Killing of Osama Bin Laden linked to Online Poker Black Friday | Online Poker Bonus

News·

Where famous people die, there are conspiracy theories. With the killing of Osama Bin Laden it’s no different and most are too far-fetched and unrealistic, but the theory we’ve seen now is too juicy and relevant for a poker news source to leave untouched..

According to BlackJackchamp.com there are rumours that there is a connection between the events around Online Poker Black Friday and the killing of the Al-Qaida leader. Do what you like with the theory, but I’ll try to summarize it:

Years ago the CIA learned about the favorite hobby of one of the most trusted aides of Bin Laden, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. In an interrogation with a CIA-informant, Mohammed revealed that he was an avid online poker player.

In August 2010, the CIA knew that Bin Laden was hiding somewhere in Pakistan but they didn’t know exactly where. They also knew that Mohammed stayed in the neighbourhood of Osama Bin Laden and that he continued playing online poker in the last few years.

Now they needed the records of the biggest online poker rooms to combine these two pieces of intelligence. Fast forward to the seizing of the domain names and the freezing of the bank accounts of Pokerstars, Full Tilt, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet and the deal that led to the returning of the domain names and player funds. Apparently, the CIA received a list of all online poker transactions coming from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

With this information, the CIA was able to solve the puzzle and find the exact location of the compound where Osama Bin Laden was hiding. At least, that’s what the theory says..
