Bill Perkins, one of the wealthiest players in poker, has a squeaky-clean image in the game. He rarely rubs the poker community the wrong way. But, in this case many Twitter followers seemed a little annoyed even after Bill had posted a few more details to the 'alleged scandal' although, the details are still unclear.

Is this allegation any clearer than it was on Saturday?

The problem is: there isn’t any evidence that it’s true. It’s all anecdote, and fake news off the anecdotes. That’s the world we are living in.

I don't believe this is what classifies as 'fake news' given Bill is the one who created this news...maybe I'm wrong. This 'scandal' appears to be between a select few individuals from what I can tell. I need to know more before really developing an opinion.

Yes , Perkins is right , this is the greatest scam ever , Postle gate seems just a joke or a child's prank in comparison to what Jungleman has done recently :)

Merry Christmas Bill Perkins :)

There is a podcast that helped me to understand the details a little bit better (linked below)

If you want, you can skip the first 10 minutes or so, and then the discussion of the issue at hand begins. Bill enters the chat at about the 37-minute mark if I remember right.

It's actually quite good, in my opinion.

Awesome, thank you for sharing that. I didn't know that Daniel Negreanu had a podcast.
