Wonder how many people could have made back their FTP balances if instead of reading and posting in this thread, theyd worked a $5/h job.

It would 100% be the 2nd option. Jen is not a random woman on Twitter. She is a well known and well respected member of the poker community and would never ever lie or make something like this up. Whether or not something happens today or not - there is zero doubt (at least in my mind and many others) that she heard something would happen and heard it from a reliable source.

She works for Pokerstars btw.

Monday Monday, can't trust that day,
Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how could you leave and not take me.

Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday, ...

Did Wendeen not imply that Jennifer Newell's "source" was essentially Wendeen's own article?

If no announcement, it would be awesome to at least get a DF article today. No announcement plus no DF article makes 2+2 go something something.

Been at work all day. Cliffs from today? Clearly nothing has happened, but has there been any word from anyone respected at all?

You could look it up to see that for yourself: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/few. Or you could just be incredibly obnoxious, decide to interpret her words in a way that she clearly didn't mean, and then declare that she's a liar if she doesn't live up to the words you put in her mouth.

Think about how much it must suck to be DF and read ridiculously mean and obnoxious crap like this. She's working her ass off to run a website that loses money and puts her in not-entirely-trivial legal risk to help you guys out, and *******s like you spend your time telling her that she sucks for all sorts of reasons.

I hope you don't behave this way off of the internet, and you should learn that anonymity isn't an excuse to be a huge dick.

Disagree. When you are refering to a limited amount of things a few is commonly used to refer to three. It could refer to more but in reference to a couple , a few often means three, then you can go to several or more.

If someone told me something would be done in a few days, I would assume three days and follow up at that point.

Past a few you have choices like many, several, a lot. A few definitely places a reasonable implication on three days.

I know nothing and this may mean nothing but I called SDNY press division and there are no press conferences scheduled for today.

Exactly.

Judge in charge of case will have to sign off on settlement. Hope this is done in open court and not "in camera" so we get as many details as possible.

In this case, I think a few days means 3-4 days.

Context is key. In this case DF knows 2p2 expects something on Monday or even sooner possibly BC of Eolis...so if we hear nothing by tomorrow then obviously something came up.

I have no reason to believe DF would purposefully mislead us. I think we need to realize it might not be up to her... it's also pointless to conjecture about the wording... and more important to realize DF will get it right and to the public asap

If there is indeed a press release then only PS FTP or doj can decide when
And I hope they give eolis the finger.

Hasn't DF said all along that the DOJ dropping the civil charges against Isai is not a sticking point in negotiations?

Real Deal Poker. They're going to drag it out just to get back at all of us for making fun of them.

I'm well aware there's a difference between civil and criminal charges. That's why I asked the question.
