He had about 580 friends yest cause I thought it would be interesting to see how rapidly this number declined as this came to light. I'd imagine he'll just delete his a/c pretty soon

wtf, why is everyone being so nice to him.

All i keep reading is "Neils a great guy", "Good Luck for the future".

Hes done in £80,000 of peoples money, money that some of the people couldnt afford to lose without breathing a word for 6 months. (i know it was a gamble but they couldve got out if they lost a certain % of their investment).

Sleeping in is no excuse, in this situation i wouldve set like 6 alarms minimum.

What an absolute bellend.

Just been out for the weekend and catching up on this now and totally agree way this post!

Such a scummy thing to do!

[ACE2M]

any word on him coming on to explain or any of the other stuff he said he would do?

blatch deleted me on facebook.

anyone still active on his facebook should comment something about the situation on there. he's obviously trying to hide it from some people.

He will only delete it from his wall.  Someone should setup a group and mail it to all and everyone

So many lessons to be learned here but the main one has to be when an expert (arbboy) starts giving rational reason why things are obviously not what they seem try listening instead of attacking him even though he knows probably more than the lot of you put together.

All hail Arbboy and for those who attacked him so vehemently it is hard to feel any sympathy for their losses when they attack the one guy who was really trying to help them.

For all the innocents caught up in this I have extreme sympathy but there are several on this thread who seemingly got exactly what they deserved!

blatch deleted me on facebook.

Me too.

The guy must be really cut up about what has happened to find the time to go through his facebook and delete all the people he has conned!!!!

Still havent seen my Pm from him yet apologizing for losing the WSOP stake i sent him and letting me know when i will be getting it back!!  Maybe its been lost in cyber space.

Has anyone actually seen him since he was rumbled or is there the distinct possibilty that he has actually left the country.
I am not owed a lot, but if i was in for 10k i would have sent someone to track him down and pay him a visit by now.........and not for a quiet little chat.

+1, I'm gone as well, ty Blatch

I would say there is a pretty good chance he will be disapearing to Thailand or some such place very soon.

Dude is the min still 500??? I want in!

lol how are u not in yet!?

errrrrr- well Blatch was waiting for 50k's worth of investment, then was going to say he lost it all on one game and grim the lot of ya but now he's changed his mind

God I really hope these guys are as white as people think,Blatch himself made several jokes of this nature.

Probably being paranoid and both seem like good guys but it was only a few days ago everyone was saying the same thing about Blatch.

These two lost more than most through Blatch.  Cos lost the same as me, and his Dad lost more.  Cos was suspect about things quite a few months ago, but unfortunately not enough of us did anything about it.

As for George, he must be devastated.  He wasn't involved in the football staking, but has lost a fair bit of money that he'd spent - and more than that, his closest friend in poker has been lying to him, for several years it now appears. 

Yeah was a little hasty of me I guess.

But struggle to believe he was that good a conamn that nobody knew anything and everybody thought he was a balla for like 3 years when it appears he never was.

Guess it's the effect an episode like this will have,everybody will be more suspicious about things from now on after a hit like this has been taken to the community.

(same reply for others who quoted)

[action man]

i wasnt an invstor, i did think the scheme wud make money but i thought blatch was an arrogant cocky shit, so didnt wanna invest.

Whn something is too good to b true it usually is.

might have to go on a bit of a diet before he can get a job as a ladyboy

good idea

Facebook group, then mass mail it to all his friends before he deletes his facebook??

[d.c.]

I'm gone too. He has deleted about 170 ppl from fbook.  A comment was made yesterday on there which he removed, and I also removed a comment I had posted over a week ago about an unrelated issue.

I guess he is trying to stop the information reaching his non poker related friends, Neil if you're reading this and I am sure you are - mate you have bigger issues to sort out.
