Andre Yang - Lifetime Ban

[G.Foyle]

Read through the thread, people talk of him as if he had zero skill and everything was smoke and mirrors behind the scenes

I never said that Andre or OPB have no skills. I just said that the situation is amazingly similar, as a lot of people including for example George, trusted both Andre and OPB.

After reading and following this on several fronts, this question is the one that bothers me the most, we know that some stuff happened here, we know who is involved to a point.
But just the idea that several people knew to go to Andre beggs the bigger question which is asked several times.

The 1st thing I thought. How do 3 guys competing all decide to contact Andre "Phone a Friend" Yang for a competition?

this question really scares me, because the implications are much bigger and would involve more people and more events. For there to be a group that knows where to get the "good stuff" implies a underground that passes info and results for the gain of the people "in the know" which would make this much more then this one incident...

THIS +1

The 1st thing I thought. How do 3 guys competing all decide to contact Andre "Phone a Friend" Yang for a competition?

This leads me to conclude one thing only... that Andre Yang was the 'go-to' man if you needed a dig out and a result. Does anyone know what price or benefit in kind is transferred?

What I don't understand is how all of them knew to contact Andre for a score?

Has the question been asked as to how they know to go to Andre to get a score? I mean it seems unlikely you'll just ask another 'top' ocer for a score because you were unhappy with your own, and when 3 maybe more people all request a score from Andre, then there is something seriously dirty happening around here. Is this a case Andre letting people know you can get a score from this? It seems a great number of people know this is going on and nothing is being done about it.

Exterminators usually say if you catch one rat, there's usually many more you haven't yet caught. I think the more improtant question here is exactly how many people have been doing this.

There's also absolutely no way to guarantee Andre won't continue selling out his own results.
