lol, what about us Americans? we haven't received sh.it

hehe yeah it's a pretty self-centered way to view it but to be fair he did specify "with the hand they were dealt". Post BF once mr.Prasad down in Malta calls up Leggett and says "uh yeah you know that number you asked for the other day... well it's 6m... sry brah" is there really a great ending possible? It's not like Cereus controls outside interest from miracle investors. Sign a deal with the ppl that have some of your millions and use the remaining millions to lawyer up I guess.

It's much more interesting to look at how we got there in the first place as opposed to how well it was handled once we got there (by there I mean 6m of liquid and having 2/3rds of your player base in a "dangerous" market)

4 figure* (maybe)

5 figure is impossible.

6 months x 4.3 weeks x $250 a week = $6,450 max possible payout not that anyone got anything close to that

I'm glad to see you get paid in full with essentially what is left of our collective absolute money.

UB paid there props 500 a week + whatever they raked, 250 when they changed it to 250.

I see... thanks for the correction.

Only makes me feel more cheated though.

Actually it was easy enough to open multiple accouts transfer your funds and withdraw on every account using insta debit. If you did this from day 1 it's easy to cash out 5 figs. Only problem is by the time I thought of that it was too late

They obviously got there by robbing their customers.

I would be interested to know what the reserves looked like in Oct of 2006 for each of the separate entities. It would also be interesting to know what the reserves were in late 2008 when the two rooms finally combined. Finally, I would like to know what the reserves looked like in 2010 when they "settled" with Excapsa. Excapsa ended up with almost exactly the same amount of cash that is missing and it seems likely the majority of the player base came from the UB side. A little less than a third of that cash was supposedly given over to pay for the fraud (the evidence doesn't support Leggett actually paying out the total) but the rest was disbursed to UB founders.

I think folks on a poker forum discussed it at some length.

does anyone realize they still have their former site pros listed as current pros on all UB-related sites?

why would anyone consider they would be paid back by such a consistent group of scumbags?
11-07-2011 , 02:06 AM
You're right. My view was personal, they handled my situation different than others. Of course I feel for American players. My wording obviously wasn't upto par, but I was trying to speak for myself. To the person who didn't believe my figure, I had approx 14K that I received slowly. They only had 250max for the first month or so, then it was increased several times. I'm sure they have handled some of your situations badly, but they handled mine fairly well comparitively to FTP. When this started I thought for sure my FTP would be received, and cereus would bail. I'm grateful it didnt work out like that.

Once again, extremely sorry if I offended anyone. That was inconsiderate.

If you have the link to the thread discussing these documents, it would be appreciated (or some kind of summary). I began reading, but there's just way too much lawyer verbiage. From what I read so far it seems Gordon and Norton are just figuring out ways to payoff imaginary debt with site proceeds while transferring ownership and limiting the liability of certain parties.

well this wasn't true for everyone, because I know a few props who got barely anything out.

my apologies I shouldn't speak on behalf of all, they never missed a payment to me until the end.

your wrong.


props did get weekly payouts for awhile.

if you had a visa it was as high as a 1000 for awhile.

plus 80-90% of whatever rake you generated.

Of course it didnt last even after being told payouts would be weekly and on time.
11-07-2011 , 04:19 PM
Has Cereus communicated anything at all about how or when this will happen since the first communication?

Has the DOJ reacted yet?

We are getting some money back, but are we looking at a Tusk scenario where it takes years for us to get paid, while in the meantime lawyers and liquidators suck the assets dry?

Sailboats was a prop too. So was I. We didn't receive any preferential treatment. In fact, all the US props were unceremoniously dismissed the day after BF. I haven't seen a dime. Prop managers stopped responding to AIMs and e-mails. Out in the dark like everyone else.

Maybe the international props received preferential treatment, I can't speak to that. I would tend to doubt it though.

That's exactly what happened after BF all the prop supervisors were fired I got a random email from a "new supervisor" and he manually processed my payouts weekly. US props got the shaft once BF happened.
