You can form your own opinion, but these are the facts and unless indicated they are not contested as far as I know. I am not posting this to judge - except on one point. I am mostly posting to alert anyone considering doing business with the perp. Not alleged perp...perp.
About 21 weeks into a 32-week in-house BCAPL Vegas trip league in OKC area, LO Ted Massey skipped town with all of the league's $$$, ~$7000. Also reported to have emptied the till from two bars he managed. Also reported to have left a new wife, 5 month old baby and 3 other dependents, leaving only a short note and $100. Last two items reported to me by reliable sources close to the incident.
Again, form your own judgements on the domestic situation. But I'm passing judgment on someone who screws a bar owner and 96 poll players out of thousands of $$$.
Fortunately, the owner can afford to make good on Vegas entry fees earned and a little help with travel. But the remainder of the payback for the non-nationals players is gone.
It's mostly a tight league of loyal players, and about 90% + are sticking by the owner to finish out the session and start anew next session. From what I understand criminal charges are being considered but remaining family members involvement in league may complicate that situation. Unfortunately a civil remedy is almost certainly pissing in the wind. Still being considered though.
Shame on us as league members for falling asleep at the switch concerning BCAPL dues, which were absconded with and were never paid to Henderson. We are still waiting to hear from BCAPL to see if that situation can be rectified so the innocent duped can still play at nationals.
Personal recommendation...stay away from Ted Massey. Reported to currently be in CO.
If he chooses to somehow rectify the situation, I will report back. Not holding my breath.
