Sounds like the Jersey devil gets around.

He has a new set of videos out as Los Tres Gatos with about 2K subscribers
12-20-2019 , 04:41 PM
He just changed the name of his youtube account. No new videos. He just hid his most of his old videos and left 2 videos up, one from September and one from October.

Its starting to be like half a poker vlog and half a mentally ill person with a phone vlog.
casinos in reno essentially DO let homeless people sleep in their rooms. its easier to get a free room there than anywhere. last time i was in reno, i was still getting about 16 rooms a night free per month divided between 5 different casinos.

2 rooms per week 1 place, 3 per month 2 places, and 2 per month one other place. so i hated paying by the month airbnb elsewhere as many nights as id get free

as far as mark ari goes, i always thought he was a great vlogger, but was disappointed he never wanted to meet

I assume Mark is still locked up?
12-31-2019 , 04:28 PM
He got out of jail a long time ago. It would come as a surprise to no one if he is locked up again though.

Now he changed his channel name to Fin (French for 'the end') and deleted all his videos. Can someone please check on him?
07-28-2020 , 05:49 AM
i heard he recently just passed away. I don't know why he came to my mind. I haven't seen his videos in at least over a year. So i searched for him and saw an obituary page on him. It's so weird....why would all a sudden search for his videos? Person who posted it only 9 hours ago

This is pretty sad indeed,wondering what happened to him

We poker players are an odd, fascinating lot, and it is always sad when one of us exits the conversation.
07-28-2020 , 03:43 PM
It's immensely sad there isn't a more comfortable place for people expressing outward symptoms of distress. RIP mark.
07-28-2020 , 06:24 PM
This is incredibly sad and I offer my condolences to his family and friends. RIP to Mark.

I didn't know him at all personally but I saw a lot of great things in him in his videos. He was highly intelligent, insightful, entertaining, creative, funny and made you think about a lot of things. I think many viewers of his videos saw little bits of themselves in him and in the things he described about life. I will remember him with fondness for those reasons.

Very sad news... Could a mod please change/update the title of this thread?
07-28-2020 , 08:44 PM
Hope hes in a better place now, RIP.

When people die before their 35th bday, there are not too many different reasons.

Most common ones for someone that young is car crashes (99.9% sure that was not the cause for him) and drugs.

Not to sound uncaring but with all of the recent happenings in his life over the past few years being in jail etc, most likely he had experienced a "heroin" overdose (I put quotation marks around heroin since 90%+ of all bags of "heroin" are now just straight fentanyl mixed with cut and there is no heroin in it whatsoever.)

New Jersey has the cheapest heroin prices in the country being a port location and all. Not to mention opioid overdoses have increased dramatically during the quarantine and pandemic. Cities and states all over the country have seen a gigantic spike of fatal overdoses due to this quarantine.

It is just a sad situation all around.

RIP Mark

It's poor taste speculating on the cause of someone's death ITT.
07-29-2020 , 02:09 PM
Mark passed away from his illness, not from drug abuse. He didn't use heroin, nor fentanyl. He didn't even drink. Please avoid speculating.

He deserves to be remembered for who he was, not some idea of what some may think he was.

Wow when I started this thread I never imagined he'd be dead in a couple years. RIP. Sad to see his downward spiral from mental ilness. Looked to me like his weight gain and bloating were probably from psychiatric drugs and he was making many videos off his medication.

Very true. (However, cause of death probably won't be established in this forum.)
I hope the man was not homicide victim. I was a fan and "Mark Ari" subscriber so I know Mark did a lot of talking about stuff other than poker that may have angered some person or persons.

Im assuming the obit would say how he passed unless it was overdose or suicide. No evidence he did drugs, probably suicide.
