I guess maybe I should also note. Now that I am back home from the airport I see that I can still login to my FTP account and play. So maybe the sky is not falling for me as much as I thought and I just need to take a deep breath and relax...

The fact that you keep getting investigated by FT and you give these long answers with tons of extra information, seems extremely suspicious to me. Not accusing you of anything. Just telling you how it looks to an impartial observer. Just give them the info they want and try and fight it if they close your account.
Ok, so you guys probably right about more information, but I just don't understand what is wrong with that. If I don't say much people would probably say i'm not giving full disclosure. I haven't done anything wrong so I've got nothing to hide. The fact that people find that suspicious is exactly why i have my "paranoia" about stuff like this. Like people are always looking for witch hunts and crap and thing everything is 'suspicious'.

How many hands do you have with each?
I'm Big Tuna JKo, I play high stakes SNGs and PLO cash games. I don't know who any of these players are.

I do have a Verizon wireless air card as a back up connection though so that sounds like it is probably the source of the problem.

Probably a good idea. If you're still feeling paranoid or this doesn't turn out the way you feel it should, you could try PMing FTPSean

When this is all over, you might want to check out this thread:

Computer Help

Forgive my spam for a Commercial Marketplace advertiser, but he comes highly recommended for computer issues. Of course, if it's hardware issues, he might not be as much help.

To the best of my knowledge FTP and Stars have never permanently closed an account unjustly. If this was Microgaming/Prima or another super shady don't ever play there site I'd be scared but if your innocent your almost 100% to be fine.

Did you log into your account from any other computers during the period they are asking about? Maybe you logged into a public computer somewhere to transfer monies and you got tagged w some scammer who used the same pc... Just a thought, I got a few more bonuses to grind and I'm cashing out my tilt account, been a loyal reg for years and they screwed me for the last time w this black card /weighted contributed rakeback.

FTP seems on some kind of crusade, yesterday received email telling that I was chip dumping and requiring explanation wrt my relationship with (suprise!!!) myself

minutes later second email came, account released, but later friend of mine was banned because dumping chips to me.

it looks quite strange, especialy because we play different limits and don't have hands between each other

looks like they testing some anti-collusion system which activates on withdrawal and is kinda buggy ))

now i'm in middle of email conversation trying to find out where i am, no clear picture so far, just lame excuses like "we can't discuss other people accounts"

surely i'm going to withdraw my part of BR from FTP, risk/reward ratio playing in such unreliable room sucks

Ok,
Just woke up and saw FTP security sent another e-mail that makes things sounds much less severe than the last e-mail. So I supposed I don't actually "need help" just yet like I put in the the thread title. Being away from home and stuck on airplanes was really just tilting me and it looks like I was overreacting.

today's e-mail:
Hi xxxxxx,

Thank you for your prompt response. We have received and verified the documents you attached to your previous email.
We would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that our investigation into your account is merely a standard security review due to association anomalies.

Obviously, we can not give specifics regarding the case for security reasons, but please rest assured that it is never the intention of Full Tilt Poker to "ban a long time winning player because I'm taking $ out of their rake". The remit of our Security department is to protect the integrity of our games and players. Any other agenda would clearly be counter-productive.

You are also correct to include as much detail in your replies as possible. Full disclosure of any detail - no matter how small - always assists our enquiries and will lead to a swifter resolution to any issue. We thank you for taking the time to detail your thoughts and concerns.

That being said, whilst we appreciate your descriptions regarding your IP changes, we are sure you can appreciate that we are well aware of all IP data, erroneous or otherwise and case decisions are made using far more comprehensive analysis, across many specific details.

As you are aware, we have taken no action against your account. Your Player ID merely appeared during a standard historical review, thus the reason for requesting details about actions which occured at the turn of this year.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email. We hope we have gone some way to allay any fears you may have had.

We thank you for your continued cooperation, should you remember any details which you feel may be relevant to this investigation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

Martin
Security Supervisor
Full Tilt Poker
