ackbleh,

Those are excellent shirts; I must've missed the part of this thread where that design was suggested, but imo it's perfect. I just bought them without reading the part about the donation, so if you PM me your ID on Stars, FT, or UB (j/k) I'll ship you some dough. Thanks for your hard work.

Agreed, thanks so much for the tshirts ackbleh. Im very pleased with how they look. Im buying 8 right now and am going to give some to a few buddies of mine. I really appreciate the hard work being putting into this, especially given the fact that guys like you and cornell have absolutely nothing to gain by doing all this.

Don't sweat the $5, tell some friends about these instead. Without breaking 2+2 T&C, of course.

This is a small investment in the long-term health of the industry, and well worth making.

Harrahs' lawyers shot down my attempt to buy a booth at the WSOP Gaming Life Expo to sell the T-shirts. :-(. Website slightly delayed by memorial day weekend but I'm hopeful we'll have something to link to tomorrow.

Congratulations, we're finally assured compensations. REALLY wish they wouldve given some timeline for when they're paying everyone back, who knows how long they may decide to put actual payments on the backburner....

Alright scratch that, I just got a call from a UB higher up informing me that i will be receiving ~155k by the end of today. I am ecstatic right now!

Edit: Already received money in UB account, total refund: $234,871. What shall I spend it on?

Hey 2p2,

Ive been lurking on this site for a month or so since a friend told me about the UB scandal. I've been refunded >10K and would like to toke the appropriate people, as a year and half ago I never thought I'd see the money again. If someone who was involved could post who on 2P2 helped uncover this so I could can give them my thanks it would be appreciated.

I only got $1450, but I'll take it. To me it's like free money as I thought I wasn't cheated.

I almost never play the highest NL games, I thought all the cheating predated my time on ub, and I have none of the cheating account names in my PT.

Maybe it was just a really long investigation, but I think reworking this thread (OP summary and sticky) and maybe even the threat of bad WSOP press via the t-shirt campaign may have spurred on this result. So thank you to everyone involved here.

I got $2200 back, thanks for the hard work guys. I rarely play on UB and had just uninstalled their software yesterday, in response to this thread.

Anyone got any GulahPapyrus vs. NioNio hand histories?

Thanks again.
