Well this isn't exactly surprising.

I don't think Weisner was ever even a high volume player on Lock yet she is more well known pro so she had this ability and now you have to question how many Lock Pros really had this option. I think some of those not well known likely didn't otherwise you wouldn't see Jared Hubbard or HokieGreg trying to sell off on 2+2 for like 25-30%.
Some lovely reports from 2+2 regarding the Lock cashout situation, over the past week:

Just got this email from Juicy Stakes (who is more than likely tied together with lock)
For a while now Juicy Stakes has been considering ways of improving its customers‘ all-round gaming experience, as well as our site‘s processing procedures. It has been proven to be a harder task than expected, but we have now found a solution in Zagox Management N.V., a company licensed in Curacao.
Zagox Management N.V., a serious partner for all types of online gaming, has acquired Juicy Stakes and will run the business with immediate effect. They are also determined to prove their commitment to you and all Juicy Stakes players, providing the service and support that everyone deserves.
As a result of the new ownership and the new systems that have been put into place, these following changes have had to be implemented:
All pending cash-outs for players had to be cancelled and have to be requested again. But don‘t worry - all cash-outs will be processed as players request them and in accordance with timeframes given in the Juicy Stakes cashier!
All pending bonuses currently running on players‘ accounts have had to be cancelled. At the start of next week there will be a reload promotion that everyone will be entitled to use.
We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but stress that these changes will allow us to start paying your winnings in a very timely manner, thus improving your gaming experience at Juicy Stakes!
To compensate you for your patience in this matter we have set up four $1000 Freerolls over the next four days and the first one is today. Don‘t miss out and make sure you take part and win your share of the money!
October 10th 2013 – 23:30 GMT - $1000 Freeroll – password: X3FK9L
October 11th 2013 – 23:30 GMT - $1000 Freeroll – password: H2MP8T
October 12th 2013 – 23:30 GMT - $1000 Freeroll – password: G5DP7P
October 13th 2013 – 23:30 GMT - $1000 Freeroll – password: W6KN4R
NOTE: Registration starts one hour before tournaments begin!
Kind Regards,
The Juicy Stakes Team
So in other words they run some insane bonus promotions and then decide they can't honor these so all pending bonuses running for players are cancelled but thanks for falling for our master plan by depositing!
Juicy is sharing the same tournaments and cash games with Intertops, as well as Juicy having a new cashier, and claiming they'll guarantee payouts of 1000 dollars or less weekly. I'm thinking Intertops has taken over Juicy and is trying to slowly but surely get rid of the backlog.
Video from Bluff (SrslySirius) at the WSOP Europe confirms that Grinder left Lock Poker:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAQJz2SGw10
He mentions this in the last 15 seconds of the video when Srsly asks him the question about his picture being off the Lock website but does not say anything more as to why he left and that they would send out a statement soon regarding this?
I'm sure Michael Mizrachi will release a statement now that hes probably not getting paid any more. I wont buy any of his BS excuses in this "statement" and his credibility went down big time in my book. I always found it odd that he signed with them in the first place.

Hey guys,
I was googling around last night and came across this:
http://www.domaintuno.com/d/dbm-realty.com
Apparently the same JDB Services N.V. that we're all familiar with ( Jen Larson's/Lock Poker's parent company) owns the domain for www.dbm-realty.com
That site belongs to a Vancouver area realty company, DBM-Realty -- owned and operated by a Jamie Larson.
www.dbm-realty.com
Most likely, he's a family member or spouse of Jen Larson, imo. I posted the above photos on 2+2 last night, and today they were removed from imgur -- Jamie or Jen must have seen my post and filed a complaint with imgur. I don't know why else those photos could've been removed.
Here's his youtube, facebook, and linkedin profiles:
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jamie-larson/47/274/219
https://www.youtube.com/user/DBMrealty?feature=watch
https://www.facebook.com/dbmrealtyqualicumbeach
Hopefully this piece of the puzzle might be of some help to someone someday. Good luck all, and thanks goes to Druff for compiling this massive cliffs of Lock's non-stop bullshit.
^^ I just realized, the info in the link I posted for the domain registration has been changed since last night -- it now shows a 'William Smith' as the registrant.
You can still view the original info in google cache -- here's a few screenshots of what was originally shown:
I downloaded the entire webpage as seen in google cache, for the record. I also saved the entire dmb-realty.com site as well.
You can see the domain for www.kushpoker.com is also linked to the realty company. If you go to that site, it's a blog or something for some Lock Pro.

This Jamie Larson is almost certainly the right guy, apparently he's deleting all traces of himself and his realty business from the net. Both of his realty websites were taken down today.
2+2 has deleted all the posts I made on this topic.
I was able to copy a few of them before they got nuked -- I'lll repost them here, hopefully it's OK here.

