doubt many of the posters on here will know of aces poker

would like to hear?

It's quite a long story, Lee, & quite an astonishing one, too. To be fair, you need to know the individuals involved for it to have full impact. Some are still around, & several "victims" are current members of blonde.

I'm sure Camel will deliver more succinct cliffs than I ever could. He used to Blog about it a fair bit, back in around 2004, 5 & 6 I seem to recall.

To this day, every time I see a certain gentleman from the Continent, he asks me if I know the whereabouts of those involved. Apparently, he wants to have a word. 

It's an astonishing story with victims strewn all around and a mysterious continental villain seeking retribution. But that's for another thread

How does bankruptcy work in this country, if Zimbler won the next tourney he played and shipped £100k, would he have to hand some of it over to Feldman or does he get to keep the lot?

Surely it will just go anon and on and on.

To be fair, Alun, I can barely believe that there are folks immersed in the poker world who do NOT know the story, or at least the bare bones of it.

Kinda agree with camel itt.

So DTD employed a bankrupt welcher who's opinions are mocked to present their showcase stream to the poker community. Doesn't seem like a great choice. Personally I would go with Keith Chegwin because he has a recognisable voice and would be cheap.

And probably do it naked?

Joking aside, I agree! Many people become bankrupt through unfortunate circumstances that they have no control over, decent guys who worked hard all their lives. That's the harsh reality of the current climate. Those people deserve all the help they can get back on their feet!

But to hire the services for live streaming of a poker player who has been judged to have conned another poker player lacks any positives for me when he has not even apologised! Everyone makes mistakes, be a man and apologise at least!

2 guys invited investment into building an online poker platform waaaay ahead of the boom.  "Aces Poker"  Lots of people threw money at it.  At least 1 of the 2 guys were seen playing table games heavily and lording it up.  No platform got built.  Not sure on refunds, estimated to be 0c on the $.

That's the cliffs, pretty sure the full version is worth a read, when someone gets round to writing it.

It was a major story

I was playing at Luton soon after with a guy with the same name as one of the Aces Poker principals

In the car park with him, coincidentally having been knocked out, I was told to make myself scarce when he was confronted by a number of heavies who'd heard that xyz was playing this festival comp and had been sent to knock seven shades of...out of him

xyz of the same name talked his way out of it

the whole episode caused immense bad feeling, that lingers to this day, although the actual xyz has made occasional comebacks in cardrooms in 2009-10, not seen him since though

Pretty much identical to what Wayne Lineker has allegedly just done with his new 'waynesworld' / 'shuffling' website that was going to rival Facebook. Took 1m investment, paid 700k for skeleton website, 3 years later it fails, Lineker bankrupt, yet just opened ocean club Ibiza which he purchased (under Sons name) for approx 700k!
