Full Tilt Poker Account - Fraud Activity Investigation

KingNeo · #1 04-13-2007, 07:50 AM

As many of you know my screen name on Full Tilt Poker is NMDynasty. My account is currently undergoing a Fraud investigation for unauthorized activity.

I do not want to get into the specifics of the case currently as I will let the Full Tilt Fraud team investigate the matter.

Essentially what happened was my computer was stolen and my account was logged into. Approximately $70,000-$80,000 was dumped onto the tables.

I have recently taken shots at some of the bigger games so this will make the investigation slightly more complex, however it should be EXTREMELY apparent that I was not playing on the account during the time of the fradulent activity.

I was able to get the HHs of the hands played and it is EXTEMELY obvious it was not me playing. There are even several hands of 100/200 PLO in which the person was going all in preflop with garbage hands for $4,000 stacks at a time. Completely inconsistent with my normal account activity considering I never play PLO.

Full Tilt has been professional to this point dealing with this case. Hopefully things get resolved and justice is served.

I plan to update this thread as I receive information. I have choosen to make this public as there are many of you with $10,000s-$100,000s in your Full Tilt accounts. I want to make sure everyone is as protected as possible.

Fifth, I don't see how you're getting any of this money back.

Yes and I am unable to go to sleep. I am not sure when I will be able to sleep. I have emailed Full Tilt a few times now and have received some responses. They seem to be working on the matter but I constantly refresh my email.

This sucks dude. I really do feel bad for you and i hope Full Tilt is able to locate you're funds and get your money back to you. But if your funds cashed out, i hope you don't expect FT to take a loss here. This clearly is your fault and if the money is gone it's gone.

This may be a problem for you. I'm sure it's apparent that you weren't playing normally but how is FT to know that you aren't doing this as part of an elaborate scam? Or that you weren't just really drunk? I'm not throwing accusations here but what i am saying is how can FT be 100% sure?

Anyway, i really do hope this all works itself out. It's probably a good thing you posted this because hopefully it will inspire some people to protect themselves.

out of curiosity was it a desktop or laptop?

did you have pw saved option checked?

best of luck, from what I've seen of FTP investigation team they seem rational enough and should resolve your matter in a good fashion.

Anyone called bullsh1t yet? How do they know you didn't dump the money to a friend?

If the theft happened, I think Ivey did it. Payback for your short-stacking him...

this sucks, condolences... however it would be interesting to know if the felon is caught by law enforcement whether you have the right to pursue a claim for the dumped funds? Im guessing that if its a joyrider case you arent going to get anything back via FTP?

One weird part of your story is that if your computer was stolen, I'd expect you to change your Full Tilt password from another computer immediately.

Also, the posts in BBV are really messed up.

Edit-- Another thing that doesn't make sense is that the guy playing on your account took shortstacking seriously. Each time he doubled up, he left immediately. WTF? I watched the tables while I wrote a paper last night. If he was just "joyriding," wouldn't he wanna stay for a while with more money on the table?
