Did Lars and Ben Grundy win primarily on their Betfair accounts, or was it more spread? If so, I'd imagine they won more on that site than Viktor won on Entraction

Lars primarily won on betfair but he had a number of accounts. Lars probably did win more on betfair than Viktor across multiple accs, but I seem to remember that the ZeBuL_ON account was the biggest winning account. I might be totally wrong of course, going on memory here!
i couldnt believe my eyes when i got to the part that read: "Jeg har altid i medierne afvist, at jeg skulle have lånt min konto til Robert ’Gulkines’ Flink. Men nu er det vist på tide at få sandheden på bordet."
Some quotes from Flink:
”I heard that Blom was devastated over his loss and called people crying. I think there is a possibility that he didn´t think it over before he contacted Bet365.”
”I'm trying to not think about what happened, but I am convinced that Viktor knows that what he did to me was wrong.”
Can't believe they paid it. From the interview it doesn't sound like they've actually been in direct contact with Blom about it; but surely they could've just negotiated with him some figure? I agree with them Blom would likely have never expected 100% back; particularly if he didn't even have history with Zupp at all (from which any MA advantage would be gained). If they made a private deal with Blom to pay back like $250k or whatever then the poker site's threat to take them to court over it is obviously not one to worry about..
history with zupp is irrelevant, the fact is that he did not want to play gulkines, otherwise he would have sat gulkines. He went out of his way to play a fish that was against the sites set of rules, he paid the price albeit hefty but still. It's not far from trying to dodge IRS taxes on a tournie win somewhere in south america or so for a smaller amount, if I am deliberatly trying to dodge it i will also sit on it for a while so I dont get backtaxed when spent the do(or in GK's case, losing to other players) - In retrospect we can all be smartasses but when this happened MA and general scummyness werent uncommon, it was the wild west, noone had been punished for this sort of behaviour yet, and even to this day some high profile player still think MA is fine.
At least Jepson and Flink didn't lose money out of the deal. All they had to do is pay back the money. They took $800k and had to give it back, that's a better outcome than what could have happened.
Just because everyone breaks the rules doesn't mean you can't be the who gets caught and pays the price.
wow, sick. im curious who zupp scammed!? not too many danish highstake guys are known (gus, theo,Eastgate...) maybe he know more scandies like Ziigmund,wilhasha,antonius...
