Read the first para and decided I wasn"t gonna be able to make head nor tail of it and gave up.

What"s the gist?

haven"t read thread but was told about this

v brief cliffs (apologies for inaccuracies)

online pro gains trust of high stakes pro community
said pro trains/sweats a few high stakes wanabees
said pro then suggest they play this "eurotard" while he sweats the session
"eurotard" keeps winning...wanabees lose $1000s
said pro was sat next to (or was) the "eurotard" whilst looking at high stakes wanabees cards
people found out
he owned up and is paying everyone back + some

well that was the last I heard

anyone any more???

Think they are still looking into the involvement of Haseeb Quereshi and Daniel Cates and their participation (if any) in the scam, Bluff supposedly putting an interview with Quereshi up shortly, wasnt the portuguese "prodigy" on  the cover of either poker player or WPT magazine recently?

Haseeb Quereshi been sacked from card runners because of his involvment....

Personally dont hink Jungleman was involved, he has so much money that he won elsewhere (although 6 million stuck on FTP), no point in him cheating.

i"d be a bit dubious until it all comes out, after all JM did post back in January

I met Jose when he was a burgeoning high stakes player and I saw a lot of potential in him. The kid works harder at studying poker than almost anyone I know. I took him under my wing, and I"m gonna make him into a beast... watch out for him

Hilarious stuff on 2+2 (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/official-haseeb-jose-jm-photoshop-thread-1081914/) though tbh it is quite cruel considering some parties are prematurely presumed to be guilty.

Particularly like this one..........
