Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers says FTX Meltdown Has âWhiffsâ of Enron-Like Scandal…
Ultimate Bet Scandal Lawyer Daniel Friedberg at Centre of FTX Crypto Crash
The poker world was shocked to learn that one of the main players in the FTX crypto crash is none other than Daniel Friedberg, the attorney who was in it up to his neck in the Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker scandals of the late noughties.

The FTX Disaster
The news broke this week as FTX, once the second-biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, halted withdrawals as investors pulled $6billion in deposits.
This ârun on the bankâ followed rumours and allegations that the Bahamas-based company was basically insolvent, its FTT currency tanking by up to 80% in one day.
Further news that a proposed Binance buyout of FTX was off the cards almost certainly means the end for FTX.
Binance CEO Changpeng âCZâ Zhao tweeted: âAs a result of corporate due diligence, as well as the latest news reports regarding mishandled customer funds and alleged U.S. agency investigations, we have decided that we will not pursue the potential acquisition of FTX.com.â
The UB/AP poker link
Back to the links to poker and it transpires that FTXâs former general counsel and current chief compliance officer is none other than Daniel Friedberg, who was involved in the Ultimate bet scandal and subsequent cover-up.
Friedberg was one of the Ultimate Bet lawyers present at a secretly-recorded meeting in which Ultimate Bet boss Russ Hamilton admitted to cheating and stealing playersâ money.
Some $50million was robbed from other players in the super-user scandal, with Hamilton having âGod-modeâ access to everyoneâs hole cards.
The audio recording, which surfaced in 2013 â five years after the meeting â reveals Friedberg actively conspiring to lie about what had actually happened.
Thieves and Liars
Hamilton is heard on tape telling Friedberg: âI did take this money and Iâm not trying to make it right, Dan, so we gotta get that out of the way right away, real quick.â
Friedberg advises Hamilton to not only claim he was also a victim of the cheating â âotherwise it [the concocted cover-up tale] is not going to flyâ â but also to put out a story that âa former consultant to the company, uh, took advantage of a server flaw by hacking into the client.â

The people at the meeting â Hamilton, Friedberg, Ultimate Bet founder and CEO Greg Pierson, and Friedbergâs fellow UB attorney Sanford Millar â also discussed how much it was going to cost them to repay players and regulatory fines.
âIf we could get it down to five, Iâd be happy,â says Friedberg, advising his fellow cover-up members that it was a realistic figure âdepending how creative we get.â
Poker pro and former November Niner, Cliff Josephy had spotted the Friedberg link several months ago, though few picked up on it until FTXâs blow-up this week…
Anyone know if FTX Regulatory Officer is the same Dan Friedberg who was an attorney at Ultimate Bet during its cheating scandal? If so, surprising that tidbit was omitted from his biohttps://t.co/6PtzHIGSPn pic.twitter.com/T8a1aYKWp6

…with veteran, award-winning journalist Haley Hintze, who reported extensively on the UB/AP scandals back in the day, summing up the news that Friedberg was involved with the recent FTX debacle.
Friedberg got his start in gaming as Hellmuth’s personal attorney, then wormed his way into the heart of UltimateBet’s (and later AP’s, if I remember correctly) legal business. It’s no surprise to see him turn up in something like the FTX scandal. https://t.co/dYA2d2SI2d

The Ultimate Bet scandal is one of the darkest in pokerâs history, and it is unlikely to ever fully go away. Earlier this year we reported on Jungleman Dan Cates calling out Phil Hellmuth for his involvement…
There will undoubtedly be more to come on this breaking FTX/Friedberg story and weâll keep you in the loop right here, so be sure to check in regularly!
Elisheva Weil smells rat and decided its about time to leak a Sex Tape…
Elisheva Weil Nude Sex Scene From âAll Eyes Off Meâ
The video below features Elisheva Weilâs nude sex scene from the film âAll Eyes Off Meâ enhanced in high definition.
This sex scene perfectly illustrates the patheticness of the hopelessly impotent and emasculated infidel males⊠For not only does Elishevaâs co-star meekly thrust his no doubt tiny and crocked manhood into her gaping cock cave in the timid spooning sex position, but he fails to properly choke her despite Elishevaâs best efforts to try and get him to.
You better believe that if this were a virile Crypto man with Elisheva, she would be face down in the pillows getting pounded with her big boob bags bouncing around like crazy⊠And we would need to no prompting to put our powerful hands around her neck and squeeze the air out of her.
