Someone should go through and find a list of things that DN said were "obvious" about this deal that all turned out to be untrue.

If this goes through, you will start seeing people who were consistently pessimistic and saying "there's no way anybody gets their money back" etc., trying to revisit history and make it look like they were just skeptical about the GBT deal, when most of them said the same thing about the PS deal as well.

Would be nice if Ray were to spill his guts to the feds and we found out who knew, who authorized, and who all benefited.

It may not matter. They were apparently stupid enough to put a lot of it in writing. Though considering that Ray is facing life and ~97% of DoJ cases end in settlement, pretty good odds he'll be talking at some point.

Not sure which was more absurd, believing Tapie would fork out the money or that signing a tennis player would legitimize online poker.

I swear Monday there better be some SERIOUS facts. Like, we better at least know within 99.9% accuracy what is going to happen. Not only because these past few days have been a TON of "deal is done, deal is dead, FACTS COMING NEXT WEEK". But because it's been nearly a year and a half and we've basically been in the dark. It's time for this to ****ING END.

Basically a running joke on this thread since he began promising payouts from Tapie based on IM conversations with Scott Matusow, then claimed to have a verified top level source inside PokerStars promising an announcement would be made before the WSOP began.

He sticks to posting his 'inside info' on a different forum now.

That post that went something like "it puts the real news on its skin or it gets the hose again" is easily one of the funniest things I've ever read on these forums

So stupid, isnt it PJ... and before we go putting any of wedeens face on anything, lets verify tomorrow and see what else happens. I mean I dont mean to sound negative but if we keep getting something every week, saying its going to happen this week of course its going to. It will pry happen when we least expect it....
