0:00 thank you [Music] do any of you guys use online betting apps for like sports or anything I used to um so I just got one because my neighbor does it every weekend uh every Sunday and we watch football together so yeah I get I got this St it's the BET MGM Scandal yeah ████ yeah I know all about this oh ████ what is this what happened what happened yeah so they're targeting Pro poker players uh through so Global Payments is like this company that runs all of the ████ bet MGM WSOP it's like they handle all of the payments the way that people can deposit money and like bet and all that stuff but they do it it's like a third party company that does it for wsop.com and uh bet MGM and like all these different sites well someone it's like specific
0:51 because they know that these poker players have like x amount of money in their accounts and if you ever deposited with e-checks they're like going down a list and basically hacking into these people's accounts and taking like ten thousand dollars and there's nothing that these poker players can do about it like so their Banks were like okay we got you it's fraud and like they had to file fraud reports or whatever but then Global Payments was like hey remember that money we stole you owe us that back yeah and they're like so it's a whole big ████ thing right now because it's super targeted it's like professional poker players that have X amount of money that have used e-checks because so far people that use PayPal haven't had a problem but like E-Check specifically yeah they got access to these people's bank accounts somehow and we're able to like just withdraw like tens of
1:42 thousands of dollars it was a whole I'm part of like poker Twitter like I didn't mean to be but all of a sudden all these poker Twitter started coming and then I just started following people one by one and now like my whole feed is all just poker people like with e-checks is it just like an electronic check that's all it is yeah basically it's the only way you can like do it like AC H transfer like like if you don't want to use PayPal I always use PayPal because I got really scared a lot of people were getting hit um but it seems to be only if they knew that you had a big win in poker so and then and then you had to used E-Check to deposit whoa not PayPal so I was like because they were like if you have you should delete your account right now if you haven't gotten hit yet because they pull it back from you really eradicate your wsop.com account like start a new one like just ████ cancel all of
2:32 those accounts get a new bank account get a new bank get a new everything get a new card is online poker legal now like for all states uh not for all states it's actually federally illegal um but in certain States it's regulated like Nevada New Jersey a couple other states Nevada New Jersey wsop.com regulates but they have like a monopoly on the regulation which is also ████ because they haven't updated their software or anything it just sucks like all around just sucks but so then there's these other companies like America's card room ignition um like 888 there's a lot of uh other online sites that okay yeah uh it's unregulated oh so it's like a Caribbean address or something and they yeah and they use like some loophole that's kind of like a giveaway like it's like something I bought gift
3:23 cards type of thing like when I bought like back then like these different gambling sites it was gift cards yeah and then that came in my account closet there it it the it shows up as like I bought something from China oh yeah see I never made a deposit because I always lose all my money I wouldn't know what it's like to cash out but I remember buying you know that person it was out like a gift card yeah yeah there's some loopholes I don't know I don't know the exact legal things but people are like well you shouldn't trust it because it's unregulated but these sites have been around for like 20 plus years yeah and so they're I don't know trust is a heavy word yeah I mean if you but the one that's trusted is wsop.com which is the one getting ████ hacked and they're like yeah we're not wsop.com's like we're not gonna help you like it's Global Payments that did it yeah
4:13 no they did they started sending collections after these people so now these People's Credit Card scores are gonna get yeah because of money that got stolen because of their ████ faulty system that's funny because it's not the first time the WSOP website got in trouble for like this ████ so I would say there was a moment called like Black Friday or something like that it's just like when I barely got into poker it was like 2008. it's when they just made all the online illegal and if you had money on that account it's just gone yeah so if you had like 150 000 on there some people like lost it was just gone more than six figures and in WSOP which is like one of the major ████ you know websites and that one guy with the cowboy hat he was involved in Doyle Brunson no no the younger one with a beard any skinny
5:05 four it was that guy it was a couple of other guys involved in it right and then when they became insulted there wasn't I forgot what the news was was so old but then it was like that's crazy how these things keep happening and then this wso Speedway website still stays alive yeah it just people still want to play poker that's the thing well they don't have no other choice yeah they're like okay well I want yeah I want to play poker I guess I'll just play on this it feels like such a modern um Ocean's 11 type Heist like yeah like a to date how you would do it now yeah it's like easier get all these like uh Pro poker players that are winning and then just get their info and then sign them up fake accounts for like betting sites well something similar to like FTX happened back then where like you
5:55 deposit your money and you play poker right but then they take your cash and these guys were playing poker with it or they were investing in it or buying houses or whatever so they're just numbers when you made a deposit and then so like when all of a sudden they try to cash out they were like oh well we don't got your cash well the one guy that's all over the news about that Friedman or what's his name yeah okay so he was part of the uh one of the poker sites oh really that went under it everyone lost their money that's so funny it's all connected when you're playing because you do live streams yeah for a poker do people see you're like like can they see any information about you can't see any information just my screen name okay yeah he's worried is what he's saying he's wondering well that's America's card room um I mean they see that they see my screen name but that's it yeah
