We have already covered this. I disagree that in order for it to be a scam he has to profit.

This guy is delusional. He is a wealthy dude, who enjoys gambling, losing and getting the comps accorded to a losing player. Nothing wrong with that. But when he alters the facts by omitting the losing and posting day by day accounts of nothing but winning, for 7 months now on this trip, multiple trips that he posted about at WoV prior to this one and claims to have been winning for 20 years, it is a scam. When someone lies once or twice, so be it. When they do so over and over and over, on a daily basis, with the intent to deceive, that is my definition of a scam.

Now let's dig a little deeper. You seem to read most of his posts mission. Do you see ALL the references and links and clips to movies and TV shows? This guy has lost touch with reality. He doesn't know what is real and what is fantasy or TV/Movies. He has rolled his delusions into one big James Bond like creation. He needs this attention. And that need will always escalate, by him making bigger and grander claims, just as he has done.

I will also say, the "silencing" of Shackleford, with a payoff and making Shackleford sign a document not to disclose what Mdawg is doing, elevates this fantasy to a "scam".

Mission, since you seem to pop out for days even weeks at a time, are you aware that about a month ago, maybe longer now, Shackleford actually posted what he saw and what he thought? Mdawg immediately threatened Shackleford because of this non-disclosure agreement and Mike retracted everything and symbolically suspended himself. Whatever is going on between these two, for whatever reason, money paid or not, elevates this situation to a "scam", especially occurring on a forum that was based on the mathematics of gambling at its inception. God knows what that forum has become.
