Poker Pros get conned in online swap scam

A cautionary tale for poker professionals looking to trade account funds for digital currencies for poker account funds. Two users, James Romero and an unidentified user using the nickname Gravydas, were conned.

Gravydas incurred a $20,000 loss from his American Cardroom account that was played out online. Both the users had a passion for trading their account funds for digital currencies.

One of the more interesting scams I’ve ever seen in poker- curious what other people think regarding who is responsible for lost funds. To anyone who is lackadaisical when sending 2nd in transaction I think you could benefit from reading about this scamhttps://t.co/BqP1RzSiKA
