Almost no one will steal if this law which i said... would be promulgated all over the planet. We have in front with a lot of companies that want to make money from us, but safety where it is. At ATM, if someone steals your money, bank does not pay damage, even if it is their fault.

Why is it a good job? You like to scam or see other thieves when they steal? I don't agree with something like that because it's not normal. In some countries a man can live with $ 20,000 for 3-4 years. If you lose an amount like this, you accept the situation with an identical comment like here?

In third world countries can live with this money 20,000 dollars, but it is normal that no one steals from you. These players, even if they have money... are a little upset, because have been fooled by a internet thief. Anyway, don't know if he'll be caught.

A few years ago, China had very low retributions in rural areas. People earned less than 100 dollars per month, but it was enough for them. That was slavery of course and people from there were satisfied to some extent. Communism... is guilty. People steal because need money for eat and their families.

We must be very careful when we make use of our money through third parties that are not trustworthy, or that do not give us confidence, these players lack more experience in these matters, because if we are not aware the theft can be much greater in later years, and sometimes in these cases one must learn not to fall into error again ...

I don't transfer money to anyone. Anyway, my level is not the same like these two players. I do not understand why these combinations are accepted without consent of administrators? Many poker rooms must change that rule.
