A huge scandal on the 2+2 forums has surfaced recently, which involves respected members of the online community. 2+2 moderator, “Cornell Fiji”, whose real name is Steven Ware, has been accused of stealing $30,000 from a fellow veteran 2+2 poster named “Admo”. When Admo first spread the news on the forums, all of his topics were quickly deleted by Steven. This moderator abuse did not last long as word eventually spilled to other parts of the 2+2 forums, beyond Steve’s control. Neverwinpoker.com, another major online poker community, quickly picked up on this information and posted all the dirt on their front page, uncensored and unedited in response to the moderation of Admo’s original topics on 2+2.
The following is a private message from Steve admitting to moderator abuse:

The root of this drama started a few weeks ago around July 15, 2008, when Steven made a thread requesting to trade his cash for online poker money. Admo responded to this thread and a deal was eventually made between the two. After feeling a sense of trust and confidence, Admo decided to send first to Steve and initiate the trade. Admo transferred $30,000 from his Full Tilt Poker account to Steve’s FTP account, “TheMatadorKGB”. After this occurred, Steve was supposed to go to a local bank and deposit $30,000 into Admo’s bank account to finish the deal. Admo did not receive any money in his bank account and grew a little worried. When he tried to contact Steve, he received no reply from private message or text message for two days. Then after three days, Admo received a message from Steve: “well I’m sure you probably guessed what happened…” and it continued on to say that Steve had lost all $30K at the Bellagio in Bobby’s Room and would return to New Jersey to pay back Admo. Admo quickly demanded that Steve send back the funds on FTP, but Steve replied claimed he lost it all to a player named BoostedJ. It is later confirmed that this was a lie and Steve never lost any money to Boosted.
Admo reveals that Steve private messaged him with intentions to repay the lost funds with several options:
(i) Borrow from friends
(ii) Borrow from family
(iii) Sell everything he owns
(iv) Repay via advance from his upcoming book
(v) Repay in a month and a half when he can sell some stock
As of August 5, Admo claims to have not received a single cent from Steve, which prompted Admo to bring attention to this situation on 2+2. Admo has also threatened to file a lawsuit and involve the police in hopes of speeding up the repayment process. Admo has gone as far to create a website which will follow his adventures as he tries to collect his stolen money: stevenwareisathief Dot Com.
He also created a photo edited image poking fun of this scandal:
