MAJOR POKER SCAM: The $450,000 Con Artist
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 апр 2024
- This is the story of Dustin Aab, a "hustle culture" Instagram influencer who promised big returns and easy money. All he needed was hundreds of thousands of dollars of your cash. Unfortunately for Ethan Yau @RampagePoker , who lost $450k in the scheme, it was all a big lie.

Rampage should have been smart with that money. He could have invested it in Mikki's Baccarat system.
then soon he will have enough millions to bankroll airball... the path is clear for you Rampage
Lmao 🤣
Derrpage is not smart. He’s an Asian degenerate so he deserves to get screwed
Bro that’s just not right. U know it. Mikki isn’t selling his Baccarat system. He couldn’t even put a price on it bc it’s so valuable
Your first warning when buying baccarat system is does the guy know the correct pronunciation of baccarat, Micki still doesn't. Still the most hilarious comment ever said on a Hustler broadcast was Bart Hanson calling Micki a world class baccarat player. That was the day I realized Hanson was a blithering idiot.
Easiest thing is to just never have enough money to lend out. That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it. Great video, thanks.
Same here! thats been my angle for years. I also shoot for robbers being so struck with pitty, they actually come and give me something.
we don't care, this isn't about you and your hypothetical situations
@@slowery43you speak for yourself…..I care , so there …
Did you not see the joke? 🙄🙄🙄🙈🙈🙈
@@slowery43damn bro who hurt you 😂😂
This warning is definitely needed in the poker world. Good work Doug!
If you need a warning not to make a $450K personal loan, you are missing a few brain cells.
People have been lending big amounts of money in the poker community for the longest
Also people have been getting robbed in poker for the longest
And still here we are in 2023 and the only thing that has changed are the numbers getting bigger
This is common sense, Nevwr lend a large amount to a " STRANGER" EVER. Lesson learned. You dont even lend a family member this much unless you know they can pay it back and then have it all I'm written and notarized by your lawyer.. Rampage just is a kid who had no idea what he's doing even on the poker scene. In proud he went from 1-3 to large games but his style is gonna make him broke within 3yrs.
I mean its advice to use common sense, what was rampage thinking, seriously, not loaning that moron half a mil seems pretty easy
I don’t think it is. 30 maybe one or two people on earth stupid enough to send a guy like this $450,000. One of them happens to be a rampage.
Finally he unlocked the “get scammed” badge. Now he’s officially a pro.
... most underrated comment of all time. 🎯
"ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED"
Rampage logic: Had too much money in my bank account so I had to find a way to punt it away...
Goes to show you, book smarts and street smarts are very very fuckin real
He always finds a way. On the felt or not lol
Deck can't bail him out with this one
Why victim blame, when he came forth to protect other people?
@@camela9627 why? Because anyone who ever makes the statement “I had too much money in my bank account so I decided to put a gigantic chunk on black” deserves whatever happens to them. Especially after seeing who he decided to give the money to I mean look at that dude. Any red flags at all lol?
You can't fix stupid. Kudos to Rampage for speaking out.
If you lend money to a guy who looks like THIS... there is really no remedy.
If some guy needs to buy veneers, and he's supposed to be rich already, that's a beyond a red flag.
I'm gonna give Rampage the benefit of the doubt, and believe that he missed Dustin saying he paid $9600 for liposuction, publicly, on IG 🤡
Yep. That's always the first thing people do when they come into money. My dad got a 900k retirement package, first thing he did got veneers.
Recognizing a scammer before (s)he scams you is the one true skill a gambler needs.
all facts.
Assume everyone is scamming you!! Especially the closest one to you when you have money!!
Dude, if you can't recognise someone asking you to borrow money to play poker as a scam, you deserve to lose your money.
"I think money is a phone" and "Look I'm sitting in a car that isn't moving" are pure works of art. He should have went into photography.
Should have went
Don’t forget how much he paid to rent that fake jet to take pictures in
I would never hand over any fraction of my networth to somebody that looks broker than myself. Flaunting petty materialistic crap on social media is a HUGE red flag. Sucks rampage fell into the trap. He worked hard for that money! Smh i hope he can recoup some of it back atleast.
Dude looks like a real tool bag
Not hard, But skillfully gained!!
You keep getting better at this comedy style reporting 😂😅😊
Good job Doug 👍 Thanks for working extra hard to bring the people cutting edge poker related news.
