Inside the Life of a High Stakes Fish

Former Payment Processor, Alleged Scam Artist, Soft Spot at HUSNG Tables

Anybody remember ginette22? His SNG action was on Full Tilt mostly. Dropped 80k+ to riyyc225, about 40k to Buzdovan, another 33k to 369TBAGZ, 20k to PrimordialAA and 10k+ to several other regs (Hosni, Sifosis, WagDodge).

An interesting article about him in the Salt Lake City Tribune. Also a thread discussing said article on twoplustwo's News, Views and Gossip Forum.

He supposedly lost about a million dollars lifetime, and that's just including tracking site data, which may not be accurate for cash game data (so likely larger if anything).

I just found this stuff a good read, since it's not often that we can see who the biggest losers in this game are. Obviously Guy lost a ton originally and seemed to single handedly keep those nosebleed FTP games going for years. People like Guy (when he started out, he got a lot better over the years) and ginette can really lose amounts that go a long way in this game.

I've always wondered where

I've always wondered where the money comes from up there. This doesn't make me feel any better, knowing that some of it comes from people who have been 'scammed' out of their money :)

I agree. Though you could probably say that about taxes too if you look at how the money is spent ;)(at least around here, Chicago)

Oh wow, that's quite a lot of money.The numbers in the OP were strictly from HUSNGs and on his main FTP account. I assume he lost a bunch more in cash and/or on other accounts?
