Cloud Death
Still Raising Eyebrows
July 14 - While we reported about the death of South
African-born online gambling entrepreneur and rand billionaire,
Warren Cloud, some weeks ago, the secretive and mysterious
manner in which the gambling mogul lived and worked has left
many unanswered questions.
For instance, why did the 34-year-old Cloud have so many
aliases? In online gambling circles the entrepreneur was often
known as 'Don Fortune', 'Oliver Curran' and 'Richard Brooks'.
And why did he surround himself with an army of armed
bodyguards?
It is hard to so but most likely it had something to do with the
way he seemed to conduct his online gambling business, creating
plenty of angry players and 'enemies' along the way. Cloud, and
his range of online casinos, were often listed on online
gambling 'watchdog' sites, with a warning to players to steer
clear.
According to many online gambling blogs and players unlucky
enough to have had a run in with any of Cloud's online casinos,
rarely did the players receive the 'benefit of the doubt' in a
dispute or disagreement, and were often left with their winnings
unpaid or accounts frozen.
But it wasn't just Cloud's players that took a hit. According to
online sources, Cloud was in the habit of not paying his
creditors for work rendered. One such example, allegedly
involves a leading South African advertising agency that was
forced to 'write-off' R200,000 after Cloud refused to pay for
their services.
While it is unclear what Cloud hired the ad agency to work on,
he was a part-shareholder of leading South African online
gambling destination, Silver Sands Casino. Luckily for South
Africa's many online gambling fans, Silver Sands Casino is
continuing to run unaffected by his death.
Unlike many other online casinos connected with Cloud, Silver
Sands Casino has always had a reputation for being fair, secure
and reputable, which is why it will undoubtedly weather the
death of one of its owners, and continue to attract South
African online gambling fans.