Jamie also owned www.westridgeqb.com , another realty business website. The website has been taken down as well, but it was up last night. (It's also still available on google cache if you search for westridgeqb.com)
Here's the domain info linking him to the site:
http://bgp.he.net/dns/westridgeqb.com#_whois
I think there's almost definitely a connection here.
Suppose this Jamie is a relative of Jen (or perhaps a total random who has nothing to do with this) who had her set up his website because he's not very tech savvy and she's the internet expert of the family. Would he really insta-delete everything about him online, as well as his website, his livelihood, if he was an innocent bystander? Would he insta-change the domain registration from JDB Services if it had nothing to do with him or Lock Poker? Perhaps, but it seems unlikely to me. I think the odds of this being a false-ID are pretty low given what's transpired over the past couple of days.
Jim,
Thanks for posting everything.
Sadly, 2+2 has deleted a lot of the things posted (but much has been already reposted here by Jim).
I want everyone to know that you are encouraged to post any and all information related to these criminals, and I will not be censoring anything relevant to the ongoing scam that is Lock Poker.
Attention Jamie Larson and anyone else unhappy with the above policy:
I will only delete your info if you sufficiently convince me that you have absolutely nothing to do with Lock Poker and its parent/affiliated companies. Do not bother to send me legal threats, as I will just repost them here for everyone to see.
Incidentally, nobody has sent me any legal threats thus far, probably because they know I would never cooperate.
Jamie's twitter is still up, though it hasn't been updated since 2011:
https://twitter.com/jamie_larson
Here is his LinkedIn profile, which has been deleted (as part of the mass purge to hide from Lock Poker customers):
It used to be at: http://ca.linkedin.com/pub/jamie-larson/47/274/219
Notice that Jamie went to get his real estate license in 2010, and completed the program in 2011.
This means he's only been in business for a little more than 2 years.
Here is a listing of Jamie's, currently active:
http://www.realtor.ca/PropertyDetail...ey=-1087624927
It's a condo in Vancouver for $625,000.
Not sure who the client is, but I'm sure that could be looked up.
This is from the "about" page on the DBM-realty.com site, which is gone. Notice the partner. He should be contacted.
Here is Jamie Larson's "West Ridge" project, where they served cupcakes on January 5.
Jamie is very into the whole West Ridge development on Qualicum Beach in Vancouver.
This seems to be his main project in early 2014.
Amazing how the website is completely down, given the size of these projects.
Jamie seems very busy, to be honest.
That is honestly the biggest red flag, as an innocent brother/husband of Jen wouldn't panic like this and remove the promotional materials for this major project.
Also I want to point out the similarity in name between JDB Services and DBM Realty.
Both have "DB" as two of the three initials.
Could be a coincidence, but I doubt it.
The "DB" might stand for Dave Bryan, Jamie's partner in DBM Realty. He has been working in real estate since 1978 and very possibly helped bankroll Lock Poker.
This could also explain why "DB" is in both names. Not sure what the "M" stands for, but JDB Services could easily be "Jennifer / Dave Bryan".
So help me understand. You are posting all this information about Jamie Larson because he is related to Jennifer Larson and you believe she is scum?
Would this be like 2+2 getting all pissy about the thread here about n-words and start harassing your brother about living in a racist family? If that started happening and your brother started deleting his social media presence would that then be a guilty plea?
You seem to be getting carried away. Are you taking advice from SBell and just throwing accusations at anyone close to try and get them to talk?
No.Quote:

