hope you get it back wcg

How come none of the "high profile" pros are calling out Brad when they see him at any of the bigger Vegas tournies? Wouldn't people want to expose him? I would assume that Hellmuth would''ve been all over that after the initial blackmail thread.

Sorry to hear about the situation OP. Ignore the fools bashing you.

In all honestly I think you should put up one of the "Person X is a scammer" websites. The guy has a reputation you can dent, might as well shame him on Google. It sucks to have to do something like that but the $/hour you'll make back would be worth it IMO.

Best of luck.

Here's my tip: don't buy into the FaceBook IPO.

Actually, it sounds like a pretty great idea to me. Maybe not always $100 increments. Adjust the increments based on the size of the total transfer and other factors.

But in general this sounds like a great idea. Would only be a minor inconvenience (how long reciprocal transfers take affects this - I am assuming they do not take too long) and I think would drastically decrease the risk of being scammed and even if you are scammed, you only lose an amount equal to one of the smaller increments.

* Imagines Brad handing 1k at a time to WCGrider as he transfers*

(I gave you the setup 2+2)

Brad should buy the domain bradboothisathiefandascammer.com asap imo.

It is not tax free (unless it isn't income in the first place, but I think everybody would agree that it seems likely that at least a lot of it is income).

And nobody said anything about wanting to perform this transaction in order to commit tax evasion. And I don't think that was the reason for the transaction. I don't think you should impute that motivation to the OP'er with absolutely no support for it. It is a pretty serious accusation.

The reasons why the transaction was desirable have been stated in this thread over and over again. However, people are constantly making posts that show they didn't read those statements and have no clue what the reasons were.

This is pretty disappointing. Played with this guy years ago when I first started playing and looked up to him. Seemed like an alright guy, but this is pretty damn scummy!!

Hope you get your money back OP.

Is anyone still on his facebook? I unfriended him after posting those... I wonder if he commented or deleted them. Might be an indicator of OP's future.

Oh dear, are you good at picking up tells?

In fact, making transfers like this is often directly related to evading taxes. The US government requires all transfers over a certain dollar amount to be reported (even among one's own accounts); other countries have similar requirements. Later, in the US, at least, there is a (usually fairly small) cap on the value of "gifts" (28K is in excess) - that is, if A transfers to B a quantity in excess of X then A has to pay taxes on the quantity as if it were income (although sometimes A can pass the obligation to B). These laws are motivated by preventing tax evasion, and by detecting movements of money generated by illegal activities (e.g. selling drugs or playing poker online). Gamblers tend to think of taxes as avoidable rake; the government sees gambling as politically defendable revenue (like cigarette taxes). In the situation described by the OP, there was some exchange, rather than merely a transfer, but I suspect that convincing the IRS of this, is not so simple - put another way - if what one receives of equal value for the transfer is not in and of itself legal - then one has problems with the tax man.

There follows a quote from the IRS web site:
