Lot of scumbags these days, having the gall to show their faces again, like Lederer. Like, do these guys think people will just forgive and forget? Oh well, karmas a bitch, and if they don't pay for what they did in this life, they will in the next.

A lot of wealthy people forgive and forget what guys like this have done to a bunch of little people or that's how they think. I know this because I've dealt with millionaires first hand out in Vegas. This was mostly through realestate deals, but I learned a lot as to how they feel toward the less fortunate. Another experience that really pizzed me off while on vacation in Miami I met two of Donald Trump's Pilots. They are so arrogant making statements like, Wonder what the poor people are doing today? and crap like that. It's sick how some wealthy people are and act.
Sorry to go off and not all wealthy people are like this, but I've met some real azzholes.

As retribution has said Karma will catch up with him. I should imagine someone, like Gus Hansen, will take the bastard to the cleaners and finish him of with pocket 2's against his Aces and flop Quads. We can only but hope.
Personally I would refuse to play with him. Surely people do have some sense of responsibilty in this game - or is that where I am going wrong?

GL all................
Well if he walked up to my table and sat down I would not know who he was. I have no idea what he looks like. I guess that means I would end up playing him. I would only hope the card gods would be good to me. Perhaps they would use me to punish him a little bit

Posted by pinku135: Russ Hamilton !!!! A notable name In the world of poker for cheating !!
I have read about this guys scandal !! He truly must not be let to play poker again .. it is sick how come such a person is let to play ...
Merry Christmas Good luck at the tables
I agree he should be banned for life from playing online or in any live casino venue. The problem as I see it is simple, if all I know is his name and have no clue what the slimball looks like then I could potentially play against him and not even know it. The casino management is the ones who need to inforce a ban against him and if they dont care then he is gonna play somewhere.

well maybe he is banned at some of the rooms (live ones)- but just as the OP said- he has a share in the establishment, so in other words he is a co-owner. therefore he can set his own rules how things go in this place- i would be very careful if someone offered me to play there, knowing the reputation of the owner, i doubt there are any "clean" games there

you might be correct on that score pochui given his reputation as a cheat and a low life scum bag. I know I would not trust him as a business partner. I sometimes wonder what the heck people think about when they consider business partnerships.
Oh well it is there problem if he rips them off. If he does I personally will have no simpathy for them since they are continuing to work with him.
