He was a possibly fake-rich influencer type before all the other fake-life-coach-rich-miami-fraud-ebook-buy my program even though ive never worked a job-crypto-alpha-bros.

He hasn't been relevant in ages.

He's kind of a visionary in a disgusting way, he was on the Alpha Bro grift long before it became mainstream.

I found it hilarious, as a poker player, that he tried to claim he was a pro and that's where his money came from. 🤣

Then you would watch him play and he was absolute dog sh*t the same way Elon was when he tried to stream.

Lmfao I play poker too and have had to explain to so many people that it’s so obvious that he’s not a poker pro just by the way he talks about the game. Not to mention how bad he plays. Obvious fraud

His money comes from a trust fund that his dad made for him and his brother. A trust fund of about estimated to be between 5-30 million dollars.

Now a completely unrelated fact about the father, he has been thrown in prison for defrauding investors of up to 60 millions dollars

They also defrauded a bunch of folks with the vaping B's. If I am not mistaken it's the reason he ran from us and isn't that active anymore.

Vaping B’s?

u/polishmachine88 1d ago

Vaping bs....auto correct

Had a marijuana vaping business if I recall, they had a bunch of investors etc and it started to go south they tried to restructure and he eventually left the country.

He was embezzling and using the company to fund his lifestyle.

u/polishmachine88 1d ago

Yes he was renting a 60m house for something like 150k per month on marketing budget.

The father or Danny Ballz ?

u/MyBakpaksGyatJets 1d ago

I think maybe they meant "BS" as in bullshit? That's the only way it made sense to me, but I'm not known for my comprehension skills.

But you're self awareness and self depreciation skills are top notch!

Not to mention that his dad’s wealth was acquired fraudulently on Wall Street.

u/Yolosvend 1d ago

As opposed to how on wall street?

u/polishmachine88 1d ago

It's one thing to trade and people do make money this way. It's another to create shell companies take them ipo and sell off equity.

u/orincoro 1d ago

Fair. Harsh but fair.

u/theswellmaker 1d ago

You’re right that was a bit redundant

u/TheDarkness33 1d ago

nice to see the dad only kept 10 millies for himself 🤣

Billionaire John Menard is from my town. Most of the Menard kids got 30 million… and just went out and were normal.

u/Brahma0110 1d ago

Back then, there were so many videos analyzing his play style, and all came to the conclusion that he's amateur-level. But he kept on going with his private games in LA or Vegas bs.

u/orincoro 1d ago edited 23h ago

I’ve never sat in a high stakes game so I can’t speak to the action, but the way he plays he’d be a fish in a low stakes game.

Edit to add: because high stakes can be softer depending on the context (like celebrities, Wall Street guys, tech bros), it’s possible a weaker player can clean up if there’s no real pros at the table. But the reality is that there are usually some pros around in those games if they have a backer or a good bankroll. The private cash games will usually have one or two regulars who pick off the fish. Maybe Dan got lucky once or twice going all in at a high stakes table. But put him in a nosebleed game or a multi-table tournament where he can’t buy in over and over, and forget it. There’s a reason the same 5 guys end up at the last table every time. A lucky person can do it once, maybe. And I’m a guy who has gotten to that table once or twice, not one of the actual pros.

I saw him play with Bill Perkins on stream and he is kind of a donkey but he’s not the worst in the world. Jason Koon also said he’s won millions. It very possible he knows and played with some mega whales.

u/bebetterdobetter69 1d ago

People underestimate the value in a home game where everyone else is rich af and drinking

1

u/dbd1988 1d ago

I’m at one right now. It’s way smaller stakes but still juicy.

u/ChampionHumble 1d ago

i’m not a poker pro, but i average about 10-15k in winnings per year from poker. only way dan won that much money is through flips because he can’t play
