absolute poker balances?

I was searching the forums for this information, but couldn't find it.

What was (or is) the final word on Absolute Poker accounts? Someone I know just mentioned to me that he has a balance of between $10,000-$15,000 on the site and believes he has no hope of getting it back.

Again, sorry if this has already been answered, but I couldn't find it.

That friend is a pretty close description of me. I have about that much and I also have about a 0% chance of getting it back.

Re: absolute poker balances?

I don't know anything about the legality of it all, but have any players looked into lawsuits to try and recover balances?

There is no money for you get. The owners took it all and are living on Barsoom I think.

Cereus is supposed to be in liquidation, though nothing has been reported since the intitial story broke. He may get 5-20 cents on the dollar some day.

No idea who.

I was thinking that in such a litigious world, someone or some group of people with large balances stuck online may have attempted such litigation.

I just did a search on "class action" and poker and found this article:

http://www.vegasinc.com/news/2012/ap...ull-tilt-poke/

I have no idea if the article is accurate or not. I am curious if anyone associated with Absolute Poker has faced such litigation.

Re: absolute poker balances?

The problem is the owners ran the site into the ground and then the DOJ took what was left on BF.
