Some big breaking news regarding UB...

This is a x-post from 2p2.

OMG wow...

http://sandgate.co.clark.nv.us/servl...el=13819810002

The address is 1725 Glenview Dr.

138-19-810-002 HAMILTON RUSSELL & CAROLYN *20060523:03704 05/23/2006 JOINT TENANCY 200 SUBDIVIDED LOT

Okay people, the address on three of the accounts is owned by Russ and Carolyn Hamilton.

Any questions?

FWIW, this was the info given out by a UB whistleblower (not brainwash, as far as I know):

Customer ID: Token ID: Username: Status: Creation Date: Update Date: 227061 Sleeplesss Active 2003-09-16 16:33:01 2007-09-05 13:12:49 Name: Lauren B Makar Address 1: 1725 Glenview Dr. Address 2: Address 3: Address 4: City, State, Postal Code Las Vegas, NEVADA 89134 Country UNITED STATES Customer Phone: 702326xxxx Customer Birthdate: 1967-xx-xx Email Information: Address: atease@vegasinbox.com

I got rid of some information like the birthdate and phone number to protect whoever Lauren Makar is.

---

Basically, the address of one of the cheating accounts is Russ Hamilton's address.

This is the big thread, maybe someone else can summarize: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=237495

I know about the new owners. I didn't explain myself well enough.
 What I meant by saying that they can't stop the crap, is that even if they were not responsible for the wrong-doing, this are awful news for them, since it will keep the scandal on the front page of every single forum. A few days ago was the Freddy Deeb connection, yesterday a player was claiming that rebuys were still available in a final table, hours after the rebuy period officially ended; now Hamilton, and so on and on and on. What's next?


PS: Rizen is a live-superuser: He saw which cards were coming weeks before they did, and folded pocket Aces ( a shit-load of cash ) preflop. WP sir.

lol at beanie in the 2+2 thread:

"I know Russ well and I assure you he was not knowingly involved in any type of cheating. That may not matter to most of you but when this witch hunt is done you will see that what I am saying is true."

He quit due to the impending 60 minutes piece that will air out UB's dirty laundry.

i dont understand how they are allowed to continue doing business? who regulates this industry and why cant they shut ub down??

it seems like they are free to do as they please with impunity, knowing that most recreational players wont even be aware of what has been going on. is there not a possibility that anyone from ub involved could face criminal proceedings?

Nice work Nat


Why doesn't this surprise me ? Old time hustler and rounder Russ Hamilton got so damn short sighted, he robbed his clients.


No doubt some of his close buddies from way back in the Stardust days were involved as well. Not saying they all were, but here are a few guys you may recognize that know Russ very well:

Brad Daugherty

Blair Rodman

Fred David

Anthony Curtis

TJ Cloutier



This is such B.S., Russ you are the lowest scumbag on the planet,  like 1000x worse than Dutch "run with the $$$" Boyd. Geeez annie & howard involved with this douche, unreal. Life really suxx some days.



Well played Rizen. UB is just a glorified carny booth. F-RH & UB.
