lol I told a joke about poker players having debts but I'm the one that is mad. Student loan and federal aid for disasters would be the only debts you list lol. Yup, i got 6 figures of money and I'm mad. You must be a great poker player. Your reads are spot on.

My petition was filed during aug, when i ask them about it few days ago they told me that it is being reviewed. What does this mean exactly? Im a row player and i had less then 1k there.

Got my UltimateBet money directly into my checking account (US BANK) on Sept 29. USA Los Angeles, California.

I just found about this remission today, so obviously I've missed the deadline. Any idea if I can still get my $?

I'm pretty sure that just means you weren't on this wave of payments. You'll be approved and probably on the next wave of payments.

Thanks

I would have a question mainly for german player.

I've got my check two weeks ago,but i don't know how should and could I clear it. Originally I'am not german , but living here since 2014. I also don't have a bank account here yet,I have used only MB and Neteller so far.

Is there a specific Bank out there what u would recommend for me? How seriously deal with my check (its almost 10k). Do they have a duty to report this amount? Should i pay tax or anything? How will they react when I go there open an account for that amount?

Sorry for my english, I havent used for a long time.

Received email 8/18 - entered banking info 9/4. Still nothing. Got this reply today:


The payments went out last week. The ACH transfers can take a few days to hit the bank account. Please contact us at the end of the week if you did not receive the ACH payment to the bank account you indicated in your Petition.

How do you know there will be a second wave?

Larry

Fingers crossed

Still no checks row players ?

You know that was two weeks ago right? Payments sent out on the 29th.

Canada here. E-mailed them last week and received this e-mail today:


Thank you for contacting us. The checks have not been mailed.
Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for the checks to be processed.

Claims Administrator (AB)

you could always take a trip to the bank that issued the check, show proper id and get CASH

Yep I've gotten the same response a few times. That's customer service these days - a copy-pasted line whether you're waiting on $100 or $100,000.

Got this today re: next wave of US ACH transfers:

We do not have a specific timeframe when the next round of ACH payments will be made.

Please check back in about 2 to 3 weeks for an update.

I found a HEM sql backup from late 2010. I grepped it for those names but only saw Raiderduck not the others.

I got my payment a week or two a go, 24k. Glad to close this chapter of my life. Glad/lucky I still log in to twoplustwo even though I don't play anymore. That is how I found out about remission. Never received an email.

Been quiet here in this thread...

Update:

2013 taxes: I file an extension and pay but penalty is small and I thought I paid it. Has now grown to $1,200 and because it's been so long it's a treasury offset.

I get in touch with the IRS in Aug and paid it but still I am in the offset group. Also if you call Treasury Offset and they say "no debt" it likely means IRS.

I spoke with GCG lady thurs and told her that the people with offsets actually would like the money faster than those without offsets. She assures me sooner than later, and likely this month, and to call back thursday if still not there. "the doj simply has not released the money to us but I assure you you are in the first wave"

The IRS agent had visibility on the GCG/AP situation which is weird cause I am constantly amazed at what they know.

Be safe peeps. I had russ fox and reported fbar income/acct in 2011. I told my one friend who got a 7k return to wait for the irs to contact him. I told my other friend who got a 215k refund to contact a cpa now! Don't end up in jail like the full tilt guy with huge bankroll (btw anyone still have a link to that one?)

It's tricky because you ARE a victim of fraud yet that DEFINITELY is income but not normal income since you ARE a victim of fraud!

It’s not 100% income. You may have paid taxes on some of that income in prior years. Some of that is return of investment (if you were like me you got lots of reload bonuses during the party poker days)

definitely get in front of this though. Your final return won’t be due until sep of 2018 if you extend, butnits good to plan now

If you are going to have an extra 50,000 of taxable income,
Might be a good time to sell some stocks at a loss or other things of that nature.

Got my Cheque today (UK) any other Europeans got theirs yet?

Thoughts on exchange rate?

I received the smallest one of the two cheques I'm expecting today. Exchange rate seemed ok?
I'm UK too.

I got paid around 2% less than the exchange rate on the day the cheque was made (29th September).

Not a huge issue, and inevitable i suppose, considering the balances have already been converted to GBP by a Natwest account in Dublin.

Main thing is we've got our cheques!!

UK player here and also received my cheque today as well. 90 days to cash it. Mine from a NatWest in Dublin also. Congratulations to anyone who had serious money tied up and is finally getting it.

Also got the cheque today (UK)

Exchange rate was ok as the GBP / US$ rate was slightly higher when the cheque was issued (about 1.35)
