms

Chino may or may not pay back ... but poker doesn't need more of this tough guy bull**** people are talking about with old mob ways of breaking people's knees. I know 99% are just some internet tough guys; but don't promote that barbaric ****. 2+2 is not for organizing hits on people who owe money.

He obviously got in way too deep and just stopped giving a **** after a while. Hopefully people who care about the community can help lift him up and get people paid back, which is obviously what the Grinder has been helping him to do.

Not advocating violence at all..Chino does need help and whoever is bankrolling needs to stop enabling him. Just saying amazing how things have changed the past 20-30 years over cheats/debts

sub its pretty naive to think he is going to pay you back even if he luckboxes something. you better be there when he cashes out. gl to people he owes.

I also don't want anyone else getting scammed so I'll say this: he has also scammed me for $40k and I know others in the same spot. The poker world is full of borrowing and lending money, so when a well-known player comes to you with believable collateral, it's hard not to lend money. For me, the collateral he offered was that he had a piece of the Grinder at the WSOP Main Event last summer. The Grinder confirmed this for me. But clearly it was offered to multiple people and I never saw a dime back.

Of course I hate having to eat $40k but there is nothing we can do in this situation. I'm not gonna get money back through violence. I can't sue (and even if I did, he's broke he can't pay). He still plays everything through either more scams or through his numerous connections in live poker so we do have to see him all the time. I do not expect to see a dime back unless he goes on a miraculous heater. It's an expensive and stupid lesson I had to learn (ie don't trust anybody) and have to live with. The best I can do now is to save other people from being robbed.

Moral of the story: Do not lend Chino money.

Karma is a b***h! he will get his somewhere.

i think its especially sick that most so many honest poker players have trouble selling stakes to $1500s and lower. yet, this guy gets handed more than alot of peoples bankrolls to degen off and never pay back. its good that these things arent news enough to hit the general public(obv news regs, just not on the news,etc.), cause poker has enough black marks already.

GL to all getting paid back.
