hi there!

im sorry for digging this one up again but don't you thing tulkazz would be boasting around with his victory over bwin if he were 100% inocent? now i'm definitely not entitled to judge anyone here but it does seem a little suspicious that this issue died about just as fast as it came up?

Good point. If I were in his shoes and totally innocent, I'd be forcing them to release a statement saying I was cleared of any wrong-doing, especially if his reputation is as important as the Danish players seem to represent.

what if they gave him gag money?

This. Settlements (although they are not calling it that for legal reasons, I think) routinely include agreements to not publicly speak of the issue in the future. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but, in the U.S. especially, agreements/settlements of this nature rarely include an admission of a mistake because it could open bwin to further actions by other players who have been similarly punished.

I suspect Jonas got some sum of money, his account reinstated and they decided to move on.

Makes sense, but he came out publicly to criticise them for the way they handled it and was seeking support from the poker community.

So rather than protect other players from a poker site acting like this and clearing his name, he took the money and kept quiet??? (we assume)

Nice gesture to the guys who supported him.

BWIN should have been brought to book for how they acted here IMO. Just taking someones funds and re-distributing them without accepting a single email of defense, is way out of line. They also came out publicly and called him out for cheating, again way out of line. I guess a few dollars extra in his pocket is better for himself though....

sorry just stumbled upon this thread
