I can guarantee, no sources misled me into saying this. Quote:
It doesn't matter if you think it's unlikely to be true, it IS true. This is not a new revelation to me or others, and yes it was mentioned in the FTP thread many many months ago, although I don't think Sam's real name, or that of Alpen was used at the time. I verified this to be true almost a year ago. Like most things in my articles, I am not single sourced on this. I have more than one source, more than two, more than three.The story was not based on NVG rumors as you suggest, nor has anything else been that I have written. I have vetted the information many times over, and it's been proven to me. It's totally true. You are absolutely correct to conclude that this type of deal, an online poker site, who was keeping their millions of customers from more than $ 300 million that was rightfully theirs, is not at all the type of "investment" that Sam's company would have typically had on their radar. Makes it all the more interesting, don't you think? |

Last Installment before summary, Distortion of Truth, http://diamondflushpoker.com/2012/11...iles-part-vii/ … I am guessing this means all new information in this series has now been presented? Maybe I am misreading this tweet somehow but I assume it is saying that everything has been put out there now, and it is just time for a summary. If so, what would you guys say are the top few revelations from the series? Should we be expecting new info about how FTP got into the hole it did from the Chad Elie interview or will that mostly be about payment processing? |
Re: Diamond Flush Articles: The Distortion of Truth from the Lederer Files
DF mainly confirmed several areas where HL's story wasn't that credible to begin with. HL portrayed himself as a selfless individual who stayed on the board because nobody else would do the job rather than being someone who did whatever he could to remain a power in the company. He defined the word "know" as "something I dug into personally to get the answer," rather than "something I heard from someone else that most likely had the information." Finally, his motivation actions to get the players paid off was more due to his desire to get out of the mess without letting people know what was going on than his selfless goal to get the players their money back, no matter what his personal cost.
TBH, I think HL actually believes at this point what he said. That's combined with a poker player's money ethics of "it doesn't matter I didn't pay you off when you wanted your money, you got it eventually so stop caring about how, we're even." |
Nothing from DF? Nothing from the black Friday Guy? Nothing from Wendeen? All of them promised something and have yet to deliver.
Think we are being slow rolled? |
Re: Diamond Flush Articles: The Distortion of Truth from the Lederer Files
The importance of parts things DF said have not been made clear yet to me. Anyone else feel like it was?

Re: Diamond Flush Articles: The Distortion of Truth from the Lederer Files
She still hasn't posted the conclusion.

1. Howard is a self-serving POS. 2. DF is putting together why. 3. If you have followed every story line since BF, then most will not be new information. If you haven't and someone says #1, then this will likely be a very good reference. 4. Even if there is no revealing info(would be the opposite of what BFChad has said), anything that brings attention to #1 is very good. Just look at how easy Annie Duke was able to move on to her next scam. It's because no one knew/cared how shady she was. Howard can't even sit at a table right now without headphones, and that isn't going away any time soon. Unless you think 1 isn't true, you can't really hate on DF for much. |
Re: Diamond Flush Articles: The Distortion of Truth from the Lederer Files
I lost so much interest and there doesn't seem to be anything exciting from the new parts from DF. I stopped at part 4.
Would be super great if someone did cliffs on everything from DF. |
Re: Diamond Flush Articles: The Distortion of Truth from the Lederer Files
Perhaps DF was waiting for this in order to finish her story as well as possible?

Re: Diamond Flush Articles: The Distortion of Truth from the Lederer Files
Is this series still happening or did some recent events change the plan? I have been pretty out of touch lately so it's definitely possible I missed some big news but the last published part did indicate one more article in the works.

DOJ can't find a reason to put him in jail. Two interviews and others tried to find something. The only thing they found was he had a social lunch with a money guy.
I think it's over.... |
I always wondered about the appearance fees - patches, pad shows, etc - shareholders were getting paid a bunch in excess of distributions, plus shareholders' buddies too, I wonder how much went in 'marketing'

Re: Diamond Flush Articles: The Distortion of Truth from the Lederer Files
Did any of you guys even bother to read DF's summary? Biggest revelations being (IMO), that according to her calculations there is still a very large sum of money unaccounted for, and then the stuff about Howard's resignation/non-resignation in 2008 and the events that subsequently followed. Lots of 'even more shady than previously known' dealings brought out.
DF does it once again....excellent job of analysis and food for thought. Will continue to stay tuned as this seemingly never ending real life soap opera keeps unfolding, especially because it has touched so many of us here personally, and that so many of those involved are people that are "known" to us in varying degrees. |
