I'm not sure exactly what we're debating at this point, but leaving aside the broader issues of the PR business in general, I fail to see why the PR people for the DoJ would know a damn thing.

It's not their JOB to know anything.

It's their job to take the message given to them by their bosses and deliver it to the public, while wordsmithing/spinning that message if necessary.

Sample dialog from last Fall:

PR: Hey boss, what can we tell the people bugging us about Full Tilt?

Boss: Tell them to go F themselves, we'll do something about Full Tilt whenever we get around to it.

PR: Surely you jest.

Boss: Don't call me Shirley. But you're right. We can't tell them the truth.

PR: Of course not.

Boss: Tell them we'll announce the processor in... I don't know... January. That's next year and stuff.

PR: We shouldn't implicitly guarantee anything... can I say we'll "expect" to name a processor by then?

Boss: Sure, that's fine.

PR: BTW, what's a processor?

Boss: Do you really care?

PR: No. Toodles. (finger-waves goodbye)

Boss: If they start bugging you again in February, tell them an announcement will be coming "soon" or "in two weeks" or "imminently" or whatever. And don't call me Toodles.

All I did was call this number and ask for to be transferred to the press room regarding online poker. (212) 637-2627 I got a person immediately.

I was simply told that there would be an announcement probably next week. (I suppose this could mean the week after.) Usually press people will not say this unless it's true because they know you will be calling back and they don't want to be hassled when there is nothing coming.

What this person said confirms what I was told by someone else at DoJ. It's just that simple. Nothing less, nothing more. Perhaps the "announcement" won't even be a big deal or very informative or perhaps it will. In any case I do not expect all that much to happen soon. The wheels of justice do grind slowly.

fixed

It's almost next week!!! Then we can start looking forward to the next, next week! I love this full tilt saga.

Yeah, my wife and I are trying to pay off our house this year. Without the money, we are looking to do it by December. With the money, we could do it probably September. It just sucks having to deal in "what ifs" for money that is yours and should already be in your bank account.

One thing for sure about the full tile saga is communication to the public since day one has been open honest and text book on how you keep people informed.

Everyone at every stage has known exactly what is going on and when to expect there money.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Whatever it takes to prevent people from sitting in the corner, rocking and babbling incoherently, is ok by me.

Great another previously banned troll trying to come back.

they should just hit us with the Howard L "When were Rdy"

You must really be new to this thread! You are poking a Cape Buffalo. Good Luck

please lock this thread

Called again. Surprise surprise, answer is "soon". Asked if this could be another month or two seeing as "soon" has been the answer for the past few months. She said she couldn't elaborate.

So...here's hoping the 2 year anniversary of Black Friday qualifies as "soon".

Been some positive speculation about the DOJ having already hired the processor and that they are waiting to have more details before an announcement. But I am really starting to doubt that they even have a processor lined up yet. Why would they keep saying "soon" instead of simply saying the processor is hired, we will make a more formal announcement when more details can be provided. This "soon" stuff is nothing but a stall tactic and a lame way to blow somebody off.

Nope, never been banned. I like to check in on this thread since I have a decent amount of money tied up at the moment. Its funny that you call me a "troll" when most of your idiotic posts are "next week" jokes. If anything you should be banned for not adding any value to this thread, just lame sophomoric jokes that nobody laughs at besides yourself. You should try getting out more...

I heard from an inside source that the DOJ confused Bee Dogs with Bee Cats and that is why they've fallen behind...

^^ Happiest I've been in a while reading this thread.

Can't believe I got sucked into this thread again.

PS. Next week.

Welcome back husker money
