Are Pokémon cards really a thing? Can someone please explain it to me? How many of you collect and trade, and do you actually play the actual Pokémon game?

The man in the grey T-shirt on the right of @The_Brownballa is David aka Mr Fo 老佛. He is a confirmed cheater. In a previously released screenshot (with a time stamp that corresponds with the date of this session on Jan 12, 2023) his accomplice/boss Mars actually told him to stop making his cheating so obvious. He is an elusive, slippery character who grifts in the underbelly of society. He may also be an illegal immigrant and/or fugitive. Anyone with any information regarding him, please come forward! We intend to share everything we have with the LAPD and FBI.
The cheating occurred in 2 phases with different crews and 2 groups of targets. Here are the details.
'Heartbreaking' – @nikairball and @blankcheckben corroborate Wes Side Wesley (@CryptoApprenti1)'s cheating allegations and share supporting tales of suspect play.

Pretty bad AI translation, but nevertheless revealing. Listen to him grovel.

(2) Shortly after @The_Brownballa got felted, I was dealt 64s in the SB. Whale opens to 1,000. 3 calls. I call. Flop 357r. I check. Whale bets 3,000 into 5,000. I check raise to 30,000. Whale snap jams 150,000 without thinking. I call. He tables 88. I ask to run twice. He says no. Turn 6, river 4. I quit the game after that.
At about 5 am, @nikairball calls and tells me that the whale has been felted and lost it all to Mars in one of the last hands of the night. I called Mars and the other game host the next day and apologized for “over reacting”.
I was in this hand too. I was the player who open raised (with AQo). After Eshaan 3b and the “whale” cold called, I folded because they didn’t have enough behind. The flop was Q82r and @The_Brownballa stacks off with KK v 82. They probably didn’t think I’d fold AQ after opening from HJ. So I “got away”. But one orbit later, something even crazier happened.
Hey everyone so I'm gonna weigh in on my perspective on the Mars scandal. So I didn't play much at the Chinese home games but I did a couple times. There was one time when I lost 100k where in retrospect it's extremely likely I was cheated. It was a big straddle pot (800 straddle was on) where another player opened to like 3k one call in the middle and I squeezed kk to 14k on the button. So called "whale" that Mars later stacked in a different hand that made no sense cold called and the opener folded. Flop q82r he donks for like 12k I jam my remaining 35 or so he calls and has 82hh. I was suspicious but since the whale dusted his 200k stack to mars later I just assumed that he was just a mega whale and didn't know what he was doing. At the time I didn't consider they could have been cheating together. I've talked to other players that know this so called whale since, and they told me he's extremely tight. Mars defending himself by denying the allegations and trying to defame Wes in return leaves an extremely bad taste in my mouth. We all considered Mars our friend and this entire situation is very disheartening.

Russell Thamer tried to scam me using another fake identity, then tried to extort me when I didn’t respond. I’m reproducing all of his threats and allegations. For what it’s worth, I’ve said my piece on the matter. I will comment no further. I am not afraid of his blackmail.

Just found this scammer is a drug dealer. And could named “Russel Tamer”. According to someone who met him in person , this is 100% him. @blankcheckben
Many of you have asked me why I haven’t been on HCL lately. Truth is I have been going through a real ordeal. As if scamming me wasn’t enough, Thamer continues to blackmail me even now. I used to keep a low profile. I’d like to go back to that. scamclarification.com
The scammer Russell Thamer fabricated a complex story about how @CryptoApprenti1 not only defrauded him, but also hired thugs to break into his home. More details on scamclarification.com.
I’d like to issue a public apology to @CryptoApprenti1 for my part in the fraudulent Uncovering Wesley” website. I was scammed into giving funding to the author. I take full responsibility. He got me to send him £30,000 and is still blackmailing me. Full details on scamclarification.com
Is he the victim of a witch hunt? Or a creep who got what he deserved? What would you have done?

I’ve been away and not in a touch with poker stuff lately. I gave over $13,000 to Robert Mercer (some contributed by my friends). Also we put him up in a hotel suite at Bellagio for 11 nights. Advice, suggestions?
