I've said before, your all to blame for this mess, the dishonesty, and greed has ruined it for all of you. I've asked Pokerstars to pull ALL their sponsorship from EVERY live pro as you all are succeeding wonderfully at ruining their reputation. Barry Greenstien had a 700k loan for years, AND NEVER TRIED TO PAY IT BACK?!?!? Barry won't put the money in escrow in the meantime? Ivey owes 4-5 million, same deal!?!?! Doyle sticking up for a man who is CLEARLY more guilty than OJ!? It's way too late to keep pulling the wool over our eyes. Game over for all of you. Just a matter of time till your all broke with no sponsorships.
You old school live pros have ruined the game forever, I don't trust any of you. Well done in fooling me for 4-6 years though, well done indeed.
I'm sorry, but did any of those pros borrow money from YOU specifically? If not, then it's not up to you to ask them to place money in escrow to cover FTP owes you. The money FT loaned to its pros should've been kept separate from money owed to players -- meaning the money should've come from their own profits as opposed to player money. It was so ridiculous for FT to even mention the money it loaned pros because it had nothing to do with the fact that the company was irresponsible and mismanaged.
You should be angry with the companies, not the players. You being upset with the players is like you being upset with someone who took a loan from a banking institution that was mismanaged and taken over by the Feds. If YOU owe me money, I don't care if someone else owes you. "I can't pay you back because so-and-so owes me money." Tell you what, you sell your iPad, flatscreen TV and anything of value you own until you have the money you owe me. And when so-and-so pays you back then you can replace the stuff you just had to hawk in order to get me my money.
