    I honestly don't find it that shocking. I mean theres people out there that really have zero morals. I mean this seems a lot easier and less risky then robbing a bank.
    Obv feel bad for the guy it happened to cuz he had no way of knowing but im not shocked people are going to these lengths.

    A lot of money out there to cheat people out of.

    I would love to install hidden cameras on some of these clowns that have 40 games logged on a site, and register for a FTOPS and take it down, get a 150% roi then stop playing on that name, just sayin... So many people cheat online, whether it's ghosting, multi accounts, etc. I am a true believer in Karma, and the scum in OP link will pay the price one day, what goes around almost definitely comes around with piece of crap scum.

    Such little information on an attention-grabbing story. WTG "Marcus" whoever that is that wrote it.

    I remember reading on here someone saying this could happen. With all the hacking threads someone asked could criminals break in, install cameras so that they could watch someone with a 7 figure bankroll play and scam them

    Also, Karma? lol

    This. Can't believe they ran that story with such little to go with. Way to dig into the story, Marcus.

    breaking into someone house installing cameras seems like they made a huge effort and deserve the pay off form their hard work. i dont see the difference from what these people did and someone that hires a coach, studies poker, goes over their HHs in order to get an edge vs the competition. Well played IMO...

    Also, everyone knows you're supposed to move to another room to play after losing 100 buyins to someone.... See, there's always a counter-strategy.

    Ok so this person would have to know who he was being cheated by right? Sure there would be some more out there about this since the person would have to be arrested for it.

    Names, pics, reports, or it didn't happen!
