Here are the current updates. The internet sleuths are doing a bang-up job here. It's all coming apart for Mike, and to some degree, tournament director (and Stones Live boss) Justin Kuraitis.

First, people have noticed that Mike played far less during June and early July 2019, and he didn't do nearly as well as usual.

Here was a list of games which ran from June 5, 2019 to July 10, 2019:

June 5: 1/3 NL - didn't play
June 8: "Harlan game" (NL) - didn't play
June 10: PLO- didn't play
June 12: 5/5 NL- didn't play
June 15: "Veronica game" (NL) - played and lost
June 17: 1/2/3 NL - played
June 19: 5/5 NL- didn't play
June 22: 5/5 Mix- didn't play
June 24: 1/3 PLO8- didn't play
June 26: 5/5 NL- didn't play
July 1: 1/2 Mix - didn't play
July 3: 5/5 NL- didn't play
July 6: 1/3 NL - showed up late towards the end and played a little
July 8: 1/2/3 NL - played
July 10: 5/5 NL - didn't play
July 13: "Harlan Game" (NL) - didn't play
July 15: 1/2 NL - didn't play

Justin Kuraitis was NOT there during these dates. He was in Vegas at the WSOP.

According to someone on 2+2, he had his hat backwards 4 times in these sessions, and no hat at all in one of them. Overall he loses $2700. He lost just 5 out of 38 times in 2019, and three of those occurred during these dates. He also didn't seem to be looking down very much during these sessions.

On 7/20 he came back and crushed 1/3 NL for $4200. Justin was back at this point. His hat was front-facing, and he didn't appear to be looking down very often.

The only weird outliers were the 7/22 and 7/24 sessions. On 7/22, he had the front-facing hat but seemed to struggle, and walked away up just $400. On 7/24, he was back to the backwards hat with phone on the table, lost his $2k stack twice, and left.

Justin was seen on the stream on 7/24, and he was possibly there on 7/22, as well. However, it's theorized that perhaps this was one of the points when people were complaining about possible cheating, so they laid low for two sessions.

From July 31 to September 21, he was wearing the front-facing hat again, and crushed the game 9 sessions in a row for $55k.

From January 1 - May 20, when Justin was presumably there, Mike had played in 21 streams, going 19-2 and winning $105k. He had the front-facing hat and no phone on the table.

The only outlier came on

Verrrrrrrrrry suspicious.

There's also been an allegation that Mike only seemed to play hands strangely when Justin is NOT in the commentator's booth.

I haven't looked into that yet, either.