Doug fucking puts the work in let's honor this dude
i like your poker face. perfect transition from sarcasm to real talk. not easy to notice the switch, very entertaining. now, im going to binged watch all your videos. keep doing what you doing Doug!
"It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money."
I'll never understand these clowns who loan out hundreds of thousands of dollars with nothing more than a verbal agreement to pay it back.
Did you watch any of the video they have a contract with 1 month left
@charlesbrrr lmao if that's not legally binding with any sort of collateral in play it's completely irrelevant. He has no legal avenue to get his money back therefore he's an idiot
@@ddddsasawwfdwafaw That contract doesnt mean shit legally.were lawyers present when it was signed?
Its relative, 100k is life changing for me but for them it is like me loaning 1k/$100 bucks to someone.
Like a contract is proof against bankruptcy. Al he needs to do is file BK.
Once again Daddy Doug teaching us all a valuable lesson...
Don't loan money to gamblers.
🤣
Poker is a beautiful game but it unfortunately attracts some of the worst people society has to offer.
like any other vice
beautiful game ? LOL
It's still gambling.
Thank you for coming back Doug. I’m happy you had a break from uploading. You deserve it man and keep it up!
What rampage should offer is this, all the money raised for the fight goes to Ethan no matter what. If scumbag wins debt is off, if Ethan wins Debt is lowered by what he thinks would entice this POS to take the bait. Then all of us poker fans pay to watch and even if we can get 50,000 people to pay $10 to watch Ethan rearrange the crooks new teeth in his face he would be ahead.
No thanks Jake Paul
I wouldn't break the paywall for the wsop, but i may for this!
$10 for a one punch fight, not good value.
@@pseudonayme7717 why not? You are supporting Ethan regardless. You are probably the guy in tight skinny jeans why eye shadow and a Starbucks in your hand right at this very moment. But can't fathom supporting a poker player that needs support.
@@707ridah are you the beta or the OF girl in your pic?
“Lipo 9500” “got the shirt” lol top notch investigation
5:21 he didn’t get a $9,600 dollar shirt from the brand Lipo… he got a liposuction procedure for $9,600 😂
Perhaps your best video EVER! Way to go Doug!! I have always wondered about loans between players, seemingly done with no paperwork, just a verbal conversation. Agree, much thanks to Rampage to going public on this scammer.
Case people haven't learned over the last 20 years poker stories and experience, stop loaning money to any gambler, period!!! There's zero up side to it, and only downside, and it's almost always the downside! Dooooont do it!! But, for Pete's sakes, if you must, take collateral!!! There's no other option that ISN'T foolish business practices
I feel bad for Rampage. It’s obvious he has no one in his life to turn to for advice.
Yup or he was too proud to ask
This is Rampage fault for being a donkey and punting a investment to a joke
Thanks for exposing poker scammers and debt con artists.
I read that in the 1800 boxing matches would run something like this A round starts the round ends when one boxer falls down, then they have a few minutes to get him back on his feet and the second round starts. This goes on until one opponent can not get back up.
On another note.. this is comedy gold 😂😂
I learned this lesson long ago after I was burned for 7k. Whenever you loan money you should do it with the thought that the person isn't going to pay you back. That way you'll either give them nothing or give them an amount that is really inconsequential to your life.
One guy tried to get me to give him 50K. I told him "no way" because I had the feeling he wasn't good to pay back. Sure enough, I found out the year before he had a "Vegas Birthday Blowout" for 50K, and one guess what he was up to.
That add placement was the best ad placement I have ever been hit with on youtube.
Hustler needs to stop inviting scammers to their game
This happened to me as well and some of my friends with the same person. It gets me sick to my stomach that people can be like this and continue to just gamble with others money. I want to do the same thing rampage did.
Why did you give him money?
@@hellzbellz3610 I worked with him and he always slightly withdrew money from me. The amount totaled up over time. Now it’s not even the money cause it’s been so long , it’s the time and energy spent helping him in whatever he had to get done. I also lost a couple of relationships cause of it too. I finally grew a pair because he finally blocked me. I just messaged his dad today, he’s a full fledged man , if he can’t give kids who were younger than him their money he should be able to live on his own.
