    Let us take a look at how many years in prison in can make whether an offender repay the damage or not:

    According to various outlets, Darren Woods (pictured), who is known in the industry as DooshCom, has been sentenced to 15 months behind bars for online poker fraud. The UK player was also ordered to return £1 million.

    However, if he fails to return the money, he'll face another six years in the clinker.

    Woods' father was also implicated, as according to the Grimsby Telegraph, "Woods, 29, of Stallingborough Road, denied 13 fraud offenses between January 2007 and January 2012, but partway through a trial, he changed his pleas to guilty on nine of them.

    His father, Morteza Gharoon, 56, of the same address, admitted a money laundering matter, involving £230,000. Gharoon also admitted possessing cannabis, valued at £246, that was found when his home was searched on November 16, 2011."

    ...

    Woods originally faced up to 10 years in jail.

    Message to some of the participants of the illegal operation Lock Poker: Liezl Tengco, Shane Bridges, Gerard Poltorak, Eric Lynch, Bryce Geoffrey, Jim Erwood, Melanie Weisner, Anette Obrestad.

    participant = continued to advertise or work for Lock, while it was clear that player funds are misappropriated = ponzi scheme

    I have an amicable solution for you(except Larson and Young as legal action already has started):

    Lock Poker owe me $127,000 and I have screenshots and email conversation with Geoffrey to prove this.

    $127,000 divided with 10(including Larson and Young) = $12,700 per participant.

    You have the possibility to give me this amount in Bitcoins until 28th January 2016 and the case is finished for my part:

    BTC address: 1CRJyeJv1zJwv12McLnQabedFUcWUgkkuU

    Reference: your first name

    I am the only one with sufficient proof/info who is going after you and if I stop doing this, the case should be finished for you.

    After 28th January 2016, I will initiate legal action against accomplices who did not feel any obligation to compensate my damage. I will be then also so kindly to publicize further info(address, etc.), documents and proof, so other victims can demand their money directly from you and based on the civil laws of the relevant jurisdictions for the next up to 30 years at any time.

    I also know that most of you did not declare your income properly and you might be then also held accountable for the criminal offense of tax evasion.

    Explanation: I decided to withdraw Young, as I think that someone who spent our money for 5 stars boutique hotels and $500 wine bottles(while some of us urgend needed that money), should not have the possibility to get away for only $12,700.

    I am already in the process of initiating criminal proceeding(s) and will update as soon as further details are available, but this can take of course months, like in the case of Larson.

    Stay tuned...

    I seriously am busting out laughing at you messaging Melanie Weisner and Annette Obrestad for money when they aren't the ones that stole it from you.

    Should they have left sooner? Yes, but they are not owners of Lock Poker. They might have even been rolled for a sum of money when Lock closed down which a few pros I know had over $100k on there so they basically paid Lock to be sponsored pros in the end when you do the math.

    Melanie and Annette were only two of the pros that stuck around. What about Bryan Pellegrino, Jared Hubbard, Greg Tiller, Michael Mizrachi,etc... ? Just pick on the females I see rofl.

    When one these people sends to $12,700 please show proof with a screen shot that someone actually caved in but I won't be holding my breath to ever see you get a dime in this approach you are taking.

      Towerflower: - If someone has committed a criminal offense and is liable, doesn't depend on whether he also got the loot. - As soon as someone has sent, I will lose his name from my memory -> therefore no screen shot, etc.

    What has me busting out laughing is the demand for payment in Bitcoins, the better to make any supposed payoff untraceable for ol' TowerFlower. (I missed this at first, shame on me.) Of course, even assuming that TF has some form of criminal info against -all- the people he claims (including the sponsored pros), them sending him a few BTC wouldn't necessarily keep him from disseminating the info anyway. From a logic sense, there's no incentive for them to comply with such anonymous demands.

    The more I look at, the worse this scheme is. Not that I don't want to see the perps brought to justice, but this ain't the way.

    You've still no idea about legal matters, but it seems that you still feel obliged to attack me and try to ridicule:

    This is an offer and not a demand! A demand look a little bit different and would be served thru legal channels. But since you have no idea about civil laws, of course you can not assess this.

