Daniel Colman accuses Sean Perry of scamming him for "7 figures" in weird Daily Fantasy Sports prop betting scheme

[Dan Druff]

Sean Perry is a young poker pro, who has appeared on High Stakes Poker and other broadcasts. He's the son of Russian-born poker pro Ralph Perry, and gimmicky Vegas area realtor Merri Perry.

Daniel Colman is accusing Sean of scamming him for "7 figures" in DFS betting. He claims they each bet on 3 DFS pros' results (out of a pool of 6), and that Perry was actually in control of 3 of those accounts.

I can't comment on Perry's guilt or innocence here, because I haven't seen the lineups, nor am I a DFS expert. Aaron Jones ("AEJones") also assisted in the process of analyzing the whole thing. As an outsider, I have to agree that it doesn't look very good for Perry here.

As Jones said, "it was a very stupid thing to gamble on", and it's amazing that this could have been a 7-figure scam. Obviously the huge, gaping security hole was those three "random" accounts, which obviously could be controlled by a scammer and manipulated to produce the desired results.

Apparently Colman trusted Sam Soverel to have already vetted this, and claims that Sam "agreed" with Perry's request to include these accounts. They were sold as "random DFS pros", yet had no history on there. How did this get past Sam and Daniel?!?!

Perry has $2.2m in tournament cashes since 2017, and is 25 years old.




Perry's Twitter is here, but he hasn't commented on this, and hasn't tweeted since April 27. It's unclear if the April 27 date coincides with when Colman accused him.

I don’t like seeing anyone get scammed but fuck Coleman. That kid acted like he is better then the poker world as he ran away with 15 million or so. Then that dumb T shirt on tv. Dirtbag

Interesting story but don’t feel bad for Colman in the slightest. I’m also tired of this PSA bullshit. There is probably only a handful of guys who would even make stupid fucking bets like this and I’m sure they all know the story by now. It’s a public shaming to try and get the money returned. I just wish these guys would be more upfront about it.

It’s not like someone is going to come across his post and say “Oh shit, I was thinking of betting 100’s of thousands of dollars on that nonsense, thanks for the heads up Dan”. Clearly Colman has fuck you money and is bored af just going to the gym, flexing in the mirror and constantly checking his investments growing all day long.

I’m not hating on him for having money, God Bless him. But he is a fucking moron here. Daniel has declined to do any media regarding this situation because of all the false hope the DFS industry marketed to suckers for years.

Just to clarify, I despise scammers and if all is proven true, this Perry guy should be held accountable and shunned for all time from the gambling community. I guess I would call this a very targeted scam that only a handful of people are even in a position to be rolled.
,
Colman may have been a moron, but that doesn’t make what happened to him any less despicable. I am just astounded that he would bet on something like this.

Bob is roasting Colman. I did think that Soverel being the conduit here was pretty sketchy but I didn’t want to throw his name out there. Colman is now throwing Soverel under the bus and implying he was in on it.

There were so many red flags that Colman didn’t pick up on here it is truly shocking and embarrassing.

Yes, I also suspect Sam's involvement.

Either Sam is the most gullible guy in the world, or something is off here. I can just picture it...

Sean: "Hey Sam, want to make huge DFS bets with me?"

Sam: "What are we betting on?"

Sean: "Oh, not much... we will just pick 3 DFS pros each, from a pool of 6, and add up their points, and see who finishes with more."

Sam: "That sounds great! But which 6 DFS pros? The known top 6 on Draftkings?"

Sean: "Nah. How about the top 3 on Draftkings, and 3 other big time DFS pros who aren't as well known?"

Sam: "Okay. So what's the story with those other 3? Can I look at their profiles to see how they've done?"

Sean: "Ummm... no, because they don't have any record on there. But trust me, they're top DFS pros."

Sam: "Okay, I trust you. Sooo... how much you wanna bet? $100k? $300k? $500k? Anything's cool with me. I'll get Dan Colman to go in with me if it gets too high."
