he sent me a religiously-centered e-mail very similar to this many months ago.

He hacked my original 2p2 account.

coming soon to an airport near you, complete with business card.

Indeed.


To me it feels like the guy is mocking his victims.

Can we just go one ****ing day without a story about scamming, cheating, lying???

The poker community makes me very sad and disappointed sometimes.

GL to everyone that got scammed, this is some bull****.

lol

For the victims that don't wish to wait for repayment: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

expected this will come up

nice

I hope OP's faith and repentance is genuine, and that God redeems this situation for Jesus' glory and everyone's good. Prayers for all involved.

Great idea, Joe.

OP, it's good to hear that you are sorry for your actions and want to make up for them. The monetary and psychological damage you did to your victims is very big and it will be hard, if not impossible, to compensate them with money that you don't have.

What you do seem to have however, is a great deal of knowledge about your profession: stealing from poker players and abusing loopholes in security systems and poker software. Although you did wrong, I respect that.

You might think that you have nothing to offer right now. I think there is a way. Share your knowledge with us and prevent others from falling prey to the same tricks and getting hurt in the same way that your victims did.

Compose a documentation where you could explain in great detail every method you applied to exploit the system, what other potential dangers there are and how we as a poker players can close the gaps in our security systems to make the online poker world a safer place.

This is your chance to change something for the better.

in after hasu

Great post, I'll find it very interesting if OP share his thoughts with us. However, his knowledge (scam methods) could be used by others "easy money wannabees". Dunno

What do we know about this guy?

Uh, good objection. Now I feel stupid for not thinking of that. Maybe the information could be released by a curator who will make sure that everything is aimed at protecting people instead of teaching them to scam.

Meh. Dnegs could scam more than $279k, just needs 2 weeks imo

I am not one of the victims; however there really are only 2 ways to make amends.

1.) Sell everything you own so you can start making payments right before you confess everything with documentation and timelines to the police and accept jail time

2.) Post your picture, make a video confession and then refer to option #1.

Both options include jail time, but these are the only way to truly repent and come clean.

Seems like if you don't play on Lock you're ~80% less likely of getting scammed by this guy.

lol Lock

One source states that he is 28 years old.

so that's who scammed Micah

Teach us how to protect us, not the specifics how you did it, thanks.

So did OP just get bored with poker?

He's been known for years in the Zoo. Mike Haven or Rainbow Warrior posted a lot of his personal info, including mugshots from prior arrests. It might be all in the OP of the transfer thread.

I mean cool God story bro. I sincerely hope you get some jail time for what you've done. For once, in the poker world of scumbags, it would be awesome to see someone actually get the punishment they deserve.

How bout instead of mocking OP, we actually give this thread a chance to be used as a tool to possibly pay back the victims? Just a thought

Where i come from this is allways sarcasm.
