I'm not writing this out to clear my name. This is the factual account of what happened.
Sometime on 2010ish I was an active poster on Donkdown and then Boris and had been with the community since early 2005. As other old school people had attested, I was well liked and active on the forums. I donated to freerolls, staked people, and swapped percentages often in small tourneys.
I met the user, fookame through the forums and found out we was both from the same area around St Joseph, Missouri. We met up on a few occasions for casino trips and posted trip reports on the forums. He was a troll on the forums but seemed to have a lot of money and liked to gamble.
Fookame text me one day saying he wanted to play a huge Sunday Million Tourney and had money on full tilt but didn't have any cash on stars. He said he didn't feel like his name was trustworthy enough to do a swap and asked if I could get someone to do it for him. I asked a few posters that I knew (including China) and asked for a swap for fookame but vouching and putting myself on the line for it. This was my mistake and culpability in what happened.
China shipped the $215 to fookame's account (not mine) on stars. This is the reason I asked China if he could confirm the account the funds were sent to. Fookame told me he was shipping on full tilt and said that the funds had been sent. I thought everything was good, this was just another transaction like we always did back then.
The next day i was contacted by China saying the money was never received. I contacted fookame and asked what the deal was and he said full tilt didn't do the transfer and was requiring him to send in a utility bill and license to confirm his identity. I told China this and still genuinely thought this would be handled.
A few more days passed, and then more and China had asked again about the money (understandably) and I didn't respond. I again contacted fookame who gave me the run around saying he sent in his credentials but full tilt didn't accept it. He stated they said the license wasn't legible enough from where he scanned it etc. Another week went by and I had been ignoring China instead of keeping him in the loop like I should have and fookame had quit responding to me. I was pretty broke at the time as I had a newborn and had a shitty job and couldn't send the $215 to cover my vouch. I was also well aware of how scammers are branded and ridiculed on the forums as I was always in on the roast.
I had my fair share of e-beefs and knew this stupid thing I did would feed infinite ammo to my foes and decided at this time to just duck out and not post anymore. In hindsight I realized how stupid this was but I had let it go so long I decided to stick with it. I went a few years without even viewing the forums.
I talked to fookame almost a year after it happened and he apologized profusely and said he had done e-checks on full tilt that he couldn't cover and his account got locked up. He claimed when he sent China the money, he had it in his account and thought it would go through but because of the amount he tried to transfer they required his credentials and caught him on his e-checks.
That is the true and factual account of what happened. I'm not claiming to be innocent in this at all as I vouched and was responsible for the swap. I also disappeared and avoided the situation instead of telling China what had happened and owning up to it. I never had any intention of rolling someone straight through or pre-medidated a scam of a Sunday million buy in (which I've never played).
