What you have to remember is that this audit would provide a road map to every single cent of every single players funds. If the wrong person gets a hold of that then a police department like the one in Maryland would be holding a very large check with all our players funds in it, at which point all the players would be then asking us for their money back. We just cant take that risk with your money.
My personal track record?
I have been part of the poker community for almost 13 years. You won't be able to name one instance where I lied, scammed, slow-paid, or broke my promises.
Shane has been trying to discredit me in recent days, because some troll sent him a link to a story about a scammer on my forum. That's what happens when you run a poker forum, Shane. You can't do a background check on everyone that posts there, so obviously there will be a few scammers and other unsavory characters among the group. But you can't blame me for that, just as you can't blame Mason for scammers on 2+2.
But stop attacking the messenger. This isn't about me. Nobody in this or any of the Lock threads cares if I'm a good guy or a bad guy, because I'm not the one they have to trust. I'm not the one holding their money hostage and lying (errrrr, I mean "deflecting") to them. That would be you, Jennifer, and everyone else who is part of the uber-shady Lock management team.
If you don't trust me to find a reputable auditing firm that will take on the Lock job, that's fine.
I'm sure we can come up with a mutually agreed-upon, neutral third-party who can find such a firm.
Jennifer stated in her interview that she isn't refusing to have this audit, but simply wasn't able to find a firm that could promise not to cave to DOJ pressure and be willing to take the job.
I am stating that such a firm
CAN be found, and that I know plenty of neutral third parties (people who don't dislike Lock) who would be willing to take the job to identify several from which Lock can choose.
Time to state the truth, Shane:
Lock will not allow their books to be audited because they have spent almost all of the player money.
You state that the other US-facing sites would not submit to such an audit.
The difference is that these sites have run mostly scandal-free during their existence. While it would be great if all sites proved themselves with an audit (as Pokerstars voluntarily did several years ago), it's most important to audit the ones with a recent track record of dishonesty and highly questionable financial health.
It's like a guy with five DUIs asking why he has an ignition-breathalyzer hooked up to his car, while everyone else at the bar is free to start their car without proving they're not drunk. The difference is that he has five DUIs and everyone else at the bar doesn't. When you keep offending, the burden on you to prove your future innocence is much higher.
Nobody (aside from a few gullible, greedy pros) trusts Lock, and for good reason.
You want us to believe all of Jennifer's nonsensical explanations regarding the recent issues (again, with zero proof presented), yet in the same breath you admit that you blatantly lied about the Portugal thing.
You have zero credibility.
Lock has zero credibility.
Until you present some PROOF that your statements are true, everything will be assumed to be a lie.
Go to Amazon and buy the children's book "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" if you still are having difficulty understanding this concept.
