first time checking out the thread on 4, and my god what a fucking shitshow
why would the mods there ever allow one person (santa cruz) to dominate the thread with unreadable garbage?
he might legitimately have half the posts in that thread

If the max is 10 and Micon gets 6 months what exactly would a guy have to do to get max?
Good thing he wasn't very successful. But his failure as a site host really isn't germane, imo.
A little more detail in the thought process is kinda what we do over here. Just playing a hunch is okay for 2+2.
Just to clarify only way he does less than a year is if they charge him with a different crime. Problem is, this crime happens to not have steps so it really is this or nothing.
This Class B felony carries a one year minimum. I am also guessing like many states if he gets a year it will be a full year, if he gets a year and a day he might be able to get out early.
I get the impression that Martha is as balls deep in his martyr trip as he is. She has studiously ignored the warning signs and passed on every chance shes had to step off this merry go round of lurid stupidity.
And it sure as shit wasnt the money that kept her interested, because by all accounts Micon was pulling down about 30-40k a year on this misadventure.
Micon will absolutely do NOTHING near the max. First of all, you have a nerdy/lofty guy who committed a nonviolent crime with no prior history (that I know of at least or heard about). The one mitigating factor which could cause him to get significantly more time, is to stay away from the U.S for too long causing the State/Government to incur much more costs associated with the crime. Which could be offset by them ordering him to pay significantly more restitution in fines, or could possibly use that fact to get a judge to order a stiffer sentence.
If he generally goes along with what his lawyers tell him to do, which will all be based off of their meetings with the D.A/State he won't deal with anything but a Max of 1 year in the Clarke County jail or upstate Nevada prison. You all saying he will go to some 'country club' are most likely wrong. Those places are usually only reserved for Federal Criminals, and more well known and wealthy ones. Micon will do his time assuming its less than 1 year somewhere in Nevada.
Now of course, that's best case scenario. The Micon way may be something totallly different...
In which case if say he doesn't return, against the wishes of his legal counsel, and the State of Nevada, and proceeds to go all Calvin Ayre for 10 or more years and then get caught, he is going to get the full wrath of possible sentences. Got the popcorn ready for this one, pretty soon probably less than 4-6 months there will be some type of plea bargains beginning to come down to him from the State, it's up to him to take it or continue to run.
Another thing about plea-bargains, some people don't know your first plea bargain is never the sweetest one, it's actually alot of times wiser if you can handle riding it out and doing some more time, to hold and usually the subsequent ones get better to a certain point then they close the door. Now thats when dealing with public pretenders, not so sure if that holds true with high paid attorneys, but as a general rule your first "plea" is usually always the shittiest one.
garrett shut up.
kudos to whoever pointed out this insanity on his gofundme page:

Bryan, We at Pokerstars understand the incredible hardship that you are under at this time. Accordingly we have decided to rebate 1% of the losses you incurred by failing to place in the money on tournament #1203587507 (8-Game Buy-In: $500.00+$30.00 USD) on 1st May 2015. We wish you all the best with your campaign. Team Pokerstars.
It is funny reading comments from people who obviously have no fucking clue how the justice system works, what sentences are given out and why. Like people who don't live in this country, or have never had so much as a speeding ticket I would presume from reading certain predictions about all the "hard time" Micon is facing for this crime of the century.
He is probably reading this shitting his pants, so keep up the good work.
I watched part of white collar crime documentary last night on CNBC and Micon should be shitting his pants. I would be, even my tattoos would be shitting themselves. CEO's stealing, ponzi guys, etc, locked up with regular criminals however mostly non violent drug offenses criminals. We're not talking single cells, we're talking dormitories with a hundred other dudes. No thanks. You did the crime, now bend over and do your time bitch.
:lol2
Really thought someone would have posted this by now.

I have started my own gofundme in relation to Micons legal issues.....
http://www.gofundme.com/daredevil
Willie you are such are a huge pussy and always have been
post your personal info and put your life out there like Micon has
you just sit in the wings and take cheap pot shots you spineless anonymous fuck
what a huge gimp you are to point out someone else's flaws sitting in the dark
worthless POS
What if Micon doesn't turn myself in the next year or two?
I think the state of Nevada can have a trial without Micon present, if that happens, he will most likely be convicted and be sentenced to years in prison.

This was made by NY State for first timers entering the prison system.
Ran into this randomly on Reddit, Reddit's the stone cold nutz as usual..
Well done! Important info from real inmates.
Real talk, no scary bullshit added for ratings/shock value.
Willie introduced himself to me by real name at the WSOP (at the end of Day 7 jfc), and somehow my idiot savant brain figured out it was him. He must have posted his info here at some point.
Looks like from this article, CSI Cyber is going after online poker ...........
The episode airs Wednesday night on CBS in the US at 10 pm EST.
‘CSI: Cyber’ Is Raising The Stakes To Expose ‘Seedy’ Online Poker World Tonight
Doesn’t exactly look like Costa Rica in the trailer but certainly could pass for Bryon Micon’s US-based home we suppose. Micon was recently indicted for running a Bitcoin-only Web poker site from his home in Las Vegas, or so Nevada state Attorney General Adam Paul Laxalt claims.
...“The online gaming world is a haven for cyber-criminals,” Special Agent Avery Ryan, played by Patricia Arquette, says in the trailer....
..Arquette’s character is seen in the trailer asking to have $250,000 to play online poker, which would be impossible to deposit....
http://www.gambling911.com/gambling-...ht-050515.html
In before one of the characters, during the show, tries to act as if he/she is some expert poker player and explains to another character how to play, and also acts as if he can read a player's "tell" and also happens to occasionally frequent some random poker site and knows someone who is a great online poker player.
bonus points for them showing an online hand and it not making any sense
He really really REALLY just needs to contact the feds and turn himself in
this is not going to end well if he insists on fighting the charges
I mean I fucking hate cops and all...but they seem pretty intent on making an example of him in this particular case
his best move would be to fly back to the U.S. and serve what will most likely be 6 months
do it for your family Bryan
___
on a side note....
nice job losing almost 700 bucks on Stars not even a week after begging for help to pay your 'legal team' on gofundme
lol I mean wow that is just flat out absurd
what a fucking pos
So Micon can turn himself in and have a future...
I think Druff should take over SWC2 and agree to pay Micon "after release" some 7 figure amount, ONLY if SWC2 becomes successful and regulated. He'll have get it regulated in maybe Antigua and def not serve any US players for now.
FAQ
Why would Druff pay for SWC2 and not make his own site?
The heart warming, fairy tale ending that everyone loves. Can you say poker boom 2.0!
Let the haters hate Micon lol at Belly Buster falsely accusing -1
Belly Buster didn't falsely accuse.
His accusation was completely justified, given what information he had.
I just explained something on the radio that no one likely knew (aside from the DD owners) -- that we were using pokeraffiliatesolutions to do our rakeback stuff, and that they automatically got the e-mail addresses of anyone who signed up to poker sites via DD's rakeback/offers page.
This was set up by reggiman/lakingsfan, btw, and not me. But it was the only way we could offer any kind of decent rakeback deals on our own, which honestly wasn't used by many people. The main "income" from DD rakeback came from my own Bodog play!
Anyway, looks like pokeraffiliatesolutions took to spamming those e-mail addresses recently, but at least it came directly from them, and they don't appear to have sold it.
Anyway, bottom line is that Micon didn't sell your e-mails.
I just wanted it to be stated in this thread that is all. I respect what you do Druff, keep up the good work.
Belly Buster is one of the nicest guys on the site and most generous with his time. It was a logical deduction, particularly the timing.
