    I e-mailed my friend who's a casino exec at LVH during the show with a copy of the article, etc. It would be great if they get a game going there again.

    Just a few odds and ends. Both Bonnie and Blair claim they don't pal around with Russ. These have been shown before but I wanted to bring this up again after Blair's comments.

    Blair Rodman:
    "I've gone to golf events for the past 20 years with the same large group of guys. Russ Hamilton occasionally shows up. That's the extent of our relationship."

    Sports Illustrated seems to think Russ is a little more involved:

    Who is that in the 9 seat? Who is the lady on the left?

    The rest of the set:
    It kind of looks like him, but that is not Russ dealing.










    One other thing to notice is the location -- Grouse Mountain Lodge, Whitefish, MT

    This is supposedly a picture of Bonnie's son that was posted to PFA. Edit: I know the shirt is old news but it shows she might be hanging around Russ longer than she said or she is just a huge fan of the lodge.

    A few other things for detective druff. I somehow got to this magazine for men who admire large women. June 2000

    On page 39 and a few others I noticed Lingerie Elegance, LLC ...whoa check page 26:


    Is that the same Bonnie? If so, she forms a lot of businesses:

    I'll post more on this later, but the biggest reason not to believe Bonnie's excuses is that she took 5 years to explain herself

    That Wicked Chops article came out in 2010. Why didnt she respond at that point if she was being falsely accused?

    It wouldn't surprise me if she and Russ are no longer friends (as it has been said that he will screw over anyone at any time for any reason), but this really looks like covering her ass only after consequences start to fall as a result of her actions.

    From ElevenGrover on 2+2:

    Her personal account received over 213k from several different cheating accounts and then cashed out over a million dollars. Not a company account, not an affiliate account.

    Her husband (who still puts in time in Russ golf foursomes) had 3 different accounts that funded cheating screennames prior to them going on player raping missions. These are facts that have been conveyed directly to Ms. Leinhos without a plausible explanation. Saying your boss asked you to launder money and evade taxes in repatriating foreign funds doesn't really clear your name, especially when he doesn't ever withdraw into his own accounts.
    Bonnie Leinhos personal account - August17 - #41022 creation date 6/25/2002
    Dep - $80,126, Net Winnings - $-26898, Withdraws - $1,028,555

    Transfers from cheating accounts
    Lauren Makar/Sleeplesss - $2,165
    Ron Saccavino/HeadKase01 - $1,706
    Jason Plunto/Squezzzed - $50,000
    Dan Francis/ShaqTack - $2,500
    Natalie DiGioia/LetsPatttty - $90,000
    Lauren Makar/Twenty 1 - $10,000
    Thomas King/DooMe - $20,000
    Eli Argo/BenzMe - $30,000
    Haim Bajayo/NYMobser (NioNio) - $1,743
    Becky Makar/whowherewhen - $95,000

    Puerto Rico - #12671 creation date 3/17/2001
    Dep - $126, 280, Net Winnings $-55,635, Withdraws $361,696

    Accounts associated with Christian Leinhos include MrOvertight, Chris Leinhos and All_In_Dude.

    This is only the data the site was able to clawback from a recalcitrant Uri Kozai (acting on behalf of UB founders). There likely is additional information as Leinhos is associated with other accounts such as B_Leinhos (follows the same naming convention as UBT cheating acct H_Curtis used to pay expenses).

    Ms. Leinhos listed a Makar owned address as her primary house in Las Vegas during the scam, though at one point she also lived in Florida. The details are not concrete but she acted as a financial overseer for a large investment in a floating casino called the Mardi Gras Queen. The captain said he recalled that Leinhos represented Russ Hamilton in the venture. The boat never succeeded as employees and investors were swindled of the seed money.

    The Thomas King account has a couple naming "coincidences" similar to many of the cheater names (internal meaning since they were never intended to be made public). The individual is fictitious and lists 301 Appleton in Miami as an address. Ms. Leinhos is from a little town just north of Appleton, WI and listed Appleton as an address for several years. Also Miami.

    Travis Makar said he drove around Las Vegas setting the tool up on different machines but refuses to say which machines he configured and who the people are. Ms. Leinhos is one of a tiny few tight Hamilton compatriots that probably qualifies.

    It isn't helpful for Leinhos to finally raise her head only after the scandal personally affects her and then offer no contrition but instead seek sympathy from the community who she assisted in hurting. The time has come for truth and she isn't helping.

    Here's a picture of her with Peter Costa and a few others, from 2010 at a KSINO (clothing company) party:
