Stop implying that AndrewG is Alan Mendelson!

Don't Kill the Messenger.

Rob sent this to me via PM at WOV since it's no longer posting on this Forum. With his permission/ encouragement I'm passing it along here.
Alan Mendelson
"For many months now I have not communicated with Rob Singer because he deceived me. For years he presented himself as a unique video poker player with a system that anyone could follow at any budget level and using that system they would have substantial profits.

But about a year ago, during a breakfast meeting at Red Rock Casino Rob confessed to me that his big winnings didn't come from a system others could also use but from a defect or bug on certain video poker machines that the general public would not be able to access. He confessed that his system and the reports of big wins from his system were just a cover for his manipulation of video poker machines which may have been illegal.

I was duped and misled into reporting on wins that never happened; I was duped and misled to presenting a system using videos that in fact did not produce the results that were claimed.

Rob Singer has also misrepresented to you what went on preceding an extensive video shoot at Caesars Palace. This was our second video shoot and Rob wanted to observe and offer guidance on Bonus Poker. He told you on this forum that he watched me go through $500 after $500 playing double double bonus poker. He told you I was stressed with losing and losing. But in reality I played only a short time with a small start of only $300 and he sat beside me discussing the various hands and offering advice. Quite frankly I'm surprised Rob chose this event to post about on the forum because I also wrote about that session on this forum. It was a short session because then Rob and my son who was the cameraman went up to our room with me for the shoot.

If Rob Singer watched some player feverishly losing thousands of dollars it wasn't me.

Because I now know that Rob Singer misrepresented strategy a being the engine behind his success I have deleted his pages from the index of my website.

When he told me at that breakfast meeting that his winnings really came from manipulating machines I asked him for proof and he said he had no proof. I will let you decide what you want to believe.

Alan Mendelson"

He denies being Andrew. I don't know, and I don't really care.

Hey axel, you mean a PM that Alan sent you at WoV I presume, not me right?

The untrue part about all that is I told him very clearly that I DID in fact use my strategy successfully for those first 4 years thru early 2004--just as I've said here many times. And, he absolutely did feverishly pump constant money thru that Caesars machine and constantly count what remained every time he did--with a terrified look on his face--exactly as I said. Denial of this is all he has.

I've already told you, him, mickey and everyone else that I chose to deceive everyone about continuing to play my play strategy during the 5-1/2 years I played the double up glitch. I disclosed it to Gaming Today right after I told you, since that was my method of reaching players. But Alan felt "deceived"? Only if he was trying to make money off of me somehow, which is entirely possible with him. Other than that, he was no different than anybody else.

A shame he bothered you with his nonsense. Now that I'm finally explaining how I've always known about his sickness with the poker machines and craps tables and the awful financial and personal problems he's had all along--which every forums member but me always openly accused him of having--I guess this is his way of trying to mitigate the truth. His and ANDREW'S.

Alan's created a tough environment for himself.

Correct, he sent me a few messages at wizard of Vegas. It seems like he wanted someone to know his side of the story. He said I could post anything I wanted from the private messages since it was the truth. I told him I wasn't going to be posting bits and pieces, however, if he wanted to write something up, I would pass it along.

I told him there was quite a few coincidences and some fair circumstantial evidence that made me believe he was Andrew, he said that was not the case, and that he only found out about Andrew because someone said something on Twitter(or something like that, I don't exactly remember). As I said before.... I don't care if he's Andrew or not, it doesn't bother me(under certain circumstances I don't think there's anything wrong with having a new identity as long as someone's not using it for nefarious reasons or using it to support their arguments or whatever). As far as the rest of the stuff goes, I think it's good to always hear both sides, and that, I do care about.

I'm all about some banter and razzing, but I don't like when things get too serious or personal between anyone. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in it and not actually realize just how serious things have gotten. Hope you guys can Work It Out one way or the other.
