However, as I read his posts, I began to recognize things he was saying that were similar to a past criminal case that was in the media several years ago. I am also in SoCal. When he posted the name Cole Delgado, and his own address in SoCal I was pretty certain I knew who he was, especially when he mentioned that he went into the parlay bets with his buddies, and they split the winnings. Here's the story:
In 2004, a guy named Cole Bartiromo was arrested for running an illegal boomaking operation in Mission Viejo, CA with his buddies, all of whom were in High School. He was also charged with various stockmarket fraud schemes. He was recently released from federal prison. I found it quite coincidental that this group of HS guys lived in the same neighborhood as the OP. I also found it a coincidence that the OP's payout was being withheld due to a ********** involving a Cole Delgado.
The OP posted a link his Facebook page. Cole Bartiromo is on his friends list. By the way the OP did not message me(big surprise). I think he was using the forum to pressure SB.com to pay him. I will look in to a couple more things and post one more time. Of course, this could all just be a coincidence. It looks like SB.com got this one right.
