Is it me or does the guy talking at the beginning look like he could be related to Kevin from the office?

Is it me or does just getting some computer equipment not really mean that much?

It shows that even though it's a slow process, things are still happening behind the scenes.

link is legit title misleading ..

stars will fund FTP for non-US players, you'll have to ask the DOJ for FTP funds if you're in the US

This is a cool piece and shows how integral PokerStars has become to the economy of IOM. Funny how USA perceived what they do as criminal, while other countries look at it as a 'feel good' story.

Last edited by Mike Johnson; 09-21-2012 at 04:08 PM. Reason: yeah, change thread title to say FTP equipment moved to IOM(safe video link)

any guesses on how much money Stars has on them in company money. Because they've been giving out money left and right. One to pay for entry into spain then the Full tilt deal. Thats a whole of money in their warchest.

How about learning something about PC security rather than being paranoid?

Yeah, totally hilarious. When you blatantly violate the laws of one country and commit fraud to earn money that you spend in another country, that kinda happens, you know.

It's amazing how profitable online poker can be for a company when you don't pay 1000000000 pros, when you don't overpay the ones you do have (seriously where else are these jerkoffs gonna go?), and when you don't give out phantom loans of funny money for professional degenerates to donk off playing pot limit omaha against durr and antonius.
