Gavin Griffin Exposed

Well its about time some poker gossip hit the airwaves. It has been a little quiet since the online kids JJprodigy and ZeeJustin got busted. Here is another story that is unfolding all over the internet about poker professional Gavin Griffin. This story is bizarre, embarassing, and outright hilarious. Check out why Gavin Griffin was found with his pants down.

The story was found in the NeverwinPoker forums and here are some of the excerpts:

I was playing in a mid-day 11 rebuy tournament on Stars. My avatar is/was a decently attractive blonde, hot but not hot enough to not be a real girl. Regardless, at my opening table, I see the screen name WSOP2004 and a picture of Gavin.

We started chatting it up, and he assumed I was a real girl. Of course, all the railbirds were saying stuff like "she's probably some 40 year old dude trying to scam money, etc." but I played it off very well. He ended up giving me his screen name (griff98199) and told me I should IM him sometime. Already having the scam in my head, I decided I would see if it was worth anything, being ecstatic if I even got a c-note off of him since I could tell the story to my friends.

I told him my name was Ashley Rannebarger, from Columbus, OH. I told him that I was 22, and that I was an aspiring model at some agency here in Columbus. He asked me which one, so I google'd one up and told him. He asked me for more pics of me, so I started freaking out. I knew that if I didn't send more pictures this was basically a bust. Since I'd pulled my avatar pic off of some random porn site I was browsing, I just put it on there. I started frantically searching my roomate's hard drive for pictures of blonde girls, and lo and behold, the cocksucker got some girl to send him like 6 studio pictures of a blonde who had a striking resemblance to the one in my avatar. I sent him all the pics, and he really started to believe it was me.

I find it real amusing that somebody would actually fall for something like this. It's also real crazy that this guy had come up with this plan to screw Gavin Griffin.

I told him that I only had about $150 in my poker account and that the rent was overdue and I had no way of paying it. He asked about the modelling agency and why I wasn't getting paid from them, and I told him that during the summer the agency is completely booked and it's really hard to get a gig, and he fell for that one, too.

So after assuring him I wasn't into him for his money, telling him I'd pay him back as soon as possible, etc, he transferred me $1000, and told me it wasn't that big of a deal. Really fucking weird, but whatever. I played for another day and then transferred the entire $1000 back to him, knowing that this would instill confidence in me.

Here is the first of two emails that Gavin Griffin sent to this guy:

Hey sweetheart. Just wanted to write to say hi! I got your transfers, but I was thinking the backing deal would be going for longer... NBD though, hopefully you can do something with the money you have in there now. I'm not gonna be on tonight, but I'll talk to you soon. Write me back.

Gavin

You better like these!

I don't have time to resize the images now, but I uploaded them, and should you DESIRE to look at another man's penis, here is the link to the photo album...If you DO go to the site, notice the file names. I didn't doctor these, and so it's apparent that those aren't the ONLY pictures he took of his beaster, and apparently didn't take them that night just for "Ashley." Sick fuck. ASDASD

Moving on...after he sent me those, what was I supposed to do? I played it off like I liked it. Once again, call me sick, but...I say fuck you, I was hustling. He then sent me $3000 in one fell swoop, saying that we would sign an "e-agreement." In this agreement, I was expected to pay him back when I could, I couldn't steal the money, I was liable for the money...a fucking e-agreement? HAHAHAHA. So, after he transferred me that, I quit talking to him for like 4 days.

Can you believe this! Gavin Griffin sends this dude pictures of his penis. Hahaha. Man oh man what an embarassment. All in all this kid got $6500 out of Gavin
Griffin to continue is PokerParty and he has images that he is posting all over the internet. That is the worst, and I wonder how Gavin Griffin is feeling about having this story come out to the public.
