The actors in this story are Daniel "jungleman12" Cates, DogIsHead on Twoplustwo and José Macedo (there may be others, but for the moment we do not have this information).

Recently, Cates was intending to move to the Canada to go join his friend Phil Galfond and legally play poker online. On the other hand, small glitch, it was repressed at the Canadian border with no visa. After this new, Cates would have announced a new plan: move to Lisbon (at the Portugual) with his two friends, the "Prodigy" José Macedo and DogIsHead.

Recently, DogIsHead announced on Twoplustwo that this project fell to the water. He explains: "we could never have imagined José do such a thing." It is obvious that Daniel Cates and myself change our plans and not emménagerons to Portugal with him".

In turn, José lost his partnership with Lock Poker and Poker Strategy.

For what reason? What did José Macedo to have lost the confidence of his two friends? He stole them $ 30,000. He even confessed to his crime. It is today committed to repay them and compensate them.

During one of their 'Sweat Sessions' (sessions skype with friends where looking at 1 of the three players play in commenting on and discussing strategy), José had suggested to several of his friends to confront a "fish", or "Sauron1989" (which is perhaps its nickname online, we do not know yet). According to Macedo when he confessed his acts, "Sauron1989" would be one of his friends.

It is MossBoss which has released the new, who reportedly lost 20K while another victim lost 10K. Are there other victims? Is it a frame-up? That is true in this story and that is not?

Has it really been a Portuguese prodigy?

The case becomes more complicated. Probably time will allow us to clarify this new.