    Without wanting to appear petty now, I would like to draw your attention in this context, that Larson has not stolen anything, like stated in your commencing the lock poker blame game.

    Bitcoins, because they give the sender the opportunity to send completely anonymous, without the requirement to divulge further personal data like bank account, etc. and not because Towerflower is hiding.

    Those who prefer to make a bank account transfer, can of course do this.

    Even if they would send a few BTC to a public offer(but it is public, isn't it?), there is nothing which necessarily could stop me from disseminating the info anyway. Despite of this, the problem is not I disseminating the info and documents I have, but I initiating criminal and civil proceedings using this info and documents. Maybe you missed that part(because you doubt everything), but so far, I am the only one who was able to successful initiate criminal proceedings.

    Correct. My offer is not the way to bring them to justice and this is presumably the reason why you have started to attack me since and try badmouthing it.

    U.K.
    Nine convicted of multi-million pound pyramid promotional scheme

    Following a Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) prosecution, over 3 trials, 9 people have been convicted at Bristol Crown Court of organising and/or promoting a pyramid promotional scheme involving over £20 million pounds.

    As the convictions make clear, pyramid selling schemes where money is generated primarily by recruiting new people to join in, are illegal and criminal. Anyone thinking of organising or promoting such a scheme risks a criminal record and a spell in prison.
    Ireland
    Promoting or participating in a pyramid scheme is illegal under Irish law and if convicted, you may be liable to a fine of up to of up to €150,000 or up to five years' imprisonment or both.
    U.S.
    In Texas, pyramid schemes are against the law. They are considered a type of investment fraud. Many of these schemes are carried out over the internet and e-mail as scams. Texas law makes it a crime to create, prepare, advertise, sell, operate or promote a pyramid promotional scheme.
    Lock was not a pyramid but a fraud scheme, as deposits and winnings were not given back. And promoting an illegal operation(misleading advertisement and misappropriation of deposits) is always a criminal offense, even if you did not receive the swag.

    Every pro who was at the retreat in Portugal in April 2013, knew latest from this point that customers did not get the money owed opposed to what was stated in Lock's terms of service:

    Cash Outs. Except as otherwise required by each deposit method or our security team, you may request to cash out and withdraw any or all of your Account Balance at any time and there is no requirement to play the Games in order for you to make such request.
    Melanie Weisner after Portugal retreat:

    Why do the pros represent Lock? Why do we continue to be ambassadors for a site that is causing so many problems for the poker community with the cashout delays and rumors of insolvency? The implication is that we're just using our names and brands in order to selfishly promote, and take a paycheck from, a site that is screwing over their players.

    But the truth is, jumping ship, breaking contract, and leaving Lock would accomplish absolutely nothing except dissolving important channels that the site has to the community, which are damned important channels to maintain in order for any of these problems to be rectified. No pro in his/her ethical right mind should spend years promoting a site, signing their friends and peers up through it, and then decide to peace out when issues arise and the going gets tough. I personally feel responsible for encouraging many players to join the site, and the other pros and I feel that we have a responsibility to all those players who signed up under us in good faith, making it unacceptable to abandon our responsibilities here rather than work to improve the situation.
    The truth is, as soon as you get aware that the company you promote habitually and seriously do not give the money owed to customers, you have to leave or otherwise commit a criminal offense and are liable.

    Despite of this, if the money was there and technical processing issues were the reason, Lock could have closed business the next day and everyone would have get what is owed as soon as the technical processing issues were solved, right? Solving the technical processing issue was in no way related to whether Lock continue the business or pros continue to promote!

    The only thing what continue to promote Lock can accomplish is to keep the fraud scheme alive, so that the pros and the by the pros referred players have a higher chance to get at least a part of what is owed. What happened at the retreat in Portugal was the conspiracy to commit a crime, namely continue to promote Lock, even though the pros were very well aware that customers habitually don't get what is owed and which was also a breach of Lock's terms of service!

