Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6352768, member: 407846"] I believe the most obvious answer is psychopathic greed. Yes, all the players mentioned are brilliant but apparently that is not enough and Matt Berkey also went off on a riff about that type existing in the poker world that if you are not cheating you are not maximizing your edge. If you visit various forums it is amazing what is emerging. Bryn Kenney for example getting thrown out of one of Magic The Gathering's most prestigious youth championships as a thirteen year old for marking cards. When you then hear what Kenney had done to court Lauren Roberts and then fleece her (the Sharkscope data is now out there and irrefutable) the only conclusion is not much different to a serial con-man. Further, regarding individuals such as Cary Katz (who obviously has now been publicly exposed as Bryn Kenney's backer) I have long expressed my doubts about his character and his companies involvement in the poker world as PokerGo came to dominate the poker media landscape from behind a paywall. That hold appears to be crumbling to a degree but I do not know why entities such as the WSOP partnered with him. Katz and his family made a fortune through student loans, a predatory business practice which in my opinion should have never existed. To find out he has been Kenney's financial backer for years proved to me he is a dubious character. However, how many knew of Kenney's, Imsirivic and Schindler's reputation for years and simply shrugged their shoulders and allowed it to continue in one form or another. Regarding multi-accounting, it is getting more and more difficult to pull off. In part due to measures put in place by the UK government newer sign ups to the likes of poker sites now have to produce not just valid IDs, passport etc., but also proof of residency via utility bills etc. Obviously, someone can use another identity to set up an account but then getting the site to pay out winnings gets increasing difficult. That said, as I pointed out above, no one seems to have touched on the idea that numerous parties must have been using VPNs through specific periods at GG Poker which they must have been well aware of. Further they would appear to have drastically underreported the millions that players were scammed out of, and are hazy regarding how the funds, and how much of the funds were redistributed back to players.
