I guess the old saying holds true "where there's smoke, there's fire". BNM already cut ties with him a couple months ago over another incident they felt was suspicious. I know cheating has been around forever and will continue, but it just amazes me how much people will risk for so little reward. Sure $500 prize money would have been nice but guarantee he has that much tied up in about 6 rod/reel combos. Now pretty much any tournament in the future is out of the question for him.
