Half-time in the match, may as well get this out of the way.
It seems some people are aware of this but for those who don`t, here goes...
Myself and quite a few others are owed monies by a certain individual,going back nearly 12 months for myself personally. Judging by his lack of attendence here over the last few months and his non-responsive actions to PM`s, it is safe to say it does`nt look like I or others will get back what is owed to us.
Therefore its is my pleasure to out the one-time poster boy of IPB....

Im sorry to hear about your situation Dimoxinil and others who are owed monies. FWIW any dealings I have had with Danny have been straight up. If he owed me money but was a little strapped he would always let me know! I dont think he's the sort who would try to scam or steal from IPB members
The are possibly reasons as to why he hasn't paid back what is owed but I can nearly say for definite if he had the money he would pay you back asap.
I dont know what the situation is just lending an oar since he's not here to defend himself and those of you who have seen our tit for tat in the bbv know I wouldnt speak for Danny here if what I have said wasnt true.Last edited by Bubbleking; 23-06-12, 21:03.

@ Bubbleking
I`m all for letting a few quid slide for a while if somebody is stuck, but I`m waiting the bones of a year now and I`m not alone here either. If he has some personal or gambling problem , would it be too much to send a PM to explain ?
Instead he has disappeared off the face of the earth, I do feel somewhat dirty for doing this, but it has to be out in the open now before anyone else gets stung !

A year is about 11.5 months late imo for pointing out that you've found someone to not be reliable.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

Fair play for holding out for a year man. 12 times too much time I would have but fair play for having the patience to hold out this long. People who owe cash like this deserve to be outted no matter how many posts he has on here. All I can say is hope all you guys get your money back. Awful situation. Fair play OP and others for their patience and GL.

Hi all,
I'm ashamed and embaressed for causing the grief that I have, I definately do owe a couple of people on the forum money.
A minute doesn't go by any day when I don't think about it and I genuinely hate being in this position.
My sincere apoligies for the 'burying my head in the sand' approach. I've desperately been trying to do something to raise a few quid to pay back what I owe.
I've been recently struggling with anxiety attacks and I've found it difficult to face up to these things. I hope this doesn't sound like a bullshit excuse, I'm revealing more than I'm really comfortable with but the lads i'm indebted to deserve an explanation.
My problems shouldn't have to extend towards anyone here and I'm really sorry to the lads in question. Social welfare if my only income at the moment but i'll be back online at some stage tomorrow and I'll get in contact with the lads and respond to pms to try and arrange some way of payment, it'll have to be in chunks but I assure you it will be paid. If I had the funds to pay at any stage I would have in a heartbeat.
Again, my apoligies, I never meant it to come to this and i'm sick to my stomach about it, I've made a right fool of myself but I'll try and rectify the situation as soon as possible.

I think ppl must consider others in situations like this and their individual circumstances
When a person is put/arrived at a situation where he/she has to appeal for help then they are in a predicament usually which is uncomfortable to them
If you offer a hand of friendship you do so with an understanding and genuine empathy to the person reaching out
You dont do so and lambast them when they dont follow the path to which you aspired them to
As Danny has spoken out I will say, yes I have tried to help him out and am happy to say so
I dont care when I get paid if ever. The offer was made in good faith yes but it was what i could 'afford' to write off as well.....a luxury to him he could not afford at the time
I have spent time homeless sleeping on the streets and chasing fag butts threw outta cars and going into pubs and begging etc etc and know how much value help is when in need. It is not a past I am proud of but also not ashamed as you get a unique perspective for which I am thankful and also has been useful at times
So I say to those whom are owed;
Do you really need it now
Surely its better to see someone make their way back and when recompense is made you know that your contribution helped and remuneration is made from the upside of life
when someone is down dont bang em down more
yeah its shitty and yeah it shouldn't have happened but fuck it...it has
I am sure Danny feels a lot worse than you or me ...
and if he comes to the IPB day out I will stake him and buy him a pint
just my thgts ...........

On the flipside of that, the likes of thedini and anyone else that might be owed as a result of the premier predictions. It wasn't a loan or a lost bet. If was money they believed was sitting in Dannys account waiting for them, and didn't believe it would ever have been an issue. They are in a different boat than anyone that might have loaned the guy some money and it is understandable if they are more upset.
I don't want to get into the ins and outs of my situation at the moment, because i wouldn't be in this situation if i didn't class Danny as a friend and have a lot of respect for him in the first place

From reading this, if he's been playing on stars in the interim, then his excuse is kind of bullshit.
At least he didn't continue to hide and did make a post, which was less cowardly.
If this was a poster who had less posts or who not many people knew he would have been burned at the stake by now.
Anyway hopefully he sorts shit out and people get paid. Gl all.

It's an unfortunate situation but its all out there now and hopefully the people directly involved can come to a resolution. I don't know nor do I want to know all the details but I'm sure there is nothing so broken here that it can't be mended if everyone keeps their cool.
This thread has now served its purpose in this matter.Turning millions into thousands

I hope this gets sorted for DD who I have always liked, but we need to be careful. None of us know exactly what going on.

massive difference between a lend of money, and being in charge of a pool of money.
At no stage was the cash owed DannyDiamond's. Very very very poor form to access it, use it and as a result no longer have it imo. Abusing a position of trust is pretty nasty imo, and of course circumstances may prove mitigating, but it's still a really poor decision.

Ok, maybe I came across as a bit of a cunt and could have worded my op better but alas I cant change that now.
In general, if I know the person or have had dealings with them in the past, I would hold off on collecting from them if they gave me a valid and reasonable excuse. Usually its for small amounts so I can easily survive without it. The problem here is, that I was contacted by a few people stating they were also in the same boat as me.
I knew I would cause a shitstorm for both DD and myself by posting, but it seems a few people knew what was going on but nobody else wanted to start a mud slinging contest.
I have seen what a bad gambling addiction can do to 2 close workmates of mine, and by fuck, I wont stand back and see this happening here any longer.
In summary, I cant wave a magic wand and make everything better, but I hope it is all sorted out soon for all parties.

This is disgusting. Should be instantly banned. Ive put up what I think about it all in the bbv just now.
Ckids post is by far the best. Such double standards.

I take a very dim view of this personally. In this case the reputation built up on here over time that means he is being afforded greater tolerance is exactly what was abused when he lost / spent / gambled a pool of money he was entrusted to escrow.
- If Danny wasn't well liked, respected and considered a decent bloke he wouldn't have been acceptable as an escrow;
- After he fails to carry out his escrow responsibilities he is afforded more time and patience to make good because he is well liked, respected and considered a decent bloke;
The thing I hate most about the poker community is that so, so many turn out to be unreliable or untrustworthy as the years roll on.
I'd imagine Danny had and has good intentions and didn't intend to get into this situation, but escrow funds should be released instantly or, at worst, within days of being due for payment.
I hope things improve for Danny and he opens a dialogue with those he owes money to. Might take a while to dig himself out of this hole. Hopefully he can.
