Erick Lindgren Owes Over $100,000 for Fantasy League, Won't Pay - Page 98 - Poker News

No idea who it is, so it's a situation where I HOPE it's him. Certainly matches the time frame. Lindgren is about my age, and that shot looks very 1980s in terms of its aesthetic and palette.

In reality, it's one of the shots that appears on various listicles/videos about bad school portraits. I've also seen it in articles for photographers on how NOT to use props.

He went from Matt Damon to Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I want to say that I've seen or read an interview where he denied that it's him and said people ask him about it all the time. But I can't find it.

Thinking about it some more, this might have been Jim Gaffigan on Hot Ones.

Really? I see Moneymaker all the time at my local casino in Norcal playing 2/5, limit omaha or the occasional weekly tournament. The casino gives him free food/drinks and they say it's his "home casino", whatever that means. Didn't know he was sponsored.

well the "sponsor" is stones cardroom which is norcal. i know moneymaker was wearing some stones swag and stones just bought seven mile.

pretty decent assumption that if he's playing a lot at your cardroom and he's getting free stuff then there's probably some kind of arrangement, lol.

The funniest thing about this video is the sloshed Layne Flack singing Scotty's praises and Lindgren ignoring his street guy handshake.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IjdQnWmUAo

yeah, because everyone here has never had to deal with any personal or financial challenges, right? His are obviously more public because of the amount of money he got from FT and he admitted to screwing people out of some loans. He fessed up to being a degen and has to deal with everything that comes with it- BK, rehab, people talking ****, but c'mon. He appears far from perfect but there's far worse out there in the poker community. BTW, who has seen Jesus' video of 'apology'? Throw shade at guys like him at Howard. They're the real POS, this guy at least came clean

Stealing $100,000 is a FELONY, which almost always entails years of jail time. If anything he should feel lucky, his biggest worry is a degrading post about him online.
