Not that I would ever direct someone to RGP, but it might be easiest to do a search on him there.

I am a bit biased as I wasn't a customer that lost money at PokerSpot and have talked several times with Dutch and have a great deal of respect for him. You will get people who tell you just the opposite.

The story that I have goes like this, and you will get different angles from everyone, and I am not saying I am right.

He operated with partners a place called pokerspot.com that was taking deposits via credit card, the credit card processing company never gave them the money for the deposits, thus they had no way to pay the players who wanted cashouts and the players got screwed in the deal. Thats the short of it, though I am sure there is more to it. I tend to believe Boyd and his partners as they stood to make a bunch more money via the rake than they made stealing deposits.

Although Dutch wasn't the only one involved people seem to hold him responsible, probably because he was very visible during the 03 WSOP.

Thats just my take, like I said you can find more info.
