As a business owner myself I've learned that people seem to have an incredible amount of gripes once they're no longer employed at the business. Theyre able to tell tall tales and not be held accountable for backing the statement up because theyre no longer employed at (my) business. Does this mean theyre all false? No, I definitely have come to learn good info from past employees who for whatever reason waited until they didnt work for me to let me know something quite pertinent to my business, but as a whole if its a legitimate grievance then they;d say it while it was impacting their day to day.
The accusations the guy made each on their own would be massive deals. If someone was rigging a private game I dont think it would be included in a long wall of text as some afterthought. Wouldnt that be front and center?
Pretty good post. The complaints do just seem like sour grapes from a former employee looking to lash out. Happens in all businesses, even the fairest most honest businesses have issues like this. It doesn't mean there is no truth to everything the ex-employee posted. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle. In this case I don't put much belief into the "whistleblower."
Without ever playing at the Lodge, from what others say in person at the poker tables, I've heard nothing but good things. So it seems they are doing a pretty good job over there, at least word of mouth wise. Doug also seems to be doing a really good job on the live stream, not an easy thing to accomplish based on watching some other try.
Not sure what Doug and the Crypto scam details are. But if it's just he was schilling / advertising for a crypto that went under and people lost money. That doesn't make Doug a scammer. There is a long list of celebrities with great reputations their whole lives who do business with companies that turn out to be scammers.... That does not make them scammers! Unless they knew it was a scam all along.
