I don't think you know how ipods word.

Expecting to solve a hacking case without evidence three years after it happened isn't realistic. Many of these alleged victims were suspicious of getting hacked back when it happened, but how many of them took their computers for experts to check? It's not like computer security professionals didn't exist back then.

Even though it's suspicious, it still doesn't prove anything. Back in the day top pros, especially on FTP, used to have multiple accounts that they would use for a short period of time to gain the advantage of being anonymous.

I'm not saying I don't believe poker players have gotten hacked like this. I'm just trying to point out that you need really hard evidence to prove it and even then the pokersite couldn't confiscate the money from the hackers account because it hasn't been used in three years.

is samer 23?

no, he 32 (-ish?)
he also doesn't look anything like the guy who got arrested, if that was where you were going. Not saying that means that he isn't involved in that incident but I don't think we have read anything yet that would support that theory (apart from that yet another criminal poker-related thing happened in the same city where he lives). I wouldn't be too shocked if there was a connection but just the city alone is a little thin for a theory imo.

You might want to do a little research before you start trolling down that road, sir.

WTF that guy just flat out grimmed me and i even defended him in my post above Confirmed POS now.

Samer Rahman posted a reply to the accusations on a Swedish forum, has it been x-posted here?

Im 100% sure Lodden was hacked. It was almost too obvious. The period they played I had a job where I could rail all day.

The thing that got my attention was the flop-action.

Lodden was a VERY aggressive player and betted A LOT of pots.

In more than 90% of all flops one of two things happened:

1. Lodden bet out and FastFreddie re-raised or all-in: Lodden folded
2. Lodden bet out and FastFreddie folded

I believe non-showdown pots was his plan to make monies without leaving any hard evidence.

FastFreddie showed up sucking donkey-ass, and everyone was surprised he could take Lodden for $2-300k, he took $2-3M.

Plenty of us was suspicious long before the allegations came.

Reading that this mohammed guy is/was connected with a hacker dosent surprise me at all.

I believe one of FastFreddies victims had his computer investigated by a pro security company that did find a trojan.

As I have written before, the situation where FastFreddie declined Lodden action because Lodden was at a hotell with a ****ty connection is VERY suspicious, FastFreddie was a big douche who had the least poker-etiquete ive ever seen, and would take any edge he could, no matter how bad manner it was.

Oh.. and about the Pokerstars reply that its unlikely that a hacker could see others peoples hole cards... WTF?? easy as hell "function: `print screen` email/upload to website" WOLLAH!

Such a shame for Lodden, he missed out the golden full tilt high stakes years, and when he came somewhat back up there, he had too little monies and missed the chance to follow the development in the game.

Lodden VS Isildur NL HU with millions of dollars would be the most epic battle imaginable...

Funfact, durrrr was railing Lodden and was a fanboy from what I can remember

This was about 2005.

No. Please share it and translate if possible, and tell us why your name is Rahm if you don't mind

this, only explanation for the spew 22 ship is the Aladin "put him on AK" which in itself is absolute **** at these stakes in a 150bb 4bet pot

And old post about FastFreddie/Mohammed:

"#10157513 - 04/28/07 09:15 AM



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."

long before my time...is there an (archive) thread about this FastFreddie and the hacking accusations? did he ever resurface? who is TLK?

yes he did, it was the exact same one as he posted here, just a bunch of nonsense that got ripped to pieces as it had several factual errors and stuff that contradicted matt's own tweets.

How players were cheated:

Involves cheater luring a player to click a link which allows the cheater to see the player's screen. Links used include have been a chess site, youtube link or teamviewer pro link.

How to prevent getting cheated in this way:

- Do not click licks.
- Use a separate computer to play poker.
- Install anti-virus software. AVIRA has highest detection rate for non-viral malware. I had McAfee and was running scans regularly but it did not detect anything but KasperSky did. Do not simultaneously use other real-time detection and removal software as it can compromise activity of AVIRA.
- Install anti-snoop software because anti-virus may not detect the trojan.
- Install sandboxie (from sandboxie.com) and run any shady software "sandboxed" which essentially means it will revert all changes the program makes to your system when the program closes. Also run your primary browser (chrome is recommended) sandboxed when visiting unfamiliar sites.

If you suspect something

- Download zone alarm and it should tell you what IP addresses the trojan is communicating with.
- Run Ethereal to record all the traffic to and from your network in great detail.
- Post on 2p2.

Screen names that cheated:

PokerStars

saman_r

- Location (as displayed on poker site to the best of my knowledge): Gothenburg, Sweden.
- Bears a close resemblance to the name Samer Rahman.
- Cheated jasjas11 for 90k and stopped playing him after jasjas11 reformatted laptop.
- Only played 25/50 NLH HU vs. jasjas11 who was a winning regular at the time.

westisbestis

- Location: Sweden
- Cheated jasjas11 for 50k.
- Cheated AD124 for 30k.

