Lock Poker Pursuing Legal Action Against Jose MacedoFormer Site Pro Admitted to Scamming Players |
|
Less than two weeks after Lock Poker dropped Jose ‘Girah’ Macedo as a sponsored pro, the online site announced it is now “pursuing legal action” against the alleged “Portuguese Prodigy.”
Eric Lynch, Lock Poker Room Manager, announced to the poker community: “Lock is currently pursuing legal action against Jose so we are unable to make a substantial comment at this time. We do realize that ongoing silence can lead to people jumping to conclusions. What happened goes against the very core of our player based philosophy and we intend on exercising our legal rights in the most severe degree. We will keep you updated as things progress.”
Earlier this month, Macedo admitted to defrauding players via Skype and consequently saw his LockPRO contract terminated and his account banned permanently.

Unless I misunderstood, the poker player Jose Macedo is accused of misbehaving within the poker community. He allegedly committed a heinous crime.
If this is so, then, the axe should fall on him. And there should be no mercy toward him.

What crime did he commit? If he committed a crime, then he should be investigated by the police and charged by government prosecutors in Portugal, or the US, or both. The last I checked, "Lock Poker" is not the police. It is just another in the long list of crooked online poker sites. Nothing will come of this.