In fact, I would be removing this information if it were just a matter of "harass the family of the criminal".
For example, if someone posted Jennifer's father's info, I would not allow it here, unless they convinced me that there was a good chance he was also involved with Lock Poker.
In Jamie's case, his realty website was registered to JDB Services, which is Lock's parent company (and pretty much identical to Lock Poker itself, from what we have seen).
Read that again. It was not just designed by JDB Services. The registered owner of DBM Realty's website was JDB Services. At the very least, this gives me the moral and legal ability to accuse Jamie of involvement in the ownership of Lock Poker.
"But what if Jennifer just designed Jamie's website, and registered it through her own registrar account due to laziness of not feeling like entering Jamie's info? Why should you be bothering this poor guy?"
If that's the case, Jamie should come forward somewhere and explain this. There is sufficient evidence all over the internet that Jennifer has stolen millions via Lock Poker, so it is reasonable that people would be out for blood when they find new people associated with that scam company.
Furthermore, Jamie's reaction was incredibly odd. He didn't just wipe out his social media pages, which would be understandable if people were bothering him because of his relation to Jennifer. He wiped out his entire company's website, including important promotional materials just created days ago!
It's not like we are dealing with some engineer who is on social media just for fun, but doesn't need a public internet presence to do his job. Jamie Larson's website was full of slickly-produced sales and promotional material, much of it created in 2014. You don't remove all of that just because one of your relatives is shady and people posted about your relation on the internet.
They also changed the registrant name of DBM Realty to "William Smith", from JDB Services. Why not just change it to Jamie Larson?
Incidentally, DBM Realty's site went back up this morning. They also changed the registration AGAIN for DBM Realty, and now it's listed as being owned by Jamie Larson.
I think it's back up because they realized that all of the info was captured out of the google cache and reposted anyway, so taking the website down only hurts Jamie's business and does not achieve any privacy gains.
My offer still stands, though. If Jamie can convince me that he has nothing to do with Jennifer (aside from a relation to her), then I will take all of this down.
At one point, dbm-realty.com had the same IP address as kushpoker.com, jdbservicesnv.com, conrifil.com, and girahpoker.com!
Incidentally, girahpoker.com is now a generic poker info site, featuring unauthorized use of the images of various pretty girls in poker, such as Jennicide and Tatjana Pasalic.

New registration for DBM-Realty.com:
couldn't it just be a case where a non-internet guy has his more internet savvy sister buy the domains he is using?
you're basically calling him a criminal because his website is registered to the same company as Lock (which is owned by his sister), seems like a reach even for you.Quote:

Granted the taking down of info from the Internet is curious, but you are calling him a criminal in a public forum based on specualtion, you might want to go back and edit and soften that language a bit.

Since his website was registered to Lock Poker's company, I think that qualifies.
I am not condemning him for anything yet, because it's possible that he is just unfortunate enough to be related to Jennifer and stupidly let her design/manage/run his website, despite her involvement in illegal activities. (Lock is illegally operating in the US, even if you ignore the scam/fraud part that's been going on.)
It would be nice if he at least came forward and explained himself, given the information that was found. Covering it up just makes him look more guilty.
Are you sure? I'm not. Has that been challenged in US Federal court and held to challenge? Which US Federal law are they breaking by having a poker website hosted outside of the US run by non-US citizens?Quote:

I am not going to sit here rehashing all of the reasons why. It has been specifically against the law since late 2006 (UIGEA), and on murky legal ground before that.
But that's not even the main point of this thread, and you know it. I answered your question, but please stop trying to troll me here.
I thought UIGEA made it illegal for US companies to facilitate transfers to offshore gambling sites. That doesn't make it illegal for the offshore gambling site to offer it's services. It makes it real difficult for them to run their business because it requires them to partner with someone within the US that is willing to break the law. I don't see how that makes Lock poker a criminal enterprise.Quote:

I know they are slow paying people and we can probably agree they are low on cash and in danger of shutting down. A failing business that leaves creditors is not by definition criminal enterprise. You may not like their ethics of accepting deposits but calling Jennifer Larson a criminal at this point is premature at best.
Not agreeing with Druff = trolling?
I'm not even ***giggling*** OK
Conducting any part of the financial transaction to receive the money for internet gambling is against the law. This includes the payment processor and the poker site itself. It does not include the players, since they are sending, not receiving. Even when they receive cashouts, they are customers rather than providers.Quote:

This is why Black Friday was able to occur. If it were just the payment processors breaking the law, Stars/Full Tilt/AP would not have been busted.
Lock is doing much worse than slow paying. They are non-paying all Americans, extremely slow-paying non-Americans (who should get payments within days, under normal circumstances), and constantly lying about their liquidity in order to solicit new deposits and new customers. Basically, they are taking new deposits under false pretenses, as the money is being immediately spent or used to pay other customers, rather than being held for the player as they make it appear.
This is being done intentionally. There is no effort to curtail unnecessary expenditures, such as the extravagant Portugal trip (which Lock only deemed necessary in order to get its pros to continue lying for them).
I would say that this has all of the hallmarks of a criminal enterprise, rather than just an irresponsible business that wasted player funds (which is already stealing, btw) and simply can't pay.
They also stole millions from their network partner at Revolution, again misrepresenting their liquidity and failing to make reconciliation payments for many months.
Need I go on? Go back to the first post in this thread before any of the non-payment stuff happened, and you'll see how shady/dishonest they were even before all of that.
Lock has been in "rob Peter to pay Paul" mode for at least a year now -- pretty much exactly what Full Tilt did, except here it has been discovered and Lock is still continuing. They left 2+2 when their lies were failing to get through to anyone aside from their own intentionally delusional pros.
I'm definitely going with brother and sister as I see some resemblance in facial structure when looking at the pictures.
