This is just a continuance of those painful text threads you posted in the OP.
You have no options but continue to get gaped by this guy other then seek civil litigation.
His site is empty and so is his wallet.
In my opinion.
If his wallet is empty, receiving $900 every now and then might yield better results than hiring a lawyer. Hopefully there are no future victims of his Ponzi scheme, as that puts the players who are currently owed in a position to ponder the source of the payments, if they continue to be smurfed.
I’ve heard a decent amount about these clubs, good and bad. Barring software that can be manipulated (something I haven’t heard yet), collusion seems to be the next biggest threat. I also wonder if bots exist on these sites.
But I’d guess the source of most of the scams from these agent based sites occurs when the player deposits w an agent who is unwilling to back up the money - should an issue w the site arise.
Anybody considering depositing on sites like Poker Master (big bet site) or Kingsclubpkr (mid/hi stakes mix game site that spreads everything), will have the best chance at keeping their balance secure if agent is:
1) long-standing rep as a trustworthy member of the poker community (10-15 yr old 2p2 mod accounts who monitor trading threads and/or other sub-forums would seem to qualify)
2) Willing to back up deposit w his or her own money in the event of a club/site collapsing. I think they should if they’re willing to take your money and earn from your play.
3) Access to consultants w agent based gaming experience that predate the first hand of online poker, should minor discrepancies arise (from 470k sushi debts owed to eventual scamming wife beaters down to 25k softballl fees owed to decent 2p2ers)
4) direct communication w ownership. If the site starts to go bad, having these 4 bases covered will give the players w the best agents the best chance at seeing their money first. Def not cool for agents to accept incoming deposits in a ponzi, just to get their players paid imho. But if they have all 4 bases covered, nobody has any bs play through requirements in order to withdraw.
I have found only one so far that meets all criteria, but his elbows are pointy, so I’m still on the prowl. Nypk, you give love a bad name. How long did you and liberal chick think your house of cards could last, before your victims started coming forward, saying “me too”?
