UB's was stolen in outright criminal fashion (like everything they did over the years), and Full Tilt's was stolen in the "We'll borrow from the players and pay them back at some point if we can" sort of fashion.
But without Black Friday, the damage would have been much worse.
Also, if you knew that UB was owned by the same people as the cheaters and still played there, you deserved to get ripped off. You continued to support a criminal enterprise that unapologetically stole from our community, just because there were "good games" due to the moral pros leaving.
If you were either ignorant to the whole scandal, or somehow convinced by the Prahlad/Sebok lies that there were "new owners", then I actually do feel bad for you.
I actually have a few friends who played on UB 'til the bitter end, and while we are still friends, all of them took their lumps and kept their mouths shut when Black Friday hit. Basically, their collective attitude was, "Yeah, we kinda deserved this, and we knew the risks."
With that said, I would rather see you guys get repaid from the "fund" than the DOJ keep the money (even the ones who kept playing on UB despite knowing the same owners were there), so good luck with your quest.
This was said hundreds of times within this thread in a hundred different ways, so rather than waste your time writing this post out, you could have copy and pasted somebody else's post a couple pages back. Your post would have been the same.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having to read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
