2p2 sleuths commence thou sleuthing.
my english is not the best but here are some news.
according to hochgepokert hes on the run/escape and is in Qatar.
The victims are from austria, germany, england, netherlands, switzerland and they are working on the investigation. they doubt the police with no knowledge about the online poker world is able to get this done so they investigate on their own and then want to bring it to court in london.
There was also an interview with niki jedlicka (one of the victims)a few days ago.
some cliffs of the interview
niki lost 350k to max in a few hours.
the reason they went to his hotel room and confronted him is that one victim called max on the phone and confronted him with the accusations. initial plan was to wait and investigate before confronting him with police.
on the police station max confessed but when a cop told him he might go to prison for 10 years he decided to say hes no guilty.
niki doesnt hate max. wasnt big percentage of his roll and he doesnt value money so much anyway. but ofcause hes not happy about it.
max was actually a good player back in the days. made more than 1 million $ playing plo on full tilt. but he went broke and had a lot of debts.
thats when he decided to start his "comeback" with the trojan.
max pretty much destroyed some poker players. for example there was a player who normally played 2000$ hunsg got crushed by max and had to move down again and again. but max followed him down in the limits (everytime with a different account). this went so far that the players bankroll was so small he had to play 100$ husngs and even then max kept playing him (again with different account).
there are victims who never had personal contact with max but had the trojan on their computer. so there might be several scammers/partners.
