Sorel Mizzi Accused of Ghosting in Online Poker Tournaments

Sorel Mizzi, a prominent figure in the poker world, finds himself at the center of a new scandal involving ghosting in online poker tournaments. The controversy began with the release of chat logs between Mizzi and Steve Weinstein, which were posted on the 2+2 forum by a user named waxonchris. The logs suggest that Mizzi proposed using remote access programs to control other players' computers during online tournaments, a practice known as ghosting.

In the chat logs, Mizzi and Weinstein discuss various methods to gain an advantage in online tournaments. Mizzi mentions using programs like GoToMyPC.com, PCNow.com, and Laplink to control other players' computers remotely. He also names other players who could be involved in such activities, including Chris 'cdbr' Dombrowski and Aditya 'Intervention' Agarwal, both of whom were his backers at the time.

Weinstein has since denied any involvement in the scheme and offered to support Full Tilt in investigating the matter. Aditya Agarwal also stated that he and Dombrowski were unaware of any wrongdoing and were not involved in any schemes. Mizzi acknowledged participating in the chat logs but claimed they were compiled from multiple conversations over an extended period. He also mentioned that he had been threatened with the release of compromising information and had ignored the threats.
