In an interview with iGaming.org, Daniel Cates, alias Jungleman, indicated that he was victim of a scam by 1, $9M.
The player in question to him stealing is David Lerner, alias PerkySkmerky, that describes Jungleman as was "the biggest bastard of history".
All started when both players have agreed to compete on tables heads-up $ 3 / $ 6 while arranging to ensure that issues are 100 times bigger. The first session Jungleman has lost $ 460,000, amount that Cates has "sent snap" after losing.
During the second session, Jungleman has completely destroyed Lerner for an amount of 1, 1 M$.
After waiting a bit, Jungleman had nothing received. He finally decided to call him and, to his surprise, he has still received $ 250,000. It was still much less than the amount owed.
Jungleman concludes by mentioning that if Lerner had to pay him all of what he owes, the amount would be 1. $9M.
Another person who Jungleman will never again trust is Joe "BigEgypt" Elpayaa.
When Cates was in Vegas while he was 20 years old (legal age for playing in Vegas casinos is 21 years) he won a pot of $ 10,000 against this player. A little tuned to have lost, Elpayaa brought out Jungleman from the table because he was a minor. In this way, it would have lost about $ 30,000
The error of Daniel is told that player that his name was Jungleman online.
Regarding the "Durrrr challenge" that drags for too long already, Jungleman says that this is not really the Black Friday which has delayed it as durrrr not played more long long already.
In his words, Dwan has good intentions, but is extremely irresponsible. According to their system, Dwan should pay him $ 40,000 penalty for each 2 months that he's not playing. If the delay is even longer, the penalty should increase.
Still, he said that Dwan meets 75% of its messages, which is more than the majority of people in this situation.
As a reminder, Dwan had offered from 3:1 to any player who wants the player heads up, except Phil Galfond. The challenge should play on the tables of $ 200 / $ 400 on 50,000 hands. If Dwan was losing $ 1 or more after playing all of these hands, Dwan should pay 1, 5 M$ to his opponent.
According to Dwan, Ivey who had guaranteed this 1, 5M is $, but Cates has not confirmed with Ivey. Jungleman considers frustrating not to continue to play what he sees as the biggest freeroll in the history.
As to the amount that Cates would like to receive to set this story without continuing the challenge, it lies above a million dollars to his mind.
