Galfond Outs Scammer Publicly

Posted 8 years ago

So recently Phil Galfond decided to go to Poker News and have them write an article about a player who scammed him out of $250k. The cliffs

- Lent a whale called Samuel Touli $250k
- Didn't get it back
- Outed him publicly.

Now the issue is why is Galfond allowed this platform and no one else is? Many people like Shaun Deeb who is considered the most trust worthy man in poker have been denied such a chance.

PokerTube recently wrote a full article which you can read and enjoy Here.

I personally think outing people should be left to you doing it personally on say a forum and that a news publication should not decide who gets to do what.

By the end of the article they get around to making it more newsworthy by highlighting the universal nature of the problem, they prob should have led with that.

Funniest line of the article: "I must admit that this kind of news is getting more than a little tiresome." Yet they give us 1000 words on it!
