I am José "Girah" Macedo, the so-called "Portuguese Poker Prodigy" - Page 78 - Poker News

I believe that part of the post was a quote which didn't show up as one because you can't nest quotes on this site. Still, if memory serves, he was responding to someone else's use of the term "Ockham's Razor"

Either spelling is okay.

Please Noah, as someone who knows how much hard work it takes in busting a scam, please let this thread remain open. This is the thread where I intend to continue mine & Rangey's exposé.

I don't know why the new thread opened up, and the first one was closed. I guess NVG is in a hurry to know everything instantly, but Rangey and I have info which is a necessary supplement to the "well intentioned cliffnotes" starting just now. I hope those following this thread will still follow here, since we're still not finished on saying everything we want to cover. I've been so addicted to these threads today I forgot to eat for about 8 hours, lol. I'm sure Rangey feels the same way. Congrats to everyone who helped bring down Jose, and let us move forward in our hunt for who's the Kingpin! (unless this was all the work of one person, and Jungleman/Haseeb aren't flying unscathed in their golden parachutes?)

Unable to beat the games any more and short on money he needed a sure fire way to win. Enter the ruse of the young poker prodigy speaking to people on skype whilst looking at their hole cards. They'd have kept doing it except they couldn't take the heat any more.

I also figured that Haseeb must be low on cash since losing his roll which is why it surprised me that he was able to make that huge prop with Ashman. Anyone remember how much it was for?

Rangey can you confirm that you're working with doctessarctyl? Guy sounds like a proper nutjob.

Are you kidding me? You're implying that Durrrr who has logged tens of thousands of hands with JM would not be able to tell fairly quickly if he was playing him or someone else?

Erm, Jose was exposed by scamming other high stakes players over Skype - nothing to do with this thread, it would have happened even if this had been locked months ago...

However, it seems this cabal is not limited to the three consipirators names above. Other well-known poker players have come out in support of Girah/Jose Macedo, providing further proof that the conspiracy goes much deeper than we ever believed.

It annoys me that gregorio is being creidted wit this theory when he did all but lick Jose's testicles in this thread. Speak up for yourself Rangey!

I think it's hilarious, Gregorio must be throwing up

Even more hilarious that on the new cliffs thread loads of people are regurgitating my theory from 3 months ago - which all of a sudden is now being given some credibility... One dude even said "what the hell, I came up with that theory hours ago!" when someone else re-regurgitated it
