This is all we know from Lodden's perspective.
"Lodden Accuses Fast_Freddie of Cheating
30 Apr, 2007 Poker Gossip
In a recent interview with PokerNews, Johnny Lodden accused Mohammed (aka Fast_Freddie or TheTerrorist) Kowsa of cheating him out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The interview was posted on 2+2, which created a very intersting discussion where several high stakes swedish players responded, and Fast_freddie himself even threw in his two cents. Here is the translation of the original dutch interview, translated by 2+2er Rabbitsmustdie:
On the first of juny 2006 he made history by losing the biggest pot in online-poker history. His opponent, Fast Freddy, won a pot worth of 465.411 dollars! In the consecutive period of time Johnny lost a few hundreds of thousands dollars to this player. Johnny was mistified, as it had always been him winning loads of money from fast_freddy and not the other way around.He [ff]was one of the worst players at the online high stakes games. There have been rumours that FF hacked Johnny’s and other players’ accounts and by doing this was able to see his opponents hole cards. I talked to the usually silent Johhny when I was in Monte Carlo and we also talked about this matter.
[....]
Lot’s of people think FF is really Freddy Deeb, but you know better?
-Yes I know who he is. His name is Mohammaded Koswa and not before long he was one of the worst players online. I lost an incredible amount of money to him and it doesn’t make any sense at all. We are convinced that he scammed us.
That’s a remarkable story. Who are “we” and do you have any proof?
-There are more people of whom he suddenly won a lot of money. Myself, I don’t really have undenieable evidence, but I heared others do have. We are collecting all the evidence available at the moment. If he pops up again, we are going to get/handle him, that’s for sure.
Could it be that another player was playing on his account? A big player who is a lot better?
-No, and I am a 100% sure. It just can’t be. The moves he was making were completely irrational. But enough on this mather, I’m sure it will be all right.
If it’s all true, this must be “The scandal of the decade”.
-Yes, it is, I hope I get him.
This post was followed up by one by a new 2+2 user who registered with the username “ItIsTrue”:
TLK found a trojan on his computer after F_F had contacted him trying to set up a game.
TLK bribed a tech support guy at an ISP to find out who was recieving the info that the trojan was sending.
The one recieving the info? F_F.
F_F has connections to either Hells Angles and/or Bandidos and have been known to threaten people at the poker tables.
The high stakes players in Scandinavia are scared of F_F and more then one player have commented “I don’t want to get killed, so why should I care?”.
TLK stopped playing right after this info leaked early this year.
F_F can’t get a game started anywhere online.
I guess someone tipped off Kowsa about the post on 2+2, as he then added his side of the story, defending that all these accusations were not valid:
here is my side of the coin
This is how it starts:
The first time I ever got in touch with this story was indirectly contact from Erik “Lirarerik” Friberg where he claimed I had cheated him and beat him out of 200.000$ and the game was a setup. At first I had problem even understanding what the intentions of this accusation was as I never had played Friberg for that amount of money.
For the record one of the few players i am down on total against is in fact Lirar Erik because i am not the best omaha player around and constantly played him on B2B for a period of time and this is exactly the discussion Ive had with him the previous year during the EPT barcelona.
I had heard these reputations from some time from real friends and seems things has got out of hand by now, the truth to this story lies that Lirar Erik felt the game i beat him out of PLO 200-400 i won this game irrational and way to fast to be fair gamin
So E. Friberg wants his money back and claims he has evidence for this.! But hesitates to show me what the evidence is.
Now what is funny is like i still stated is that I never beat E. Friberg for this money to begin with, I understand that Erik Friberg must mean the period Erik123 used my account and won 450 k on FullTiltpoker using the alias TerrorOfSweden and 200 of them in fact coming from Erik123.
Eventually Lirar Erik must realise after checking this up with Erik123 who is a big player profile in sweden as you must know he realises this.. and now maybe his puzzle falls into place but alas to late…the reputation is way out of hand and now people I meet in local casinos tell me that I have this nasty reputation behind my back but some hesitate tell me the whole story.
Now what happens is due my quite unorthodox play I get to hear from the sessions I am up That I must have cheated -
Now Johnny Lodden who about a year ago lost to me series of 200-400 sessions has heard all of this and all the sudden my play is irrational and I am the worst around, Even tho in Barcelona I openly challenged Johnny to a series of headsup matches live – i am still the worst i guess. I could however see where the accusations come from BUT..
…instead of confronting me – he goes to pokernews and talks [censored] behind my back, something i must put an end to.
Now let me give you a brief background on the game between me and johnny lodden – this game took place when johnny was in monte carlo during the peak of heights in my bankroll prima network. I played him repeatedly with good runs on 200-400. Most of the big pots can be found on highstakes database and I am always wiling to sit down and go them trough with anyone conceurned in this matter. What is funny is people believe I have beat johnny for his whole bankroll when in fact I had two big losses for 250 respective 160 k losses – And alltogether although i am up, I cannot predict the end if I had kept playing Johnny for a longer session. Now how can someone go out accuse me like this inaccurately especially when himself admits he has no evidence about this?
I’d like to also take time answer to the whole MSN story:
a while ago my msn and my contacts were hijacked by a hacker – the same thing that happened to Cogaz and various of other players on primapoker, luckily i got logged out from my accounts at same time I was infront of my pc and managed to put freezes on most of my poker accounts.
HOWEVER alot of contacts leaked out and the villain even chatted and attempted to manipulate my contacts in loaning money pretending to be me or even trick them in various websites. These actions as much as Id like I could not affect in any way. All of this can be backed with my logs of conversations with hotmail support and the local police attempting to reclaim my hotmail.
The day after I got control of my account I personally talked to all my contacts that if you got any malicous files sent from my account during these 48 hours you should consider scanning your computer for trojans or malicous software.
Like i stated before this is not something new to my ears and something has been circulating for over a year / i have chosen not deal with it before the accusers come to a point, but since it all seems to be about slander and putting me down in media instead of trying to make a point I decided to write this.
I cannot explain all the technical details now how things are spread but after this experience I hired a security company to evaluate my system and I recommend anyone who takes poker seriously to follow my step.
Hope this puts a different light to this whole scene but then again I guess i can be flattered as I must be so much talent I am mistaken for something so wrong.
