Assumptions about a well known poker pro.

I don't think it is just you.

I think hes talking about Gus Hansen, he had apparently had a huge percentage in a lot of the scandi WPT winners. Same for martin Dekniff

I believe William has posted in the past(years ago)that he and Gus go way back and used to play together in underground games around Denmark. So you may very well be correct(and William may very well know something).

bt - this may be your best post ever.

William,

If the pro has a ton of other losing staking deals, then there's a good chance he just got lucky.

If not, then it's almost certainly some pretty weakly disguised tax fraud.

If you really dislike these people, report them to the IRS and make a good chunk of cash!

Also, PLEASE NAME NAMES.

The IRS offers a reward for snitching?

Yes, yes they do.

why would it be IRS - if the US have a double tax treaty with the relevant scandy country it's their Revenue who is losing out not the USA IRS?

Is it just me or does this make zero sense?

It's just you, and yes, the IRS pays for snitches. Proof of wrongdoing strikes me as being difficult in this instance, however: if money flows are big enough for the pro in question, he can easily and plausibly claim to have been in many more staking deals per the discussion above.

FWIW nothing I hate more than snitchers.
