Talbot is so rich its unlikely he would need to embezzle funds. The company coulda been operating at a loss for other reasons but i go back to my original thought which is this sorta company does not have a ton of overhead so unless they invested unwisely, i feel like the liquidation came about because they were about to lose their cash cows (bfp and r9) and not because they were out of cash. it may be an optimistic view but if it's true, a lot of the money should be there still.. we'll see!

also, not to hijack at all but a friend of mine has been told by Carlos Poker (Ipoker skin) that they don't have his funds available when he attempted to withdraw. yikes.

its really amazing how long that takes and it really look like it will take much more , but it would be nice if the liquidator could post some numbers , for example how much money is left so far...etc.

Battlefield Poker, where is the good news you have said over and over in this thread that would be coming soon? Getting annoying now.

Last time I asked that, Battlefield came back saying the liquidators weren't talking and so his/her/their hands were tied.

Great how our cash is paying for the liquidators, yet they won't give us any details.

Any answer from them?

I still think we need to get this story out, Ok its on wiki but who looks up wicki before playing on a poker site? Liquadations dont take that long here in Ireland a company goes into it 500ppl lose jobs and its sorted in a month or 2. And rakeupdate now have 2 prima sites so everyone is just getting on with it forgetting it happened. Someone good with words get a paper to write a story about it. Plz.

I was just wondering since we never even knew we were dealing with Tusk- it is was not in the T&C to my belief, I think we might have legal recourse against Microgaming and Microgaming subsequently has legal recourse against Tusk. Is this the case? Could we sue Microgaming and Microgaming would legally be entitled to sue Tusk, but since there wouldn't be any money left Micro would be left to eat the loss- this is down the line of course, but it could be possible?

Also, most judges would be very sympathetic to our case because of how the whole thing went down, they do not like companies ripping off people and may interpret or even read in to current statutes just to get us our money and show how they will not tolerate any form of white collar "crime".

I read the updated cliffnotes, but was unable to see the current status of this matter - So, basically, none of you all have been paid yet, and don't anticipate it (at this point)? If so what a bummer.

When this first went down I was hoping to get 50% of my money back. At this point I have written it off (although I am still hoping that I might see somethign from the liquidators). My only real hope is that MGS steps up to help us.

Pretty much I am proceeding as if it is all lost at this point (took out loan and cancelled a summer trip), as I can't afford to rely on seeing this money.

This is actually the second option... the liquidators might give us some monies, wich i still expect to be done.

Yeah I've been wondering where we stand with regards to not even knowing we were dealing with Tusk alright.

As far as I was concerned my money was going into Battlefield and they were responsible for it, had no idea there was a third party (other than MGS possibly) active who were dealing with player balances. No mention of it when signing up, depositing etc.

How did you/your dad/lawyer get on with regards to finding out the structure of the company? You mentioned previously that he thought that it was illegal for a company of such structure (presumed) to not hold player balances in trust, any news on that?

My dad has been emailing them, but he thinks he it just a muppet that is responding on advice from the higher ups telling him it is pooled and therefere not a secured creditor. My dad believes otherwise and is pursuing other methods.
Is Interpol just for Europe or for the whole world and just mainly operates out of Europe?

Not too sure about Interpol myself. Great to hear your dad has been contacting them etc.
