For rather large amounts of money - Neil Strike:

I just get a profile of someone called Willie Elliott?

Sad news indeed. I was on FB last night talking to a few regs from next door who had lent him money and thought they knew him very well. I was asked by the man but didn't/couldn't/wouldn't so I was not involved, but to me it's an astounding amount of money.

I will leave it at that, a few friends posted on their FB timelines to deter further lending. I'm not going to comment as it didn't affect me. But I hope maybe stupidly  that those involved get something back.

Letting someone handle money that has a history of stealing and grimming has got to be the cardinal sin.

Yeah this.

TBH any involvement of a financial/gambling/staking nature after the first offence should be a no no. Always tilts me how many times otherwise good players scam people and everyone starts coming up with 'let them play their way out of it' solutions.

These grimming threads always read exactly the same when you are looking at it as an outsider, I'm amazed so many experienced folks fall for it (myself included in the past of course).

Dave's a seriously nice bloke, and not many sharper guys in gambling either.

The worst thing to come out of this (and similar situations) for me is that at some point someone who really deserves the help of a nice guy probably isn't going to get it.

Remind me who "Dave" is please David?

It's me obviously, I just posted before him.

Or possibly Dave Maudlin, who is the chap spilling the beans in the FB link.

Ahh, gotcha, thanks. I don't have Facebook.

Dave Crater, right?

Thanks Doobs.

Was up to speed on the whole story except that Dave Maudlin got caught or was the one who outed him.

A nasty do.

Sure he will take him to court like he did CC and get the dough back.  DM isn't a mug.  If he can't then he will just suck it up.  I feel much more for the less well rolled guys who got sucked into it and have done a much bigger % of their rolls.  Little Dave is right though that it just makes it harder for real guys to get staked or borrow who are good for it from the legends of the gambling world that are happy to give them a spin.  People who lend/stake know this is an occupational hazard of it but it is built into their business models.  You never hear about the 99% of the time they get their 'juice' with no hassle. Was it just me or did the guy's mug shot look a bit like Blatch?
