An interesting article on Wade Townsend.

dude is a baller

A while back I was researching the crackdown by the Feds and was looking at some of the poker chat boards from that time period and found his login id which was pretty much widely known. He had quite a "fan" club of online players for his style of play plus his helping younger players. IIRC Wade's problems with the Feds was that he had a set up to be able to be in the States while his computer was logged in from Mexico (someone who is into online poker can correct me or fill in more detail). I believe he wound up OK by surrendering some of his winnings in his account that were obtained that way. Good to see him continue doing well and who knows maybe the subject of a future Wes Anderson movie.

Wondering what he's been up to since the laws about this have changed quite a bit these days?

You should follow him on Twitter I think you share a similar world view.

I talk with him often. We agree on the PRC and Leebron, and on virtually nothing else.
