I seriously doubt Lock is nearly as large as you think they are.

Yes, this would be good advice if you want a second or third comment. I am careful and it will not lead anywhere. I could be using a VPN. Or I could have a friend write this for me from a location, where me or my friend do not live, work, visit, or vacation, or could be connected to us. Or I could be using a
3rd method. Or I could be just repeating information that everyone has heard already. Keep talking about this it is important.

Will your second or third comment contain anything not already known/speculated? Why did you write as though M.J. Hugenholtzweg is a person?

Jen? Probably works from home, too. They probably have a guy on call somewhere in case of server issues. Who else would they really need?

This is not a serious company. This is not a company that even vaguely has its **** together. This company literally seems like something that 2-3 people, with zero experience, are trying to hold together over Skype.

They seem like almost the worst business-people ever assembled -- they're almost certainly the worst run poker room ever. Every single aspect of their business is complete fail -- you can't even argue that they're half-decent at any particular service they offer.
pff Shane

he had Berlin, Germany as his place at Skype

than it changed to Split, Croatia

he already blocked me or deleted me .. but i dont think an office is moving around the world, so he probably works from home

all the sky is falling posters are somewhat responsible for lock's troubles. maybe that's a good thing. maybe it's not.

personally i think the posts in this forum were unbalanced. lock did pay me 100% of my cashouts for years. of course they took way too long, and they were capped. BUT they did pay every time.

if some random casual player googled lock and found this forum, that player would probably not read a post about how lock did pay every time so far, but it just took too long. that player would read a 100 posts about how lock is a scam.

we only suspected lock of being a scam. we didn't know. if we could cause this much paranoia about any bank, we could start a run on that bank and make it nonviable(without a govt bailout). many businesses operate without enough cash to handle extreme situations. for all we know lock might have righted itself if we didn't ruin it's reputation.

of course lock might have been a scam. my point is that we really don't know. and we sort of judged and convicted them.

I'm not sure what you mean by "they pay every time so far". They are months behind on payments and have been progressively getting slower for quite some time. Were you expecting anyone to get a check for 50% of their cash out amount?

And yes, anyone other than a complete fool knows that Lock does not have all player funds. All of their behavior is consistent with that, and there really is no other reasonable explanation for everything that's gone on.
