Sorry about another post from this but I just got this email from Party Poker. Not bad to get an extra 10K from this....

<TT><TT>Dear Brent,

On Sunday February 12th, 2006 you participated in our $500k Guaranteed
$215 Buy-in Tournament.

After the tournament concluded, our investigations team conducted an
investigation into two of the accounts that had participated in the
tournament (ABlackCar and JJProdigy). After an in-depth investigation, the
investigations team; in conjunction with the poker manager, legal and
management, made a determination that, based on the evidence, the two
accounts had played in the $500k Tournament from the same IP address and
both from the same computer.

A decision was made to disqualify both accounts from the tournament and
redistribute the prize money accordingly. One of the accounts placed
1st in the tournament while the other placed 2,162nd (out of the money).
In addition, both accounts have been suspended and will no longer be
allowed to play at PartyPoker.com.

Each player that placed in the money has been moved up one spot,
including the player that had previously finished 401st (one spot out of the
money). Although there is no perfect way to rectify this situation, we
feel that this was the best way to redistribute the money.

Previously you had placed 4th in the tournament and won $41,300.
Moving you up to 3rd place, resulted in a new prize payout of $51,800, an
increase of $10,500.The additional money will be credited to your account
within the next week.

We appreciate the diligence with which our players help to keep our
tables safe and friendly.

If you have any further questions, comments or concerns, please contact
us at alerts@PartyPoker.com and we will be more than glad to assist
you.

Regards,
Investigations Team

Nicely done Party Poker.

GG JJ & Mantis

can anyone else confirm this or is this a joke?

Eh...

Can't wait for all the unknowns who couldnt even afford the buyin to respond with Good, Ha, LOL, and JJ gets what he deserves.

Awesome. This is a good day for online poker, and a very bad day for cheaters.

is this real?

All I can say is WOW! 140K gone, I dont know what I would do.......Cheating or not, that has got to hurt real bad.

What does being able to afford buy-in have to do with being entitled to have an opinion? What he did was wrong. End of story. He might be a terrific person who had a lapse in judgement. But that being said, what happened was unfair to all other participants.

I'm not sure they can really get the money back unless JJ was dumb enough to just leave it on Party. I guess they could close down his account and take whatever he still has in it, but I somehow doubt this is going to cost him 140k

If this is true, all I have to say is, wow.

excellent. congrats. 10k is nice, especially a week after the tourney.

edit: haha the Cops theme...

WAAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE I coulda sworeeee Jj said it was a laptop and a computer...and he "took over" his grannys game,...but the letter CLEARLY says "same IP" address...hmmmmmm

GG fkn cheater

you dont win enough that NOW you need to play double in same multis,...or is it that you always have played double...

also kinda makes you think that if he cheated in that 1 multi...hmmm did He really play and win the TLB race in august all by himself????

Things that make you go hmmmm

Also, this site should not give known cheaters the honor of a ranking

ya i just heard from my friend who placed on the bubble of a stepping stone to more $$ that they emailed him and he is getting like a couple hundred more

so this is true

JJ got PUNKED by party lol

are you fucking serious? tell me your not. how are you gonna come down on the guy who came in 4th, 3rd now, for playing a awesome tourney ON HIS OWN? he deserves the extra 10k and JJ eserves a steel toed boot up his ass.