PAYMENOT

- Location: Sweden
- Cheated ADZ124 for 70k.
- Similar to Patrik Antonious' Prima network screen name "TiltMeNot" who was reportedly cheated in the same way by Mohammed Kowassarie
- Used AIM screen names "oopsdiditagain" and "thomasfjellheim"

regista8

- Location: Sweden.
- Involved in 'coaching scam' that led to Haseeb Quereshi being cheated on Full Tilt by POKERFATMAN. I did notify the head of security of PokerStars in 2010 with regards to him but he did take any action and currently PokerStars say they do not have sufficient evidence to freeze his account.
- Players in this thread have expressed suspicions over him.

luckyULSA

- Location: Norway.
- Players have expressed suspicions over him.

Full Tilt

Alladiin

- Used AIM screen name "Johancederkrantz"
- Installed trojans on several players computers by sending them a link to a chess site.
- Contacted Matthew Mafrioti/ADZ124 to play on Alladiin on a freeroll staking deal from 10/20 to 40/80 which Marafioti agreed to.
- Cheated Jas11 for 50k; 4greatjustice for 70k; MicahJ for 200k.

BAD_GATEWAY

- Location: Sweden
- Was up 300k in 9k hands on PTR at 25/50.
- Cheated Jas11 for 50k; Kadabra for 77k.
- Likely cheated vs. Ozzy 97 for 60k and notama for 60k.
- Similar to Johnny Lodden's Prima network screen name "Bad_ip" who was allegedly cheated by Mohammed Kowassarie.

POKERFATMAN

- Cheated Haseeb Qureshi for 75k over 800 hands at 25/50 during a time Qureshi was definitely hacked by someone in Stockholm, Sweden.
- Cheated Jas11 for 20k.

regista8

- Location: Sweden.
- Involved in 'coaching scam' that led to Haseeb Qureshi being cheated on Full Tilt by POKERFATMAN. I believe I did notify the head of security of PokerStars in 2010 with regards to him but he did take any action.
- Players in this thread have expressed suspicions over him.

luckyULSA

- Located: Norway
- Players have expressed suspicion.

iPoker

- Friend expressed suspicion over capone111.

BartonPro1

- Screen name uses AIM "Johancederkrantz" which was used by Alladiin and PAYMENOT.
- Two players have complained about this screen name with one player mentioning the name Andreas Willam who may have played on this account, cheating him for 75k.

I was under the impression that tiltmenot was bengt sonnert(swedish high stakes regular back in 2004-2005ish) and i_knockout_U was patrik antonius on PRIMA.

Johancederkrantz was a "profile" back in the days, was it a hacked profile? faked?

Why vast majority think Samer Rahman is responsible

- The first screen name that cheated jasjas11 is saman_R which bears a close resemblance to his name.
- I have been told by people who have contacted him he is responsible.
- His previous job was in IT security.
- Has ties to Mohammed Kowassarie who has been accused of cheating Johnny Lodden and Patrik Antonious.
- I have been contacted by players in Sweden who believe Samer Rahman is responsible for cheating Swedish players for over $50million dollars.
- Reportedly has an expensive car and accommodation.
- In the conversation with Marafioti in the OP, he says he has "been offline for 2 years more or less" which coincides with the accounts that cheated being banned in 2010.

Matthew Marafioti's role

Alladiin

In the conversation between Samer Rahman and Marafioti in the OP, ADZ says the following:

[12-01-04 11:27:09 PM] Matthew Marafioti: i used the alladiin account
[12-01-04 11:27:13 PM] Matthew Marafioti: then i asksed i am soso

- He played on Alladiin without the ability to see hole cards on a free-roll staking deal given to him by the person/s that cheated after communicating with them on AIM. He claims he did not know they were involved in cheating. He lost on the stake.

Conversation with Rahman

- Conversation in the OP looks completely real based on its flow and the fact that certain pieces of information would be impossible to fabricate. Marafioti believes it has been altered. He failed to provide me with the actual conversation upon request claming he does not have it.
- Based on the assumption that the conversation is real and ADZ's tweets, it seems as though he had the desire and capability to cheat people such as molswi.

To me all of Jas posts are blockbuster and FT and PS should be notified of the posts in case they are not viewing this thread, though I am sure that they are and will be investigating.

However maybe we should make the assumption that they are doing nothing in all of this as there has been no transparancy or communication by both sites. They have not made one comment about this thread and their secrecy under the guise of presumed security and privacy is not appropriate in this very public case.

They choose to make comments about a player in the staking thread but not here. Their silence is deafening.

I will be following this thread throughout the coming weeks and if they choose not to update us on this situation then more pressure may need to be exerted.

At this point if I was adz, I'd out Samer straight up.

You know what would help confirm "jas" posts?.....some concrete proof....until then....these are just stories that will never lead to anything.

Yes. Nobody should post anything at all unless they have video of the smoking gun, a bloody glove and three forms of ID.

Dude don't you realize theyve been notified privately of all this stuff for years? There's basically nothing they can do since it's not the fault of their software and they have no HARD proof.

And lol at notifying FT and PS. Did you hear they are owned by the same people now?


his username doesn't interest you? I thought maybe he was referring to a more recent post on a swedish forum.

you're asking for something that does not exist unless you are samer rahman or adz
