Interview wtih london pro Michael Piper (Wazz)

[mondatoo]

Just as Greeky says, its all starting to look very familiar. I watched Dalleroxxus interview before I saw the thread and even then I saw a few warning signs, ie. he had a very cavalier attitude to bankroll management.

I don't know the guy, but the fact he was a respected 7000+ post mod on 2+2 reaffirms why I am never going to buy a % in someone again, you just cant trust people. In this instance it seems more a case of once he got the money and realised he had sold such a big % away he didnt want to part it, rather than a premeditated grim (still no excuse though). He probably had the best intentions in the world but money does that to people, the worse thing that can happen to some people is they get rich.

Did you notice the bit where he has listed the payouts,the guy who is due 91k at the end of his he put FML,thought that was a bit strange and he still hasn't been paid.It's getting a bit ridic the amount of grimmings/cheating that is popping up all over the place.

Wow, just wow at that thread on 2+2.

I hadn't read it since the massage episode which was lol ridic.

But the latest turn events is just stomach wrenching. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the remaining investors got stiffed.

When I went deep in the wsop Harrahs fcked up my wire transfer and it took a couple of weeks to sort out.

Similarly if you pay foreign cheques into a uk bank acct it often takes up to a month for them to put cash in your acct.

But to take over 4 months to pay out investors is so shady and the excuses are getting out of hand.

Well done Tommo getting paid, did you have inside info there might be trouble?

I had a tip off, I mean it was nothing solid and certainly nothing I would risk posting as it could ruin an innocent persons reputation, however, it meant I was concerned enough to chase up the money.

[lucky_scrote]

I dunno why he hasn't paid up yet. I'm not going to read the thread on 2+2.

I stayed with him in Vegas and he didn't seem the type to scam, I mean, he was quite generous with his money.

It is weird he hasn't paid his backers yet, I think it's because he's so lazy that he can't be bothered to send them the money.

[maryhadalamb]

generous with "his money" lol. It's not his money.

[DaveShoelace]

Blatch was generous with money too

Wtf, he won big, partied, and that led to a snowball of payment issues. He's made honest mistakes, nothing more.

Do you honestly think at this point Pipers post that he's "too tired" to answer the points made in the thread is acceptable?

He is simply taking the piss now.

How would you feel if this guy owed you 20 grand?

Lol Keith, sorry but with all respect, he can be tired right? If Mike owed me $20k, and I lived in the USA and I planned to come to London to play the WSOPE etc, i'd be fine with that, which is what seems to be the case here.

out of the $130k still to be paid out $90k is to one person, a good mate, who is clearly waiting to collect it in London, which is perfect for him wanting to come over to play the WSOPE etc..

removed from reality much?

Sometimes nice guys are c*nts too

Yes, of course he can be tired, but the post is symptomatic of the off hand and lackadaisical way he has treated the whole issue imo.

Don't get me wrong, he's handled it badly, if I were closer to him i'd be giving him a grilling, but also helping him to sort it out, all this talk of him ripping people off is way off the mark, he's lazy, a bit foolish, and clearly unskilled in international banking, other than that a great guy, and not a con man like blatch, in any way whatsoever.

If you had come this forum 6 months ago, I would say 99% of posters on Blonde would have described Blatch as a "great guy".

In no way am I saying Piper has scammed his investors, but this should have been sorted out months ago.

Dude I can understand if you said 10 days. It prob took me prob that long to pay people when I'd cashed in Ireland because of a combo of lazyness / trying to find good rate / being let down by someone who told me to hold the money for them for a swap but 4 months is an absolute ridic pisstake.

He paid most long before that, some within a week. The rest are waiting to take the money in London for the WSOPE etc, right?
