Thank you very much to Charles for speaking up. I’ve laid out all the details of that hand, Britney’s response, and then Charles’ confirmation — putting together the full picture. The audience can draw their own conclusions. Anyone who’s played poker with Charles knows he is a gentleman at the table. People only know him as Charles from Hustler Poker, but what many don’t know is that F2Pool, one of the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pools, was founded back in 2013. It is China’s first, and one of the world’s oldest and largest comprehensive crypto mining pools. He is a co-founder alongside
@SATOFISHI (funding source and commander of Fram2, the first crewed polar orbit space mission) and
@BITFISH. Compared to CZ, who essentially runs an online gambling operation, and Justin Sun (needless to say more about him), these three crypto OGs command far greater respect.Including his statement at the end about not wanting to get caught up in drama — classy, respect!
Since my name came up, a short note.
Yes, I played the Bike game in 2023, for about an hour, and had a small piece of one player. It was over two years ago. Hank and Alan have already described what happened that night, and my recollection is roughly the same. I wasn't there for the settlement afterwards, so I won't speak to it.
As for C Ye and Britney, that's between them. I wasn't involved and I'm not picking a side.
If I can offer one thought: this all feels bigger from inside the poker bubble than it really is. Most people have never heard of it and never will. Settle it privately if you can, and move on.
That's the whole statement. I won't be commenting on this again or answering questions about it, so please don't read my silence as agreement or disagreement with anyone. Poker isn't really where my head is these days. Life is full of more interesting things.