@@hellzbellz3610 I also made one more risky investment (that’s why I only give money to close friends / family) it was a heavy gambler /drug addict. He said he got me 100 more on the 500 and never paid me back when he lost it. But other than that had good interactions with most people.
Why don't you take him out ? And I don't mean on a date.
When you invest in a "risky" investment, you should expect to lose all your money. Seriously, if you had $450K, and didn't know what to do, just buy a CD that pays 5% until you figure out what you want to do with it.
Just threw that money away...
Yes captain obvious. Did you watch the video? Stop victim shaming. You stop other scan victims from coming forward.
no $#it Sherlock
Out of interest, what's a CD in this context? I'm sure it's some sort of investment but...
@@Bosshog-WealthHealthBetterment Certificate of Deposit. Essentially a bank account that you can't withdraw from without penalty until the time period is up.
“This looks like someone that’s used to having 175k” 😭😂😭 Doug too funny
"I don't want to be Dough the Closer" had me rollin'
Anybody who refers to themselves with "da" in front of a name/nickname is the biggest red flag IMO lmao. Other red flags like entrepreneur and angel investor in his profile bio pretty obvious too.
"da" is a little known anagram of "cunt"..
I was wondering when you would come out to shame the scammer Doug, now we all wait in hope that Joey will do the same!!
I really hope they box. That would be great publicity! It’s about time we get back to the old ways of just boxing it out. 💯💪🏽
The Booth shot of raising 24, multiple times, was clever.
Bravo.
Why the hell would you lend a stranger $450k, I wouldn't lend him $45
Why would you attack the capitol for a conman?
@@justsomeguy6474why would you somehow bring politics into this? Lol
@@justsomeguy6474 I wouldn't

Doug Polk perhaps the greatest polker player and certainly the funniest and well he actually gives some really good advice.
Doug 😂 “this looks like someone who’s used to having $135k” 😂 love you and Rampage hope it’s returned
When will we see the "Sprinkle of Death" T-shirts available for purchase?
Imagine 2008 era of poker charging to view the main events. Poker would not be where it is today so what gives these people the right to use what the boom has created and now profit off of it
Haven’t seen a single minute of main event since they put up a paywall. Shame, but they will learn.
@@justinsnider9772same, nor will I.
Rampage copyright striked finding equilibrium on a fair use video he made. He's kind of a dick behind the scenes.
Recently? I know he did this a year ago
@@CharlieCrack9980Does it matter when he did it.
THIS!!! 100%
@karlmuckit2968 yes cause I wanna know if he did it again
@@CharlieCrack9980 He's a scammer. Keeps claiming he has giveaways, Correct me if I'm wrong Has he ever vlogged a winner..
"Why me?".. is an important question to ask yourself when someone comes to you either wanting a loan or presenting you with a fabulous business deal!!
Great video Doug covering a topic like this!
Great comments Doug. I recently too was scammed while doing an estate sale. I did not lose the same amount but it was embarrassing to say I was scammed and I was over the top pissed about it. Fortunately the ring leader is now in jail because she left a trail of scams all across the Dallas area and the victims collaborated together to make a felony case against her. Best wishes to Rampage and here's hoping he gets that money back. My advice is do what you can get your money and get him prosecuted if you can. After that put it behind you and don't invest any time, energy, anger or money in and just learn the hard lesson. Love this content and Rampage's as well.
That's terrible, but good job getting the person prosecuted. You very likely saved other families from getting scammed.
we really don't care this is not all about you
@@slowery43 you care enough to comment, Mr troll. Climb back in your hole.
😂😂😂 when he said the thing about going to jail for inciting people we all know what he would use for editing 😂😂
Thank you for showing ALL of the poker world.
I don't even loan money to family, "neither a borrower nor a lender be", to quote Bill Shakespeare. If I give money to someone, that's exactly what it is, a gift. However, if they do pay it back, great. I'll take mental note of it and they can have that money back at some point in the future if they ever need it again.
Man HCL really has some real deal scammers on their show. First Ryuske and now Dustin. Stop lending money/doing business to anyone who plays on HCL. Seems safe to say at this point.
ANYONE who plays on HCL? Because of all two guys?
Don't forget the biggest scammers robbie and her boyfriend
@@garyblackwoodpoker Robbie/ The dude who played with Robbie. Bro its the only stream going where there is scam/money drama every couple of months. Yeah id just not share my cash with HCL players
@@garyblackwoodpoker also who was the bald guy who ended up being accused of scamming too? bro theres more than 2. I love HCL but cmon now lol
Don’t forget beans too.
