Mr. Raymer did not call him a crook. He said he would have but decided to just ignor him.

This is not confirmed. It is only alleged that he "ran off with the cash". It may even be popular opinion that this took place. However, it is not fact.

I'm not taking sides on the issue. I'm simply trying to be fair to Mr. Boyd.

There are simply too many sleazy stories about this guy floating around for it all to be false. Where there's smoke, there's fire. His excuse about PokerSpot doesn't ring true.

Well, what are the facts? He ran pokerspot.com. It didn't do well. He didn't return any money to depositors on the site.

Where did the money go? Who else could run off with it if not him? If anyone should be losing money, it should be the investors, not the people depositing money on his site. From what I know of the situation, he has been less than forthcoming on what really happened. If it was just a failed business venture, then he should be upfront about it.

What's beyond dispute is that Dutch ran pokerspot and when it ran into huge trouble, he repeatedly misled depositors about the status of their cash-out requests. He is a liar and an idiot who cost many people a lot of money. Whether he's a thief in addition isn't quite clear. But how much does it matter?
