Following text messages and an admission to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Rob Mercer, who is alleged to have conned his way to thousands of dollars in donations after he revealed that he has terminal cancer, lied about his cancer diagnosis to the poker community.
According to a text message sent to and released by Cody Daniels, who really is terminally ill, Mercer hasn't actually been diagnosed by a doctor with any form of cancer.
