Bluff Magazine Says Goodbye

Just last week the company that owns Bluff Magazine, Bluff Media, announced that it had fired Chris Vaughan, the former Managing Editor of the magazine because of a cheating scandal that broke in the news just weeks previously. Vaughan and a cohort, Sorel Mizzi, were caught cheating at a Full Tilt online casinos poker game. And as a result of that scandal, Bluff Media was forced to fire Vaughan as a way to maintain and continue credibility.

The cheating scandal has rocked the online casinos industry, especially since a previous cheating scandal broke a few months ago that made international news because of the extent and scope of the cheat. Absolute Poker announced months ago that the company had contacted the Kahnawake Gaming Commission about a large scale cheat – the largest in the history of the online casinos and internet gambling industry. Between that cheating scandal and now the one at Full Tilt, many players in the internet gambling industry are increasingly wondering about the safety of internet gambling. At that same time though, these are isolated incidences and the land-based gambling industry has its fair share of gambling and cheating scandals.

As for Bluff Media, the company released a statement with the news that Vaughan had been terminated. Bluff Media announced that “In light of Chris' involvement, recently admitted facts and the feedback obtained from industry professionals, it became apparent that the credibility required to perform the job functions of Managing Editor of Bluff Magazine at our company's level of standards have become severely diminished.” Bluff Magazine is highly respected in the online casino industry, and the company “regret[s] having to make this decision.” The announcement continued, “we believe that it is the best alternative for all parties involved, including Chris, Bluff Media and the poker playing community at large. We wish Chris the best of luck."
