Internet phenom accused of cheating conspiracy

08/27/2010

Currently generating a tremendous amount of heated online poker message board discussion (the last time we checked the 2plus2 thread was 42 pages long) is an allegation that puts internet poker phenom Sorel Mizzi under the spotlight again.

Started on August 20 at http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61/mtt-community/alleged-chatlog-between-sorel-thorladen-857685/ this long and highly speculative thread discusses alleged plans by Mizzi and others to use deceptive software in order to multi account in internet tournaments.

It's not the first time that Mizzi has been accused of questionable conduct, but he has vigorously defended himself, saying that IM transcripts claiming to illustrate the plot have been fabricated from a number of conversations with others over a protracted time span in an attempt to blackmail him.
