The chipleader in the EPT event in Prague, Fredrik Nygard, is a known hustler who currently lives in Sweden. A few months ago he went to a Swedish newspaper to tell the story about his life and he said he was doing this in order to warn other people about his scamming behaviour.

Fredrik Nygard has a long history of hustling people out of money and it started already at the age of 16 when he used to tell his parents that he needed money for school books when in fact he was gambling away all of his money. At the age of 16 he had already lost over €6000 on his gambling addiction.Read more » EPT Chipleader, Fredrik Nygard, a Swedish/Finish scammer
