Though when he is involved in a second instance I think it is naive to completely rule him out or at the very least not question his involvement. Where there is smoke, there is almost always fire and he has had smoke coming off of him twice now.
Also people usually surround themselves and hangout with people who they see as like themselves. Druggies typically hang out with druggies, poker players hang with other poker players, and scammers hang out with other scammers. So if JM, is friends with these type of people what does it say about his character?
He wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time with Girah, and he doesn't get a pass.
He was clearly working with Haseeb Qureshi in the puppetry behind Girah, and somehow skated free of blame from the community at large. I guess it's because Jungleman was a better-liked guy than Qureshi (who was also guilty as sin), so it was easier to throw Qureshi under the bus alone.
You know... kind of like how Russ Hamilton was assigned all of the blame for the UB scandal, while guys like Greg Pierson skated away with minimal damage to their reps.
It's possible that Jungleman had nothing to do with this, but it seems he is too closely involved with too many "coincidences" that involve scamming and cheating.
The fact that Tyler was "introduced" to him, seemingly out of nowhere, makes it suspicious. To me it looks very possible that Tyler and Jungleman came up with a way to scam several high stakes pros, and this was a setup from the start.
