Give me a break man...how gullible are the people on here.

impossible is nothing

As-tu appris à parler français là bas ?

That's a terrific story. It's the stuff of "based on a" movies. If you could write the full story and possibly the script you'd make some money. Who knows, if you get lucky with a production company and get a movie going you might even get recognition at the Cannes film festival.

There are a lot of plot holes in the story, however. The quick-trusting backer, the sudden move to France with no explanation, the convenience in not having the door keys while simultaneously having $30k sitting around for robbers to walk in and steal.

Another point that may need some fixing is the main character. He's not very believable; not many poker players would be able to relate to that. You could make him some prodigal card genius ala Stu Ungar, but then you're just ripping off a real-life story for some fiction.

Good luck with the script.

GG sir!

I just read this entire thread. ISSCKM.

I'm only like 80-90% sure the story's fake, but for some reason I've come to seriously hate NLL. He's in there like every 3 posts with some indignant defense of the OP or some wild & crazy story about what might be happening. I honestly think that even with different IPs, there's a good chance that OP is NLL's gimmick account.

(Isn't there a way to mask your IP and make it look like it's coming from a different location? I'm not knowledgeable enough on computers to know how to do that, but I'm pretty sure that there are Americans that do that to play on Party/other sites that are closed to Americans. I've even heard of people doing that when they get IP banned from a forum.)

Also, if the story has any truth to it at all, I'd say that OP did steal the entire 30K, went out to celebrate his good fortune, and then got drunk and gambled it away or managed to lose it in some other fashion, at which point he either returned home because he was now broke again, or else just went home while he was blacked out, because he temporarily forgot that he'd stolen the money.

Yes it is possible to mask youip

Are we supposed to believe that all of the new accounts vouching for him stumbled upon the thread by chance, or that the OP convinced them to sign up at 2+2 to defend him?



Either way, i shipped him $500 on stars to help him get on his feet. Gl with everything dude!

It would actually be the dumbest movie of all time.

Dude, I am late to the party as always.
I prefer to think that this is some sort of ****** level. I'm 80% sure it is a level though.
If not, well here goes the best advice I have for you , and your not gonna like it.


You are a ****in' idiot.


You get a once in a lifetime shot, and waste it "because I came home drunk LOL" and " I wuz hungree OMG" WTF man

Change your ****ing ways and stop not-thinking before you act, or you'll find your way to some sort of jail sooner or later

[x] Alex invites busto teenager to live with him in Europe so he can back him in 2/5NL live, which is a true goldmine that will make Alex rich.
[x] Alex pays for busto teenager's plane ticket and entrusts him to carry 10,000 eurodollars through customs.
[x] Alex leaves to Italy entrusting OP with his apartment (no key) w/ 30k eurodollars in it.
[x] Banks are for suckers.
[x] OP is from Michigan but speaks french fluently and has a resume on hand to print out at internet cafes.
[x] Two SN's with small post counts come on and say "I can vouch for him I know this kid, and I know Alex" w/ an obligatory second paragraph that makes it appear they're talking to OP, identifying themselves by where they met or how they wear their hat... not by name, despite being facebook friends w/ them.

[x] True Story
[x] Irrelevant whether it's true, but still fun detective game.
[x] Sent $150 to OP to get him back on his feet and on his way to paying back Alex.

- And the cat tears its way out of the bag.

Sh! He doesn't know that.

I vote scam for sure...

[x] OP succeeds in scamming incompetent bbver's

LOL, bring out the hate. You figured it out, I actually started this account just for this great day. You have all been leveled by me, owned.

Seriously though, I never defended the OP, i simply argued with JBS about his ridiculous claims and taught him how to do simple math. (and played detective along with him) big deal.

i could list 15 reasons to why i lean more towards 'the story is real' but instead lets just agree we dont know for sure and then you can go back to concentrating on hating me, lol.

You and JBS would get along well together, similar personalities. if you hate me, then you must hate a lot of people. i feel bad for you, hating others is unhealthy. JBS annoys the **** out of me, but i dont hate him, i just accept that he is a troll, lol.

fellow 2p2ers your generosity has shown me the way, i just transferred OP $4k on stars (the amount he lost at the tables while being staked by alex) OP promised me he would transfer it on to alex.

Instead of this whole prolonged real/fake argument, the OP needs to challenge JBS and other doubters to put up money on this story being fake. Of course he'd only do it if it's real (it should be simple to prove), so it's easy money for him or JBS and others have to shut up.

I just sent the full amount, end thread kthx

I know that this statement is just a subjective opinion, but still...

It is always possible that there is no way to prove that a given story is false. The burden of proof for the validity of very unusual situations lies on the one who is making the claim. Given a lack of any reasonable method of proving a story invalid, all that the audience can do is analyze the details, as presented, and point out inconsistencies and unlikely details within the story.



[ ] ok
The one who is making the claim, if he or she wishes to be believed, should provide proof of the validity of the various details of the event. Lacking any reasonable way to provide such proof, he or she should adequately explain the circumstances that led to the unlikely events and provide a very good explanation for inconsistencies in the claim. Even if the one who is making the claim does do this, there will be no way to prove that the event happened, of course. The audience must make a judgment based on whatever pertinent variables contribute to the situation.

That being said, OP has repeatedly expressed an aversion to provide adequate explanations for both the inconsistencies and unlikely details that the audience has brought up. OP has expressed frustration with the audience for bringing up these problems, and has even berated some. OP has stated that he does not care if people believe him or not, and, again, OP has claimed that he will no longer be addressing such issues.

Interestingly, after OP made these statements (multiple times), OP continued to provide explanations for some of the unlikely and incomplete details of his story. OP has undeniably left some potent questions and comments unanswered and unexplained. OP has not explained his inconsistency on this matter, either.

Moreover, those who have repeatedly supported OP have been espousing analyses of the situation that appeal to emotion and contain obvious logical fallacies. An example of such an analysis: "OP has addressed every hole and inconsistency that you have brought up. What more do you want!?"

Also, the nature of OP's claim suggests that proof could be reasonably provided for many details of the claim (e.g. flight ticket, photos). Even proving a small number of important details would greatly enhance OP's credibility.

At this point, whether the story is true or not, OP has proven that he has terrible attention to details; throughout this, he has often adopted an arrogant, defensive tone towards many who have noticed this.

I hope that OP will, at least, gain some humility from this experience.

As for those who have strongly supported OP, I suggest either a quality course in logic or a serious reduction in the confidence of your assertions.

was davino hacked?

^^ srsly wtf davino, u gonna makes some heads asplode

[?] bbver's level succeeds

Either that or OP has a feel for movie cliches and thought that was the way to be homeless, rather than trying to find more intelligent ways to get some food and shelter lol.

Anyway nice read.

your name is earl?

level? you didn't really ship him money did you
