I agree with pokeraddict. I really have a hard time envisioning a scenario whereby we get good news around October 31st, although any kind of update or communication at this point would be positive.

Assuming they owe approximately 50 million, I'm sure they have a few million available to them right now. But, unless they get money "unfrozen" by the DOJ, they certainly aren't going to have anywhere near enough cash to pay everyone in full. So, hopefully the lawyers from Blank/Rome were able to get some cash unfrozen. And, even if they did accomplish this, I would guess this still would not cover all player liabilities. Therefore, it would be necessary for UB and AP to currently be generating a profit, to eventually make up the difference. However, this certainly can't be the case as the traffic is virtually dead.

I hope I'm wrong, but we'll see what happens. Like I said, any communication at this point would be positive.

cashier is working for me now too, but have been waiting for my 250$ from both ap/ub since 9/29/2011 8:13:08 PM... still pending. smh

and fwiw the live help is down

Is UB/AP allowing any transfers for anybody?
I would like to know if the offers made in transfer threads are viable.

bank transfer just hit my bank

Europeans and Canadians have been using transfer after BF sucessfully selling increments of money for around 0.15$ a dollar lately, the transfer takes like 10min to clear tho.

But yeah I have been trading money back and forth on there after black friday.

when did you request it?

Thanks.

I've heard of possible cashier problems due to IE update.

Anyone able to make a transfer is having them go through instantly.

My bank transfer from Absolute that I requested on August 10th was authorized on Sept 28th and then subsequently cancelled on Oct 6th. In the cashier window under my payout history, the withdrawal is listed as "Rejected". When I hover my mouse of the word "Rejected" I get a little pop-up that say that "Unfortunately there has been a problem at a banking level that do not allow us to process the transaction. Kindly choose from another one of our payment options." (The grammar error in the quote is theirs.) Also under account history under the credits history field it notes the following: "[Adjustment] Withdrawal request Cancelled (by customer)," even though I obviously didn't cancel the withdrawal.

I was able to get a bank transfer from UB in August, so there is nothing wrong with my bank, but clearly something wrong with Absolute. They also have yet to respond to my email inquiry.

Is this to be interpreted as a standard formality from
KGC or any weight behind it?

either way we are screwed, one interpretation is worse than the other.

At least there is chance that we get some pennies from the furniture they will sell...

Dear xxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting us.

We understand that there is some speculation circulating about the current status of account withdrawals for Non-US players. For you personally, we recognize that this raises some concern about your pending payout at Absolute Poker/UB and why it is taking longer than usual to complete.

At this time, we must advise you that all Non-US player payouts currently in the queue for processing have been placed on hold. This decision has been taken in the interests of expediting the process of distributing funds to all qualified players. We want to assure you that the distribution of player funds has been, and remains, our highest priority.

To this end, you should know that we are currently in active discussions with a number of parties about potential sales opportunities, and we continue to work diligently to devise a solution that will allow us to distribute funds to players. This has been, however, a complicated process, and the determination of appropriate mechanisms for the safe and efficient distribution of funds to players has proven to be an especially difficult task.

Nevertheless, despite a series of formidable obstacles, we believe that we are close to finalizing a well-considered process of distributing funds to players that will be fair for all account holders. We expect, therefore, to issue a statement in the near future, providing the details of this process.

Please understand that ongoing legal negotiations have restricted our ability to communicate publicly more frequently about these matters. We hope that you will understand.

We appreciate your patience during this difficult period, and we will provide you with further information at an appropriate time in the near future.

Regards,
Jake
