I think we as a internet community need to solve this problem for the OP and the family he inadvertantly traumatized in France.

After speaking tot he OP he asked me to him some money that he would add towards a fund he created to help repay Alex. He says any amount is okay; from mere pennies to hundreds of dollars. I transfered him $50 on his Stars accnt which he says he will then transfer this fund. I say we as a community gather around one of our fallen brethren and send him lots of money to help poor Alex. The OP is obviously young and inexperienced. Together we can help teach this kid a lesson in morality.

PM the OP for his stars SN. The OP also told me we can send the money straight to him by mail if the stars transfer is not agreeable.
haha has to be the funniest thing i have read in a while

Exactly, even if the story was true (its not) you would have to assume that a story that crazy was not going to hold up with most the members. Posting the story on a forum means you were looking for attention and responses.

What result did you expect to come from this?

I believe op's story , i do not think this was a reverse scam , (lol someone gives you tons of cash and flies you to france to live with them then somehow hypnotizes you to lose your keys then also is betting the entire scam on your good nature to pay you back your said lost money.. come on that is so fkn far fetched its unbelievable) .
BC...with all respect, I'd more likely to believe someone being robbed at gunpoint than the OP's story any day of the week. There's too many holes in his story for it to be exactly true the way he posted it.

I stick by what I said earlier...there may some parts that are true, but the 30K part and how it disappeared is very fishy.

PS...whether he posted it himself or talked to another poster and had them post the part about donating money to his fund to "payback"...he's still asking for money!

all of your so called contradictions JBS are simply unanswered questions that OP didnt have time or see the reason to go into detail.

except the for the homeless issue, that was an exaggeration of 1 day, that is hardly a reason to believe its fake.

and BloodChoke, you arent understanding how the scam worked, ill refer you to my previous post in the middle of this thread:

the main scam was to get the 10k across, the secondary scam wasnt quite as clear, he prolly hoped OP could make money playing poker while he figured out the best way to scam more money out of him.
NLL...now you're showing how obvious a scam this is. He went into detail about how many days he went "looking for work". If he states "on the first day" and then "on the 5th day"...how is that an exaggeration of 1 day?

LOL...you're unreal

ImThaGrandMaster, once again:

- In which casino in Nice you played?
- Why you didn't won? Swongs? Games to hard?

Again NLL...your continued support of this shows how delusional you are.

OP....I love how you keep dancing in and out of here trying to plug the holes on a sinking ship known as your completely whacked "true" story. Wasted on drugs and booze, yet you're able to recall the exact details of the confrontation?

LOL...then you want to no longer answer questions? LOL LOL

Sounds like someone's lost their bet at getting over on BBV

JBS, all i have done is argue with you about your ridiculous posts. you havent found a single hole in his story except he should have said on the 4th day, instead he said on the 5th day.

OP, good to hear you talked to Alex, i bet he will forgive the debt when you pay back the first 3-5k. since i have spent time giving you advice and i actually believe you, can you answer this one question.

i only see one hole in your story, and im guessing you can explain. how come poker intel shows that you have only played one session since april on UB?

How do you know what he should have said? Please....obviously I'm in the majority opinion pool. So I really don't care about your opinion any further.

And I'd say you look almost as bad as OP at this point.

wow you are dense, because we counted the days. when he said it was the 5th day of his homelessness, he should have said it was the 4th day.

sorry i didnt read thru all the threads at all before i posted.. i guess i believed op because of my own personal story that everyone shot down on bbv, when it was true. i agree there are holes in the story.. lots of it doesnt make sense.. but not everything in life makes sense.

i guess the biggest thing that doesnt make sense to me, is why would this guy Alex think that you stole his money .. when you're in a foreign country, and you're staying at his place? you wouldnt have anywhere to put it.. unless u rushed to the bank and deposited it.. i dunno after thinking about it, theres a lot that doesnt add up.

however the reverse scam thing is just crazy. it is either true to a degree, or it isnt true at all. theres no way it was a reverse scam.

Alex said that there was a possibility that I may have a) wired the money to my US Bank Account, b) opened up an international bank account and deposited the money, c) met someone at the casino, made friends with them, trusted them with the 30k and made some sort of deal, so I could go back for it later d) stashed the 30k randomly e) lost the 30k playing roulette or blackjack at the casino (they dont run high enough stakes at the poker tables). f) stole the money because the world series was coming up (lol) so that I could play in various events

Right now, he's in the process of requesting tapes from both of the major casinos in nice (ruhl and spectacle? i think). I told him good luck with that, hes wasting his time, and i obviously wasnt at the casino the night of the robbery (considering that i didnt have my 300 euros to play with).

He also said that he is unable to rule out the possibility that I went to a casino outside of Nice and lost the money. Basically, theres no way for him to ever prove that I did or did not steal the money and all that he has is my word to go by, which at this point doesnt mean a whole lot