    Here is a picture slide show of the Palacio do Freixo - Pousada & National Monument in Porto, where the retreat was April/May 2013.

    The unlucky part for the advertiser and representatives(i.e. pros) of the Lock Poker fraud is that the hotels in Portugal have to send the data of the guests to SEF = Servico de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras(Immigration and Borders Service), which is a part of the police. All I have to do now is go to Porto and file a criminal complaint against the participants of this conspiracy meeting and the Policia Judiciaria will then forward the complaint to the police of the jurisdiction of each participant.

    -> Beaten 30 mosquitos with one fly swat, so to say! LMAO

    Who is the dolt?

    What lead me to proceed now this way?

    I originally wanted to go after participants until I have what is owed + interest + compensation for time and money spent. But after Casey Jarzabek said
    @bigdogpckt5s You promoted Lock while Larson misappropriated player funds and I look for compensation. More info: link

    @Towerflower1 lolol your a dolt
    I decided to go this way...

    So if one of you will be held accountable within the next years, even though you were not on my road map, then simply say thank you to your colleague Casey Jarzabek.

    Ahh, and Jamie Larson was also at the conspiracy meeting in Porto, even though he deny to have anything to do with Lock Poker, while Shane said Lock's management and partners were all meeting together.

    Why flew Jamie Larson to the conspiracy meeting in Europe if he has nothing to do with it?

    Would Jennifer Larson fly to DBM Realty business meetings on Vancouver Island while she has nothing to do with it? While possible, I doubt it.

    Melanie Weisners argument that she needed to stay to keep communication open when no payments were being made held about as much water as that scumbag Barry Shulman saying had to uphold contact and commitment to lock. As someone wise said , you have no obligation once it becomes clear that an operation is a scam and robbing people and if you continue to support it you become just as guilty in your support. Really though tower do you really expect to see any money from any of these scumbags because you have something over them like they didn't pay taxes or whatever you are holding over them? If they paid you they would have to pay everyone because everyone could then threaten them. They are all deadbeats that will never pay anyone one cent of what they are owed. I commend you for your sticktuitiveness. When do you expect to get paid by any of these scums and shouldn't you have been paid by some of them by your own arguments?

    Yes, I should as anything else will get unlike more expensive. However, they think victims like me make it all worth wile:

    @Towerflower1 lololol it's people like u that make it all worth while lolololol.

    @bigdogpckt5s Your Queen is fallen -> pawns will fall and I doubt it will be worth wile for the pawns at the end...

    Surely you got at least 8 out of 10 of these people scared so badly they shipped you the bitcoin extortion payment you were asking for.

    I need the Lock Poker deposit method receiver accounts:

    Neteller: www.lockcasino.com

    Skrill: support@jdbservicesnv.com

    Ecopayz: ?

    Credit card: ?

    Method?: ?


    Every payment processor has to store your transactions for minimum 5 years by law. If the transactions you made to Lock are not listed anymore in your processor account, then you can make a request to support.

    UPDATE

    The court in Siena/Italy stopped the proceedings against Jennifer Larson for embezzlement, because the account was running in Andorra and she had no authority over it.

    The big question now is, who had the authority over Lock's business account in Andorra = embezzled the player deposits?

    Eric -I have nothing evidence wise to base this on, but I would be willing to bet that most of the company isn't even owned by Jennifer any more but silent partners, although knowing her I'm sure she retained power and controlling interest in some way.

    My lawyer in Italy said that the name of the bank and the number account(s) are not in the court records and that the court in Siena don't know it. So they took the lie from Larson that she had no disposal authority over the business account and closed the proceedings.

    The court in Siena also did not forward the case to the authorities in Andorra, even though they said it is a case for them. But this is not a problem, because the authorities there go after money laundering. The bank in question was accused for money laundering from FinCEN USA and there was an investigation.

    The Lock Poker Business Plan with main participants and their history (mainly worked at Bodog) is now available for the public.

    Support centre was run by Liezl Tengco in Vancouver and all company banking was conducted at the BPA in Andorra.

    The case is still in process and the one or other participant (including pros) might will be held accountable.