How did Doug get so good at everything he does?
Hard work
He always brushes and flosses.
That poker go and dustin TikTok was incredible! great video Doug!
shake my head, most people simply don't know how to protect themselves. it takes 2 hands to clap, a criminal scammer - who isn't smart enough to make it the legit way, and a mark begging to be taken.
Why loan someone that much money? Rampage won all that money just to lose it on a stupid loan.
It is presumed that Rampage made an investment loan in whatever real estate business Aab was pushing. Rampage didn't just give 450k as a loan for no reason. Obv sucks he didn't do any research. But lesson learned hopefully
Someone scammed me for 20k on a deposit for a house. I'm still looking for the be-och til this day. It's been 3 years
@@tv-21 How did that happen? Someone told you to wire them money?
Well, he's not going to ever see that money back again.
Social media world is full of scam and con artist mascarading their true nature with phony instagram posts and fake promises.
When i first saw Dustin's profile the content reeked of absolute crap. Although I was curious to understand what does that guy actually do for money with , but I had no success of doing so.
Now it all makes sense.
Some people are just naturally good at playing the game of "faking till make it or don't make it at all" 😅
Thanks for another great breakdown Dougy. You da real mvp. 💯
What you type is all correct IMHO. Now take out the words "social media" and replace with "poker". I think it's still true.
@@timmyp34 how about "social media poker"?
I play in a couple locals clubs and most members there are absolutely stellar, truthworthy individuals.
I still think the social media is the kicker here.
Never lend money ever. Not even to friends.
Yes. Not even to family, unless you can be OK with it as a donation when they cannot or unwilling to re-pay, and it should not be for anything other than emergency (medical).
Well , if you ever need a hand up I suppose you'll get the same result you advocate .
I will say if you ever loan an individual money, make sure you have a contract stating the repayment amount and schedule; a lawyer can draft one up for you at a reasonable fee and it will protect you in that it gives you legal recourse, definitely worth it
A piece of paper cant force someone to pay you back. Unless its for >25k filing a lawsuit will likely not be economical to get it back. Dont loan money to anyone you have any doubts will pay you back. No matter how good the contract is.
Just shocking to see otherwise intelligent people get scammed so easily
Dude. I love Rampage even more now
“Just a little sprinkle of some death”🤣
Horrible. Should've done more due diligence and had a legally binding contract.
We need a coffeezilla, Doug, and Rampage collab
Agreed!
Warning: Don’t “loan” anyone money at the casino, because you’re probably never going to see it again. When they ask, and they will, just say sorry, I don’t loan money.
Really is unfortunate to see these high rollers making horrible "investments" with charlatans. Given the amounts of studying they put into their own playing skills one would think they would do the same amounts of due diligence work when parting with large sums of their winnings. Good luck to Rampage in getting that resolved favorably.
"when the wire hit" meme is gold 😆
Watching Rampage punt for no reason then blame his luck has been sort of comical lately
The IG story where he has aces up on a monotone flop with 3 to a straight and complains about losing on the river when sets, straights, flushes, and basically everything beats him sums this up
Just a matter of time that Ethan will be broke for sure!
Too much money in bank account has never and will never be a problem I seek to solve. 😂
we don't care, this is not all about you
we don't care, this is not all about you
@@slowery43 why do all the idiot poker players double reply to me lol. Learn to internet boomer
well done putting this vid together. as a player that doesn't have much I couldn't imagine losing that much by giving a "friend" a loan in good faith. the less u have, the less u have to lose. can't even say what would happen if someone got me for a fraction of that. Ive looked up to Rampage for a min & hate to see him done dirty by that punk
I can't imagine you having two thousand dollar bankkroll😂😂😂😂
@patrickbarry633 I live in MN & play at Running Aces regularly. not sure why you're d riding a dirtbag but go off
I'm halfway into this video and I'm calling it early...the best video ever!
I LOVE that Rampage basically said “fite me bro I aint scurred” on social media. He knows he’d whoop that fluffy goofball.
