This is basically just getting a licensing authority worthy of the name, isn't it. No more dodgy tax haven islands issuing worthless paper, as with FTP. If you had a proper licensing authority, part of the terms of the license could (and should) include provisions for this type of auditing.

Clearly it is problematic because of races to the bottom, as with tax havens, and even more so because you are dealing with internet businesses.

why would anyone make that up, just for jealousy they would make up that entire conversation, if you really think about it the person that posted the op knew they were cheating and without outing themselves decided to post the proof anonymous because of all the scum involved in this. It is far more likely that the majority of this is true. Especially by his reaction to all of this, he has dragged his fathers name through the mud and continues to act like a kid that does not feel the need to man up and take responsibility for his actions,

I honestly think he may have lost that 350000 in one week to the person that knows the person that posted this. Maybe the person hacking adz had a trojan on the small screen computer he said he was using. And from that hacking session they retrieved these convos. Anything is possible now, but without a doubt this guy is a lying POS, I hope his daddy at least spanks him lol.

Its likely Samer and then by default ADZ have both forced into this situation by fear - I am no way condoning their scummy behaviour but if forced and threatened you would be amazed what people would do. If the Bandidos threatened Samer to get them money, he would stoop to scamming to get it, then he needed to scam ADZ, who in turn needed to scam if you understand what I mean. Its a chain. Almost like a pyramid scheme with most of, if not all of the money going to the Bandidos. This is obviously just a wild guess and I have no real clue of any of the facts.

Another theory is ADZ's personality disorder (I have a family member with borderline personality disorder & know alot about it), they can be impulsive, rarely think of the consqeuences and almost always act irrationally and take no responsibilities for their actions nor do they care - it manifests itself in the form of mania, depression, suicidal tendancies, drug abuse, addiction, suicide and a plethora of other traits and almost impossible to cure thus the Docs tend to throw the term around loosely. Also the fact he likes the baller, party lifestyle and has referenced to 'gangsters' and mafia type people could indicate he actually enjoyed being in the company of said villains as he is able to throw his weight about in the nightclubs or wherever and feel somewhat protected (likelihood is he wasnt), I also know people like this and many come from privelged middle/upper class backgrounds like ADZ.

Who knows.

You been on the beak again Dappa lad?

DADADZ to the rescue

Que?

Dad just said what a normal dad would say in trying to protect and help his son. The only problem I have with dad is he's duped into thinking his lowlife son is an innocent victim. Then again Mr. Manson always thought his boy Charles was framed.

In order to come up with such deep thinking theories, I'm suggesting you have spent the evening in the company of Colombia's finest.

father is misinformed obviously as they usually are in cases in general and always agree with their s0n.

wonder if he thinks its ok and ethical to play in a 3 handed game/sharing cards and chopping up another guys $$$. when i return to high stakes cash itd only be hu, cuz its ok with pokersites to softplay and i disagree

They can still see your hole cards

Haha, tbh they arent that far fetched. Its known he has some sort of personality disorder this comes from loads of reputable people saying there is smth not right with him. Also because villains are involved one could also come to the conclusion that he might have been acting out of fear, i.e being extorted. Who knows, could be the yeyo too

Seriously man, stop this drivel. And yes, i call nosebag

(And come on man, it's pretty clear that the family member is your good self)

still not much idea where original skype and FB came from? did Matt lose his phone recently? think i read that early on but not sure

pretty sure cycling as poker covered when it comes to cheating.

On his Twitter one pro (forgot who) swears that Marafioti told him that Lauren Kling released it.

Keep dreaming. There's 50 guys in the world that cheat at cycling. There's 20 million that cheat at poker. Nobody is cheating in a 10 mile bike race in DeMoines, Iowa but somewhere in DeMoines there's a poker game where two partners are signaling to each other.

Matt Marafioti was born on third base and thought he'd hit a triple

Rob, thanks. I had seen that and it's definitely a strong contender although Matt is clearly delusional so i wouldn't take anything he says at face value.

one thing i think that Matt clearly misunderstands is that underworld types hate his type. He is way way too talkative. I think some minor criminal types i knew would label him a "heat score"

What is puzzling is why Will Molson has not come on 2+2 to discuss the reported tirade ADZ had with Reynolds about Molson. Also to discuss why Molson no longer talks to Matt. Molson outted Chino on here awhile back when Chino stole $$$ from him, Will owes it to poker world to discuss what he knows or doesn't know about Matt Marafioti's alleged attempt to hack him. Cant have it both ways Will.

yeah this

I agree...
Matt is quite obviously playing with less than a full deck.
His motivation seems to be revenge of some sort, as opposed to the criminals involved that were quite obviously motivated by money, as those type of 'people" usually are.
So Matt seems to have somehow justified this is his slightly "Abby Normal" brain as something other than criminal ... or even unethical.

Therefore in this case, The situation truly is more "sad than infuriating" as you said.
(And it actually could be a positive thing because it seems to have been made public before Matt was able to help Samer & Co. do any real harm, (not that those slime didn't already do real harm without Matt's help)

So this situation serves as a very effective eye opener about computer security for poker players and others.

As always, you truly are a Class act Tony.

As always Tony, you are so well spoken and pure class! It is tough to argue with your assessment. While I always want to see scumbags, a**holes, and arrogant people get what they deserve, it is clear that Matt suffers from true mental illness. Perhaps Matt's dad is just as much to blame as Matt is, as his dad seems to be feeding Matt's delusions/narcissism/extreme immaturity when his dad should be doing the exact opposite.

Maybe they should have a segment called "Ones to Watch Out For"

This scam goes back six years atleast. I think it has done alot of damage even if Matt didn't come through.

Just speculating- Say Matt did scam Molsi and others my guess would be Matt would of been reluctant to pay the percentage to bandidos or Samer. Matt justifying it to himself he earned it all with his superior skills screw them. That would likely end in a worse outcome for him.

How could you possibly think you know this? You are dead wrong.
