What would you like to know?

As a result of this thread and some people emailing his work he got fired and ran away from Guernsey to go and live in Cardiff.

He managed to somehow get a stake with a big staking stable and went on a heater for a few months, degenning it up on HU PLO up to $10/$20. (You can view some of his obnoxious bragging threads on the FlppingSheen 2p2 account which he created about 2 weeks after this one got banned.)

He moved back to Guernsey in the last month or so, inveitably went busto and started to scam his staking stable by getting people to play HU vs him while he was watching on teamviewer.

Incidently, he wasn't very good at this. I saw one HH where he shoves $200 into a $34 pot on the turn because he had top 2 pair vs 2nd 2 pair. (Nice work Josh, way to make it not look obvious)

Luckily most of the funds he stole this way were detected and merge closed all his accounts before he could withdraw and his staking stable found out and subsequently cut all ties.

He is now busto again but as he said to me this week "he can always get money, legally or illegally". So I expect him to be back scamming as soon as he can convince someone to give him a stake. He has plenty of faked and stolen graphs so it shouldn't be too hard.

Some great quotes I've found out he has told people recently:

-He had 200k online
-He is a 25/50 HU PLO reg specialist
-He has had 2 years Brazilian Ju Jitsu training

Along with infinite other ridiculous lies I'm sure.

The guy is a textbook sociopath, I'd lay a pretty decent amount of money that in the next 3 years he either a) suicides b) someone he scammed does it for him c) he tries to scam someone irl, leaves an inevitably huge paper trail, and gets locked up as a result.

Karma, one time!

wow great info. always knew flippingsheen was a douche, did not know it was THIS douche. JLM is obviously a pathological liar and has an obsession with scamming, with the only signs of remorse coming from trying to cover his ass. DO NOT STAKE OR MAKE ANY BUSINESS WITH JOSHUA LE MARCHANT, HE WILL SCAM YOU.

I'm rooting for b-a-c in that order, although no doubt c would lead to a or b

It just seems like so many people are capable of doing something ******ed like trying to scam (young kids often have under-developed morals, obviously) and it can be all over for them when I believe most people deserve another chance since even the nicest people can make really bad mistakes.

Oh well, scammers gon' scam. Josh has had like 5+ chances now lol, will keep an eye on this thread
im pretty sure if he said sorry and paid people back threads like this would fizzle out and would cause no trouble at all. it's because of a community like 2+2 he doesn't get away with it all the time. he ruined it for himself, no one else did

That's it?! So no one has bashed his face in yet?! What a shame, scams people out of 10s of thousands of dollars and his only punishment is losing his job and having a slandered name on google.

Haha on his facebook I have a mutual friend with what appears to be his girlfriend haha.

I tagged one of her pictures of him as "scammers gonna scam". Hopefully this will lead to a revelation.

many times

They have checked the accounts and closed most of them.

The standard response is that they prefer to respond to the victim and not interested 3rd parties.

Bump

I'm going to the police here in London later this week with a view to getting charges made against Josh. He applied to us for a stake under the name James Farmer last week, and it appears he is still doing his best to scam people out of $.

I've been informed it should be pretty easy to get charges brought against him for false representation at the very least, which has pretty serious implications for him. However, I would like to compile as much evidence as I can on the guy for previous scams, so that I can hand an absolute bundle to the police here. If anyone has anything they feel would be useful please PM me.

Thanks
