I can tell you that I was one of many people on that call ... I had no idea on April 15 that that was not a true statement. And i'm very disappointed that some people who should have known that that was not a true statement allowed that to be made.
HL contends that he didn't know about the financial situation until April 20. The screenshot on the website is from after April 20 -- it is from the time that the domain name was returned to FTP, which was i think 5-7 days post BF.
On the pokercast, he says:
Quote:
I don’t believe that “safe and secure”... that those words would have been used after April 20. And if it did happen, it happened without me knowing about it.
This statement stayed on the website until after the AGCC shutdown at the end of July.
So to conclude:
- States that "safe and secure" was used on April 15, prior to his knowledge this was a lie, and that he is disappointed that such words are used.
- Finds out about the financial situation on April 20.
- Get's the domain back, puts up the message "safe and secure"--words approved by the lawyers--and keeps it there for something like four months.
As I stated in my post above, it is NOT about just catching him out about a certain phrase, but the duplicity of saying on one hand how he was "disappointed about people who knew approving language like 'safe and secure'" but at the same time approving similar language, launching big player bonuses (with money that doesn't exist!) etc,
after he knew the financial situation.
