Where is Hustler Casino Live reg Ryusuke Daifuku and the missing $15,000,000?

They seek him here, they seek him there, they seek Ryusuke everywhere! Poker’s version of the Scarlet Pimpernel – Ryusuke Daifuku – who disappeared owing $15,000,000, has been sighted all over the globe.

Described as “Hustler Casino Live’s biggest scammer”, Ryusuke is said to have not only taken some of the HCL regs crew for an expensive ride, but also owes $millions more in Japan and elsewhere.

Full name Ryusuke Daifuku, the Japanese pro (pictured below with Veronica Brill) seems to have made a habit of skipping town after running up huge debts.

He won $684,000 over his 12-week-run in the HCL highstakes cash games, including an appearance in the infamous Adelstein/Lew  ‘cheating’ incident.

However, off-camera he is said to have borrowed huge sums, which he has failed to repay.

Nik Airball recently claimed during an HCL livestream: “He’s a scammer!” and that he is owed 6-figures.

“Ryusuke owes about $½million to me and several other people locally,” claimed Airball, who recently lost $1million to Matt Berkey in his highstakes Grudge Match.

“He’s gone silent, he owes money in Japan, hasn’t responded in months and is gone. Like, verified, he’s a scammer, he owes me $160,000 personally. It’s unfortunate … such a nice guy I thought.”

Snapped playing $5/$10 in Sihanoukville, Cambodia (according to our lead tweet) the elusive scammer has also been spotted in various other towns and cities across the world…

However, a Twitter account claiming to be Ryusuke and replaying to Polk: “I’m not in Florida. I’m taking break from everything to get affairs in order. I already talk to those who I need to,” turned out to be a fake.

Poker Twitter was rife with claims that the scamster owes 6-figure sums in other private games in California, and may have been wagering huge bets on sports.

If rumours that he owes an alleged $15million in total, the real Ryusuke is unlikely to come out of hiding in Cambodia, or elsewhere, anytime soon…
