I found this:

Doyle Brunson was arrested today by a joint Pan-American task force for
his involvement in Buzkashi point shaving conspiracy.

in a few online poker forums. Seems like CNN or Faux would pick it up right away if it was for real.

And what the hell is a Buzkashi point?

I'm about 99.5% this is total bull.

I've spoken to people at poker rooms that would 100% know for sure if Doyle was arrested.

I'll update you guys if I hear otherwise.

I'm sure it wouldnt be his first time.

First time in 2007 maybe.

Could something like this actually end up being good for online poker? I think a legend like Doyle, being an only man, would get a lot of sympathy. The public out cry would be pretty huge. The short term effects would be pretty terrible, but if someone as big as Doyle were to be arrested it might cause the rest of us to get off our butts and do something about this.

Joint Pan-Amercian Task Force is a key phrase used by an RGP poster named "Neal The Real Deal", he used that phrase in a "threat" a couple years ago when he and that "force" were going into costa rica to weed out some of these " rouge" poker room operators. its been used numerous times since by people making ridiculous statments.

I wouldnt be surprised if the rumor of Doyle being arrested eventually leads to an RGP( rec.gambling.poker) post

Havent seen anything on 2plus2

Someone told me that David Grey called to Brunson after hearing this rumor on full tilt poker and it was total bullshit

I guess saying goes

"any publicity is good publicity"

wonder if it was a forum owner that did it
