You hold yourself as the absolute arbiter of truth. To be trusted without a second thought. Whether you like it or agree with it, the Cmoney debacle is a stain on your reputation. Many long time members here still hold it against you.
Go ahead and insert that I’m not in a position to judge anyone blah blah blah. I’m not the owner of a fraud site nor do I represent myself as you do yourself so that point is retarded. But insert here like you were going to anyways
Yes, the cancer thing was the entire part of what I explained in my last post above. As I said, it's all in the threads about the matter from 2018, and I deleted none of it. There's no point for "revisionist history" because people can go back and read it whenever they want.
Cmoney first was asking my advice for what to do about real-life harassment he was receiving, related to the forum. I gave him some advice. At no time did he tell me he was going to fake cancer.
Then he posted that he had cancer, and right after that, texted me and explained that he did it in order to pretty much write an exit story for himself. I wasn't happy with this and wouldn't have allowed it, had he asked me beforehand. That's presumably why he did it without asking me.
He then asked me to not call it out as BS, telling me that there would be tremendous fallout for such a thing, and the person or people harassing him would feel emboldened to fuck with him even more. As annoyed as I was about this, I decided not to interfere, as calling it out would do more damage than him just quietly leaving the site to "fight skin cancer". At the same time, I was not going to lie to anyone. I just didn't comment on it, which should have spoken volumes. Under no circumstances was I going to back this, and I told him that.
Then he stepped it up to the death thing (again, without my knowledge), and at the absolute worst time when I had the sudden and crippling mental health issues in August of that year. That part I knew required a response and I couldn't just sit by and say nothing. However, I had to figure out the best way to do it, and I had to figure out exactly what to say/do. I definitely wasn't going to lie about this either, so I was trying to figure out what to do, and he revealed it on his own anyway.
As I said, not a simple situation or decision whatsoever, given everything going on, and his longstanding generosity to the radio freerolls and buyins for other members to WSOP events.
Some people cited that I said nothing because he bought a large piece of a $10k event I played that year. However, the WSOP packages always sell out, so I would have had those pieces sold either way -- just not to him. Feel free to check the sales of my past WSOP packages, if you don't believe this.
The situation was unfortunately a blight on PFA history, and I regret that it happened. There's nothing more I can say.
