Unofficial "PIV situation" progress thread.

As stated above this will be the main "piv situation" progress thread.
I've taken initiative in trying to resolve this issue. I'll be posting what has been done and what is happening at the moment.
Right now I'm in two groups of 36 and 6 people whose damages amount to more than $120000 and $151500 respectively. There is one more group of players that have yet to contact me that have ~$156000 stuck on PIV.
So far I've sent an official letter to LGA and to Deputy Chairman of LGA - Dr. Chris Cilia personally. This is the letter to Deputy Chairman:
No answers as of yet, but working days have just started, so I don't expect answers so soon.
Here is the copy of chat that I had with PIV's official representative:
{removed - see below}
Later today I'll try calling LGA. Perhaps with the board changes they will be of more help than on previous occasions.
For now this is all. Other things are getting done, but it's too early to speak of them as of now. Please keep all replies relevant to the topic. Experienced advice is welcomed. PM me for any suggestions.
Be sure to write to LGA and share this thread.
Thank you

Noticed that I made a little mess copying the chat. So here is the full version. In the removed message Pivgame said that their decision to transfer accounts to play2b and to enforce to rake 75% of our balance in order to be able to withdraw our money was reviewed, approved and signed by LGA

Dear Dr. Chris Cilia,
I am writing on behalf of a group of 30 (and growing) poker players. Since you are the Deputy Chairman at LGA, I am hoping that you can help us out.
During a period of several months, individual members of the group were unable to withdraw their funds from the Poker In Venice (PIV) network on multiple occasions. This is in against of the Terms of Service at PIV as well as a clear violation of how poker network should behave under the LGA license. According to LGA’s rules and regulations ‘upon the player's request, his funds will be returned to the account from which they were originally withdrawn within five (5) working days.’ Current damages of the group exceed $150 000 and is growing every day as more and more victims of PIV’s unlawful actions join our group.
I sincerely hope that this unfortunate situation can be resolved without getting mass media coverage and damaging the reputation of LGA and online poker in the process.
Awaiting your prompt action,
My contacts
