  1. Some new poster on 2+2 named "brainwashdodo" posted some ridiculously incriminating evidence that Freddy Deeb was intimately involved in the UB superuser scandal, with Deeb making multiple large transfers to and from known superuser accounts. This brainwashdodo guy looks like he actually works/worked for UB at some point, as he has posted very specific deposit/withdrawal/transfer information that looks totally legit.

    wade through all the annie duke shit that is on the first several pages in this thread to get to the juicy stuff:

    the juicy stuff starts on page 8

  2. cliff notes?
  3. I thought this at first too but it appears nothing is concrete at this point. Hopefully this employee is able to stay in contact with us and divulge more info.

    From the user "apefish" on 2p2 : " The one real "known" connection to -Fred- based on what is in this thread is Russ Hamilton since he reimburses -Fred- whenever -Fred- hands out money, including to Freddy Deeb, and Shaqtack (superuser).

    NLL made an assumption -Fred- must be Freddy Deeb and people appear to have started running with it. I think that's a mistake at this point.


    But for Cliff notes I would say:

    -UB "employee" posts last week saying a new press release is due out and that he's going to give us some juicy info after said press release has gone public.

    -Press release finally comes out stating they have found more super user names. (This in itself is incriminating)

    -Employee posts screen shots from what appears to be a legit UB administration page with withdraw/deposit/personal information.

    -Employee posts info showing Freddie Deeb has multiple accounts as well as transfer history showing at least one pro (Russ Hamilton) being directly linked to a known superuser account "Shaqtack"

    -kid55 is freddy deebs sn on UB. He was born in 1955 and uses 55 in his other user names and email as well. A lot of superuser names end in 55.

    *Probably more info but this is what I've gathered from skimming over the threads tonight.
  4. someone else's cliffsnotes from 2+2:

    "Basically a bunch of confirmed superusers are being shown to have transfers in very large amounts of $ to freddy deeb. Several of the superuser names had '55' in them, deebs screename also had '55' in it ("kid55") and his email as well. Deebs account was closed the day after one of the superuser acccounts, shaqatack, was closed after transfering him a large amount of money. Missing some info but thats right for the most part"

    coincidentally (?) Freddy Deeb was born in 1955 too.

  5. I'm now worried that P5's is involved in this scandal - yikes!
  6. interesting either way, false or not.
  7. hahaha oh wow this is just too much
     
  8. this is sick
     
  9. wow.

    read the lot and looked at the screenshots. seems slightly suspicious

    don't know why they're involving hellmuth later in the postings though he clearly has nothing to do with it.
     
  10. This stuff is ridiculous. True or not, all of what brainwashedodo posted would be REALLY hard to fabricate, and there would not be much point to it.

    Either way, I was as close to redepositing there as ever with the recent signings of Bax, Rizen, and PokerPro.

    No more. Fuck that site.
  11. There is no reason to ever play on UB or AP ever again....EVER - I've been screaming it for months while Annie talks about all the free money in overlays with their great schedule.......i wonder how they'll spin this......obviously Rizen made the right move ending any relationship he had with them - and maybe bax will follow - I just dont understand why anyone would let such a crooked site use their name to lend credibility such an operation thats been caught stealing millions.

    I wish pocket fives or some other site would write a front page article about this so that users less informed could grasp the enormous cheating that UB continues to allow from insiders.
  12. so sick.

    Hey Annie I know you are reading this, pretty shady company you "work" for eh?
  13. Its sad how shady all of this is. Looks like the guys at 2+2 are doing some great work as usual with the help of this new info from an "insider".

    Scary how involved Deeb seems to be in all of this.... Yet UB's investigations dont tell us fuck all about any of this.
  14. Pretty funny in hindsight how offended he was when people accused him of "going south" in that high stakes poker episode.

    I wonder if Shaundeeb will change his name now.
     
  15. BUT JCAMBY AND JOHNNYBAX ARE THE ILLEST

    OMG MY HEROES
     
  16. not only sick, but kinda irrefutable non-coincidental circumstances.
    definitely incriminating.

    i know mulitple account are prohibited, and i know wven if you created a new one, and don't use the old one, your funds can still be seized.

    it's not worth it. and i've always wanted to create a new user name on Pstars. ;[
  17. I WOULDNT TRUST MY GRANDMA WITH THE OWNER OF UB
  18. very interesting stuff. thanks for the heads up op. unfortunately, the original poster on 2+2 is mostly likely dead by now....so i doubt there will be any more updates from him (brainwashdodo)
     
  19. I have been considering opening a UB account for the past couple weeks, reading that entire 25 page 2+2 thread just now tipped the scales. NO MFing CHANCE I give them one dime!!!
     
