But in this thread, no one's getting ****ed - they're getting money they never should have expected. I mean, if the government had seized all this money from AP & UB and held on to it all this time, I suppose you could try to make the case that the government owes interest on the money. But in this case, I'm pretty sure the majority, if not all, of the money is coming from the Poker Stars settlement. AP/UB ****ed everyone (shocking!), and now the government is making people good. I think the only place you could argue interest should be coming from is AP/UB, and that isn't happening for obvious reasons.
Or am I misunderstanding where these funds are coming from?
