Guy who killed himself over epass?
 

Can someone please tell people who missed this the story?

This really happened?? He couldn't wait for Oct 7th? lol

I believe he had a poker rakeback site and ended up with 6 figures frozen in epass that were meant to pay the players. That and some 'personal issues' made him pull the trigger.

If you believe it at all, fill yer boots!

Fuck that sucks if true.

he had some big cash there and he needed access if i remember good, and you know what is a story about epass cash, frozen...

Seems like it could be legit, sucks. Thanks for the info.

damn thats pretty fucked up i cant beleive i missed that...

That's what I had seen.

:(

Yeah that's real funny huh. Even for this board that is pretty heartless.

maybe he had all his money on epass.... ridiculous, I know! but there´s always someone...

Was it just me or did ePassporte word their invention of the wallet feature as though it couldn't send payments in such a way most people didn't use it?

Sad if its true :(

unfortunately...its true.

me neither, i checked almost every epass thread but totally missed that thread. Damn :(

Wow, that's truly tragic. I know this ePass nightmare affected a lot of workers in the Philippines who had no bank accounts and kept their salaries on their cards. But damn that is really sad that he felt there was no other way out. May he rest in peace.

lol, you have got to be kidding? Based on what freaking bit of evidence in this thread other than pure speculation and rumour generated by genius trolls?

The french poker forums he posted at all were talking about it also. The obituary was found online at the local papers website.

people have died for less, seems legit to me

That is unfortunate. It is too risky to gamble. It is better to barter, buy and sell items for reasonable values and prices.

Ok... then certainly there is a link to the story or the obit? Show me something that is not hearsay. Somewhere? Anywhere? Anything?

Regardless... even if it is true... gamblers commit suicide over losing cash all the time; how is epass the "cause"?

So far, to my mind, this still has all the hallmarks of urban myth and not fact.

It is a real tragedy of this whole ePassporte debacle ? one that will never be forgotten.

"TheDA" previously posted this link above which shows the obituary:

who did your banner?

People having no choice other than suicide is always sad news but the thread title should be "Guy who killed himself over gambling debts that had some of his money locked in epassporte". It is just sensationalism to blame epassporte for his suicide.

Gambling is high risk. Everybody knows that. Epassporte should not be used for gambling monies.

epassporte + people using it to distribute gambling income = no epassporte for anybody.

From what I read, he seemed to have a lot of issues on top of him at once, this was the final straw. Not the fault of epass, he obviously was a little unstable and couldn't handle the pressure. A lot of pressure, no doubt.

I did see an article about it and some other material that made me believe it was real and not an urban legend. I'm sure one of the resident detectives will drum up the information.

Sad. Definately.
