Druff did a great job on the video, kind of funny at the beginning when Chops says "a story we believe and quite frankly know is very accurate"; except their "story" has a lot of easily poked holes like the date the cheating actually started.

Anyway, if you follow this investigation, you know the name brainwashdodo. I am working on a book project about the scandals and believe I was recently contacted by this individual. My blog posting about it is here.

Welcome, ElevenGrover.

Glad to have you on this site. You've posted a lot of great insider stuff regarding UB on 2+2.

I invite you to freely express whatever you want to reveal over here. We'll even front page the big stories.

Here is my appearance.

Fast forward to 33:30 if it doesn't automatically go there.

Pretty good appearance, Druff. The one thing I would argue is that the percentage of players who have received proper hand histories is not 90%; it is 0%. I have seen several batches of hand histories that have been sent to cheated players, but I have yet to see any that weren't chopped-up, pre-selected segments of play designed to show only those accounts that were already publicly acknowledged as being used in the cheating.

Meaning, if there are indeed other accounts out there (as you and I both believe), the hand histories were extracted in such as a way as to ensure no one would ever be able to find them. This falls under the general definition of "shuck".

I think in your conjecturin blogs you were getting into where a possible problem lies. When you think how laughable Catania giving the ruling from the commision is given allegations of his past associations, you have to give pause. Everything they released was already known, and from those who were sloppy. You have to think about the times after tracking became more prevalent, and those who may have not been sloppy.

I think the Russ Hamilton part of the story is likely what it appears, him and a bunch of old poker pros/ friends simply stealing. When you get into the nuts and bolts of those located in Costa Rica and AP, if they stole, and what they did with the money, then you're dealing with a different set of issues. Place is rife with old bookmakers, etc. who have the channels to make that money grow. Even the way sites are currently processing check-outs, Florida processors who are 1 man operations, those are pipelines usually associated with moving money from other activities.

My screen name is simply a quirk, I have no knowledge about the workings there other than from those I've spoken to, but logic dictates it might be a bigger can of worms than simply poker.

Enjoying posts from all the internet sleuths.

That's not a bad post. Russ stole, yes, but the WCP story has it wrong, and I believe it's because they were fed a coordinated coverup by several people trying to cover their own asses while still shielding/protecting the second major thief on the UB side. Why this is so is where it leads into some of those greater and darker things.

One thing that's never been explained is motive, other than, "Oh, Russ is a con man, he's just greedy for more." Problem is, Russ has been a sportsbook sharp for decades, and that's been a net gainer for him, not a loser. No, there had to be something else going on, and there was.

I've finally uncovered the motivation for what I believe to be the second principal cheater, including some damning links and evidence, but I need to double-check a few things for accuracy and try to firm up things a bit more. If it pans out, then the whole cheating thing should finally make sense, and then it'll be time to fill in the rest of the pieces and move on to the coverup.

I'm not trying to tease. I'm trying to explain that this is mega-serious stuff and I want to make sure I get it right on the first try, because there's hell to pay if I don't.
