Spidah, the complete story Spinvis
Spidah, a well known player and respected one, turns out to be a scammer?

This was the very first thing people were thinking about him.
It all happened on a dark Thursday afternoon, at August the 30th.
Spidah (IckyThump) was holding the Nevada Race Track for a friend of his, TheOh.

But all of the sudden, the Race Track was being held by someone else, without the permission from TheOh.

Most people then thought Spidah was a backstabber who sold the casino to a person without the original owner's permission. And after all that, Spidah got killed.

His profile quotes: "It's going to happen sooner or later.. IT WAS REQUESTED! SOMETHING CAME UP, SUDDENLY!"

But now the REAL story.
After spoken to Spidah on MSN, he gave me the real facts.
Spidah said to have been previously hacked, he was holding a Bullet Factory back then, and the hacker took all the money off of Spidah's account, sent it to someone, and the Bullet Factory was dropped.

And again, with the Nevada Race Track, he was hacked AGAIN.
The hacker sold the Nevada Race Track to someone for 175 points, and before Spidah could log onto the account to check where the points were sent to, the account was killed.

So people should've checked with the person himself, before having opinions which aren't true. Spidah has never been, and isn't a scammer after all, but just another victim of hacking. "But why has he quit Bootleggers then, instead of making a new account, proving his innocence" Spidah says he's lost many friends because of the hacker, making it impossible for him to gain their trust again, even though it wasn't his fault at all.

My point of view: Spidah was just a victim, with having nothing to do with it. A poor, sad but true story. The end of a good player? Maybe, maybe not.
