EG,

Awesome trailer!!!! Do you have a release date? or did I miss it somewhere? also how will it be distributed? internet only?

Thank you, can't wait.

Awesome job as usual! I hope these scumbags go down.

Thanks for the response. Sounds fair.

Leggett part was hard to understand. Ironic I suppose. Subtitles would help.

Looks great man!

looks good!

looks really good!

shipped 25

Awesome, donated $100. Will be tweeting/advertising for you guys, best of luck!

I've been looking forward to this for a while, will def be shipping some nickels

Just shipped 25. This is a good investment for all poker players. The shame of being immortalized as scum may help deter this kind of behavior going forward.

Can't wait to see the rest of it...gj!

I want these criminals to pay and happy to donate to see it happen.

Real happy this is being made. Looks good.
I'll send some once I get my FTP money.

Depending on the Kickstarter success, late fall/winter is our target. Our current strategy is to do something quite simple like Louis CK did last year. Video On Demand, no DRM, no bs. We will also probably do some festival submissions and be open to a distribution deal. It will firm up after I finish principle photography.

Good call, we have several pieces of crappy audio generated from radio shows, phone calls, etc. I thought about subbing that clip but decided not to (probably error on the side of caution in the film).

Here, Leggett tells a player in 2011 there is an account they knew was associated with the player, created when playing on multiple accounts at UB was acceptable. We will discuss the reasons/ramifications at length in the film but it provides an answer to why several folks did not receive refunds or received less than they deserved.

Money was refunded into it and the account was closed though we have no way to know if it was closed before or after the refund. Several players have told us about accounts in 2003-2006 where they long lost access to the email addresses associated with the accounts and had not logged into them in years. In this case, they ended up shipping $24k to the player in 2011.

Thanks, just want to mention that Michael "mookman5" Corriveau is a co-producer on the project and deserves a lot of credit for keeping the flame lit on the investigation.

Ive heard people say that russ has been seen playing in public poker rooms. The ub scandal didnt affect me personally, but im kind of surprised that noone has accidentally spilled hot coffee on his face yet

+1

Great job EG.

My only feedback, other than that already posted, would be to point out that where you have included text in documents, it would be easier to read if it was on screen for longer.

Great teaser.

Looks very professional, good luck with it and well done!

that's harsh.

Sorry, sounded British enough for me to donate, so no hard feelings I hope.

this looks awesome.

phil hellmuth gon be mad.

You need a better voice over guy.

You need subtitles for the garbled quote from the guy in the jeans.

Otherwise, it looks pretty good.

pumped for this, looks good guys

Indeed. I am currently doing the narration as is the case with many documentaries. But I also wanted early on to get a name for the final output.

The issue, as with most projects like this is budget so we'll see what we are able to come up with.
