Not you. I just posted I believe you. I was agreeing with your post about Dumbjoy. Did you see his last post? Since he has 6000 posts on here everyone must have mad respect for him and we should all know who he is lolol. What a joke. Oh man every time he enters a thread this stuff happens. I think it's time I put him on ignore. He is an annoying little turd.

At that point I would be calling it even and would agree to not sue for slander if they dropped the matter completely. I believe that is what happened with Marc Klang and that group of scumbags running the black jack game. That is probably what will happen here.
All I know is if you borrowed money from me and didn't pay me back on agreed or said date...and I gave you a il more time..I would slam your A$$ all over the internet and anywhere I could.

I apologize, my bad. Ya he's a real expert on everything. That's weird to me, thinking you're an expert on something cause you live on a message board. But again, what do I know, I've barely posted here 🤔

Lol at his last post on here, he's done unless you DM him haha!! He's the one that came into this thread to basically call you a liar and argue with you but the King now says he's done!!

Such a tool.

That's the problem with this community, they focus on easy target small fish like Borovetz while letting scamming whales like Chino Rheem and Maurice Hawkins and so many others continue to get away with it.

You lost all credibility when you defended Polk but acted like you lost your life savings when you never even gave Borovetz a dime. Then you tried to welch on a $10 bet in another thread and only after getting called out by numerous people did you pay. You're a joke.
U still mad, bro ? Why, what's it to you ? (Fwiw, Mike had a gambling compulsion, which led him to scam random folks in airports for a stake to go play pai gow. He actually had tournament poker skills, but could not stop there. I found this out by posting my experience on 2+2, to warn other folks and get info. Why does that long ago use of NVG still get you so riled up, bro ?)

(Not sure where you would claim I defended Doug re promoting Coinflex, years later btw, I do recall posting about Hellmuth promoting some obvious cryptocrap called Decent.bet.)

And if anyone wants to come after me cause of what I do, I'm wide open about who I am and where I live. I don't have kids or family or any of that. Like I said I'm old and now devote a large chunk of my life to chasing scammers and also dealing with animal abusers, again non violently. I don't discuss my methods on here ever, only with clients. Anyways blah blah, all I wanna do for the rest of my days is make wrongs right
The Equalizer ? ... good for you, have at it.

ECB is banned, finally I would of put the over/under at 2 months, but definitely glad that this forum is rid of his toxicity, Jesus he was too much!!! I mean, I knew ignorance has no limits, but he even pushed that threshold, imagine!!! Anyways, (a thousand) sighs of relief

Sure he will be back in a week on a new account. He will be easy to spot just look for the poster with a IQ 30 points lower than the average on here and a Aug 2022 join date.

Marc Klang, Jaclyn Moscow and many many others enjoyed getting money back from my work. Listen to my podcast interviews with Chicago Joey and pFA Todd....but hey , what do I know I only have 15 posts on a board.
Curious how you plan on getting any money back from Serda? My knowledge from the situation is he lost it by leveraging btc and the money is long gone.

Yeah, I am also afraid he will not be able to resist the strong urge to come back ; unfortunately ECB is like a nasty virus : unaware of his toxicity/low hanging fruit ignorance, yet he uncontrollably spews nonsense nonstop, not realizing that others (that post much less) are EXPONENTIALLY more informed about the subject at hand than he will ever be. Like in this thread, which can be used as a perfect example, where some peeps grinded with Serda/were his very good friend/are much more in the know about the details of his scamming/gambling addictions, and yet ECB remained one of the most frequent posters while knowing zilch of the situation!!! Same with attacking the reputation of Dara O'Kearney in the Poker Bunny thread while having never met him or even having a clue who the fellow is!!!

To my understanding his crypto mining alleged backing investments, were mainly used to feed his underlined gambling addiction.

I mean, I hope I am wrong about Collecto and I did say that I was no longer going to chime in about the subject, but for the benefit of this thread : the RL incident (see posts above) when I meant it as an abbreviation to real life but he misunderstood it and tried to pretend he knew very well who the person the initials referred to was
Spoiler:
by all verifiable accounts, RL does not exist as a person
, was quite the red flag in itself. Combine that with the fact that he never reached out to me in DM
Spoiler:
even if he thinks I am full of shyt, a serious investigator would never neglect any potential source of info
and, to cap it off, he implied that Patrick is still working as a waiter
Spoiler:
which is no longer the case, by all accounts
. Again, for the sake of greater good, I hope I am the ignorant one (in this case) and that Collecto's knowledge goes beyond (the relatively little of) what I know of the details of Serda's scamming, but I doubt it...

A few days ago, there was a guy who was killed in a medium-sized city in a coastal state. The police identified him as "John Doe." They acted like there wasn't much they could do, so I took it upon myself to investigate his death, and I have single-handedly brought the murderer to justice. I won't explain my methods here or anywhere else, because all I care about is my friend John, with whom I went to college years ago. But John's parents are grateful, I can promise you that. They sent me a thank you note, a cash reward (I will not say how much) and a basket of baked treats (I will not reveal what kind) as a gesture of that gratitude. I would share the money and the baked goods with all of you, but out of respect for their privacy and to allow the entire Doe family grieve, I will not do that.

Spoiler:
Okay, I'm glad the RL moment wasn't lost on you... I started laughing when I saw that.

Although I guess it is quite possible that one of Collecto's clients has the initials RL. I hope a couple of other victims, like Logan Oliver Linton and especially tournament great Gabriela Teresa Franco Ortega can be made whole.

I mean, for sure : from the getgo, I thought he was more than 95% of the time full of it and only the likes of a dumb arse like ECB would fully buy into his story, but I never (completely) discard the little % of the time that my intuition might be wrong... Upon further investigation and contacting my buddy that got ripped off by Serda, the RL incident
Spoiler:
Collecto said that anyone involved in the Serda incident would know who RL is which is completely lololol
and whatnot, I think that that initial 5% of my intuition being off went down to below 1%... As far as Patrick and my (limited) relationship goes with him :
Spoiler:
I couldn't stand his presence/attitude/arrogance/our interactions at the tables when he won WPT Montreal and sure, part of it is being results-orientating and not making it to the FT while he binked it, but whatever