  20. lol, man, i never play there, and they just randomly give me like 10-20 dollars because ive been gone for so long. i just go back and play roshambo against a random p5er and then never reopen the software. speaking of which, they just sent me ten as of this morning. UB, while your down there, lick my balls.
  21. To put it bluntly FUCK UB.

    anyone who deposits money there deserves to have it stolen.

    and while I'm at it Fuck anyone inviting people to get their money stolen on their site..
  22. UB's only shot now.

    CLOSE UB.

    RE-DO Software.

    Charge everyone involved.

    Grand Re-opening.
  23.  

    There is no way he won 1.4 million in the UB 25-50 games. It stands to reason the superusers cheated then funneled the money to Kid55 (and others) to cashout. Management approved the cashouts even though Kid55 didn't win all the money playing live. The big earlier deposits happened before the cheating started or maybe Kid55 was an early investor (odd way to send investment capital but makes sense if he wants to make it look like it was to play poker for tax reasons). There are a lot of plausible explanations for the big early deposits.

    That to me provided with what brainwashed showed, is so suspicious.

    He cashes out 1.4 mill way more than originally deposited.

    It's pretty obv that it was an account to launder and withdrawl the money from whoever was using the "superuser" acct.
    If kid55 was freddy deebs acct. than it has to be explained why his acct. was involved with a known and stated per UB statement that he had dealt with transfering funds to/from a superuser?

    Maybe his acct. was hijacked? but you can't legitimately hijack an acct. and cashout to that person's bank acct. without them knowing or being involved.

    so kid55 is freddy deeb and that's fact.

    Saw.
  24. Freddy Deed can barely speak English I very much doubt he has anything to do with computers let alone UB.

    I could be way off but he just seems like a guy that would have nothing to do with online poker.
  25. dtools, lol, he played online poker under the handle kid55, he also was said to have worked with UB.

    my previous statement is wrong i guess, as i read on into the thread, that from the current evidence kid55 never transfered money from a or to a super user acct. but did transfer to a -freddy- who had transfered 10k to shaqtach who was pinned as a superuser acct.

    the only thing at the moment that is suspicious to freddy deeb is the time in which his acct. and a super user acct. were closed, and his transaction with -freddy-.

    all of this is interesting.
  26. Yeah ik, I was just trying to be funny. I don't think this is legit regardless though. If it is the man is just flat out pathetic.
  27. Whatever happened to the supposed extra refunds UB was going to send at the end of June?

    Deeb did not play that much high stakes on Ultimate Bet when I began playing high stakes there in January 2006. I can remember kid55 sitting a few times in some six-handed games, but never heads up. Would it make sense that he played a few hands at high stakes to negotiate for him cashing out 1.4 million?

    Remember Deeb used to be one of the main UB pros. I specifically remember in the summer of 2006 at the WSOP ... the top pros on the UB banner were Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, Antonio Esfandiari and Freddy Deeb. Shortly after, Deeb was seemingly withdrawn from the team and not much was made of the deal. I don't think Deeb was a UB team member by the time Aruba rolled around in September 2006. I may be mistaken, but if not he was axed shortly thereafter.

    Keep in mind, why would UB suddenly dump Freddy Deeb? Here is a guy who plays all of the major events, has had a lot of success, multiple final and TV tables and has done well in the 50k HORSE events. UB has been very quiet with the hirings/firings of such pros. Some recent releases that come to mind include Devon TranquilChaos Porter (another fine tournament player) and James KrazyKanuck Worth (who hasn't enjoyed as much success).

    Perhaps, as someone mentioned earlier, Deeb was an investor and decided to get out of his share of UB? Or perhaps UB let him go to void the situation as soon as possible? I think the men with the answers are Phil Hellmuth and Russ Hamilton, but we will probably never know.
     
  28. IMO this employee did this all wrong, all fkn wrong, he tried to do the right thing and no one has heard from him since is he ok>>???

    there has been zero contact since that post, I think everyone should be worried for this guy, IMO he is 6 feet under right now if he got caught by these fkers.

    lol.... You watch too many movies.
  30. I may just yes...... everyone over there is also worried thewy have not spoken to this guy who can fully blow this open with all the real info on paper and cause a backlash like they are trying to cover up, If this is so fkn bad depthwise in the company I am sorry but the mob does shit like this all the time.

    I hope this guy is smarter than it seems and he downloaded all thbis info to a disk and is now in witness protection :)