I understand he's upset but trying to sound macho with a fight that is never going to happen is cringe. And Rampage has really nobody to blame but himself. Sucks that it happened
@mikeh4818 imagine Rampage's anger towards this person though ? Have you ever been in a situation where someone owes you a lot of your net worth ? Or at least a meaningful amount ? What's "Cringe" to you, is relatable to others... The dude Deserves to have his teeth kicked in, simple..
Incredibly cringe all things considered. I’ll fight rampage, i’ll put up twice as much as him too. No I’m not defending that stiff. I’m just saying it’s a pathetic thing to do when nobody is acting physically tough. C’mon rampage. I have a feeling that run good would come to a crashing halt lol. And when I knock you out? You dont have to go more rounds you murderous clown.
@@mikeh4818 he is not being macho, he is trying to get SOMETHING out of it, and embarrassing this fat soft muffin for the world to see sounds like a fair trade
Or he knew he would never say yes lol
Is nobody in the 'poker world' connected or have any idea how to take care of problems like this anymore? Seriously kids, put the phones down, the keyboards and cameras away, and go permanently and quietly solve your problems. Don't threaten to act, just act.
Friend: Can I ask a favour from you?
Me: If you need money the answer is no.
Friend: OK.
Sound like a real generous person .
You obviously have no real friends.
Scammers always use that play once you call them out. I was gonna pay you and now I'm not or I'm gonna call the cops smh.
If I was Dustin I'd invest very heavy on Life Insurance
There's gonna always be people that can take care of this kind of stuff but it cost plain and simple
Always remember this when loaning money to somebody you may not know too well. Why are they asking you? (I'm talking in real life reasonable amounts like $60-$600) and ask yourself "if this guy was reliable and is good for his word... Than why wouldn't he ask any one of his 5-6 friends or family? That's your answer... this guy is going to make it difficult... and remember this- people do not change when dealing with borrowed money... When asking for it, they are honest about paying you back, but when they get the cash in their hand, they have other plans.
Remember boys, Doug knows best. 😊
I didn’t know Doug is a final fantasy fan 😎
Great recap. Only thing that’s a little suspect is that Rampage says ”loan”. Why the quotes? Was it a loan or an “investment”?
I can't imagine how much that stings to be out that amount of money. If it's any consolation the good news is rampage has spent the last few years grinding and honing his craft, and is likely to rebuild his successes, maybe even rise higher. As for the alleged debtor, he may not have the skills to do the same; once that cash is gone, he'll need to find another source of funds or wallow in self-pity because he's not self-made.
Let’s add Doug vs. Berks to the lineup. Also Robbi vs. Garrett in titty twister match
If you are going to loan someone money, write up a promissory note explaining basic terms of the loan. If they don't pay you sue them in civil court. Not sure why you still can't take a legal route if you have proof it was an agreement and 1 party took the money and never came thru
Sure . But even if you get a judgement it doesn't mean you'll ever get any money .
@@michaelblankenau6598 that's what I hear. You may have the option to press criminal charges for a felony on top of civil charges. In a promissory note you can designate property for collateral and might be able to confiscate property if you win a settlement, either way. I don't know. You're probably right though about getting the money back.
Why would I give someone money I met a gambling table 💀
This Dustin guy was in some of the Friday games at Hustler Casino Live. He's a tight player.
Why would anyone in their right mind lends money to a gambler ? These younger poker guys really need a financial advisor.
you need to do a scam video about the barber who took money from you for that lol
The Jan 6th reference is that to in regards to Ray Epps?
That's how I understood it.
That bare knuckle fight would be such a loss/win for Rampage; if he wins he gains nothing - things just stay the same, and if he loses, he would be physically messed up and lose the $450k
Loyalty over money ❤
Communication is key. If at any point as the person who borrowed you stop communication, you're in breach. Just be transparent and these videos will not be made about you.
Dustin Aab , comes from a good family I used to date his mom she would tell me that when he was younger he used to steal money from her purse.
And how Dustin has no respect for her.
She now lives in Ohio and stays in touch from time to time.
anyone who lends $450k to a sketch ball deserves to lose it... so dumb.
Doug in his coffeezilla arc
Ethan needs to go media silent on this until his lawyers get it settled. don't give this scammer any leverage around harassment, etc.
this video was a banger, that TikTok is gold 😭
Never ever loan money to anyone at a casino.
“That guy looks like financial planner” lmaoooooo
I was walking to my car right when doug said "Mercedes AMG" and there was an AMG parked right in front of my car. Weird.
