Lock Poker to Sue Jose Macedo?

Former team member now in unfavorable position After amazing so many poker fans and players with his speedy success and earning the nickname “Poker Prodigy”, Portuguese pro Jose Macedo got involved into a wholly different story, whose end may turn out to be far from glamorous. Namely, he has recently been dismissed from the pro team at Lock Poker, due to allegations of multi-accounting and Skype "sweating" on that site. He was not alone and there are another two players involved in the scandal, which won't settle down any time soon, judging by the words of Lock Poker spokesman Eric "Rizen" Lynch, who recently stated the company's intention to start a legal action against the Portuguese pro. In his comment, Lynch specified: "Lock is currently pursuing legal action against Jose so we are unable to make a substantial comment at this time. We do realize that ongoing silence can lead to people jumping to conclusions. What happened goes against the very core of our player based philosophy and we intend on exercising our legal rights in the most severe degree. We will keep you updated as things progress.” As for Macedo, he reportedly admitted that he was involved in scamming high-stakes poker players in collaboration with two other professionals - Daniel “jungleman12” Cates, and player coach/instructor Haseeb Qureshi are the names of the two players allegedly implicated in the issue.
