Default Biggest fish in high stakes games?

we all know guys like guy laliberte or the tourney winners like jamie gold who come and dump off a couple hundred grand, but who are the biggest cash game losers that are regulars, not everyone can win, I know money comes up, all the way from the 1/2 players who take shots at 5/10 and lose to the guys who take shots at 10/20 who lose, etc, etc, but who are some of the high stakes losers? farha seems to lose a ton, i'd imagine daniel alaei or sheikhan, some of the foreign guys are from rich families and dump off a lot, who are some of the big losers you know of? cuz they arent all making dough

Online poker is a huge pyramid scam. Everyone is winning (until the whole thing collapses on itself).

This i know about shawn:

Sheikhan’s family arrived in the States with only $30,000. His father bought a little gas station in San Jose, and commuted from Santa Cruz for several years to operate it. The family eventually moved to San Jose, where Shawn went to high school. Then they moved to Las Vegas, but Shawn didn’t like it there, because by this time, he had friends in San Jose. So he moved back. His father bought another gas station, and Shawn managed it for him there. But he finally returned to Las Vegas in 1995 to follow business pursuits and be closer to his family.


Sheikhan now owns a chain of six retail stores in Las Vegas called Diversity. They are smoke shops that sell other items also, like shoes, clothing, and novelties, and are well known for tattoos and piercings. He’s currently negotiating a commercial real estate deal for a piece of property where he plans on building a strip mall with another Diversity store anchoring it, while leasing out the rest of the property. He’s also invested in other residential and commercial real estate, doing quite well over the past 10 years.

Just look on the high stakes db at the biggest losers over the last 4 months and see which names are always on there. That should give you some clue.
