'I'm not a thief or a fraudster or a liar' ...... oft quoted by a mr jeff abbott .... oh and he also tells people he's a pro player which is about as truthful as Ledzy telling us all he was the lead dancer in the Bolshoi ballet... both of which are equally ludicrous ... the only difference being, Ledzy has integrity by the bucket-load and makes no such claims.
