Now we are up to half the table, the dealer, and the stream owner all being in on a long running scam presumably to target the guy who has been one of the most consistent winners on the stream all along? IDK this theory seems to have a few large holes in it. (Or I can’t understand WTF he is suggesting.)

This doesn’t make sense because soul reading the turn with J high no draw with a card to come is very close to the suspicion-maximizing argument of the suspicious hand function. That’s why we’re even talking about this and why Inside Edition is doing stories on it. So not only are you drawing massive attention to yourself by cheating this way, you’re also flipping for $109k with much lower $EV and high variance compared to just cheating the normal way. If it’s not the worst possible cheating strategy, it is has to be close to it.

well usually people that have access to all the hole cards don’t think of strategy, it’s just hey I got the best hand for a lot of money so call that bluff
edit–still amusing me how many people are trying to apply logic to blatantly illogical people
at least on 2p2 anyway
Unless I’m remembering wrong, Postle wasn’t high card calling people he had unipipped. As dumb as he is, even he realized that would be incredibly foolish. I don’t remember exact Potripper hands but that was a long time ago and also under the belief that hand histories didn’t exist. How many more examples do we have to say what superusers usually do?
Potripper had a 10 high call that was very sus
I think this is the part that is really tripping me up.

It’s hard for me to be 100% no cheat, because while there are a few arguments that justify the play, at the end of the day I can’t put myself in the headspace of a clean player that would play the J4 hand the way she did.

Otoh, I can’t go fully 100% cheat, because I can come up with only a few really weird, not particularly consistent theories to explain how and when they cheated.
I guess that’s why we’re all still talking about it. Ish is just bizarre no matter how you look at it.

Stuff going missing when Bryan was around after confirming with video that Bryan stole from Robbi is way more evidence than anybody has dug up against Robbi so far.
Has it been confirmed that there were other incidents where he stole? It’s not really evidence of it’s just random ppl talking.
No, it seems like people have said “oh wow weird I thought I was down some chips but figured it was just me” but are now wondering if in fact Bryan didn’t palm some chips since he was around their stacks at the time. Sure it’s not really evidence, but when compared to the “evidence” against Robbi it’s practically a solved matter.
Seems like there’s a Bryan Da Palmer joke in here.
But that just makes me think about how I went to see Femme Fatale with a cute girl in grad school and it never went anywhere
Nobody goes to see that movie and doesn’t at least get laid! I hope. 
So far it appears the origin of the “Bryan stole from others” rumor is Robbi, who claimed she was told that by HCL staff, but then got turned inside out a bit by Dwan when he confronted her about it. HCL has said nothing publicly about Bryan stealing from anyone else.

Well the source of the rumor posted just up thread was somebody who has played in some of the biggest games streamed by HCL, and he says he had a few issues with weird things happening with his chips when Bryan happened to be around, but just dismissed them until now. (Edit: “Now” being when the Bryan news came out.)
I don’t think he was the source of the rumor. It sounded like he just reacted to the rumor by saying he experienced some weirdness that made him wonder in retrospect.
