It's a stupid ****ing joke these people can get away with such carelessness, then turn around and STILL not require funds to be segregated. How in good Christ are we supposed to be content with this, or any news we get, when all these people have done is insult and lie to the players from day one?

What I think we need is somebody who is very informed, and has the medium to give the players a voice. Know anybody?
I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't direct your anger at the AGCC, just that you shouldn't be doing so on the grounds of them "needing a year to complete an investigation filled with information they should already have had at hand", as that's not what happened.

Jesus you guys are putting a lot of mental equity in today. Not saying it won't happen but given the history of this terrible ride please for your own sanity try to keep cool.

Splitting hairs, no?

I'm pretty sure we have every right to be mad at the AGCC for whatever reason we want when it's all part of the same coverup story. Because, in reality, does 3 months or a year really matter when we still haven't been paid? The AGCC is a lazy bunch of ******s that got caught with their pants down, contributed to innocent people being robbed of over $300 million and is only trying to save face (and failing--miserably). Period.

I mean c'mon. #1-63? We're supposed to take that seriously?

I know you guys just want to play poker, I say "you guys" because I'm in the US and won't be playing any online poker anytime soon even if this deal goes through and players are repaid, but a strong message should be sent to the online gaming regulators of the world. Tell them if they don't adequately do their jobs then you won't give the sites they regulate any business.

Going right back and playing on FTP if they get regulated by LOL Alderney again sends the wrong message to the online regulators of the world. It says you can fail miserably in your responsibilities but we're so degen it doesn't even really matter. Not good for the online poker community as a whole imo.

Yea, you're right. 390 million being taken from players and one of the two biggest sites on the planet failing is much better for the poker community. Thanks for your opinion. You've been wishing against the players for a long time either because you like to preach from your high horse and it makes you feel good about yourself or you have some other motive. Pipe down.

Everyone notice how the top 5 posters in this thread are the ones constantly trying to push how bad a deal this is or how bad GBT is? They have an agenda. Eyescrew, you're soon passing hdemet for number 1 poster in this thread. Hmmmmm.

Seems like nothing is going to happen today outside of the BS AGCC report?

Obv rooting for good news, but not getting hopes up at all.

People should stop putting high hopes for specific days imo, takeover deals can take a long time and the time is probably very hard to predict. If the deal was dead or in jeopardy we'd be hearing credible claims about that imo. But the only thing credible things we're hearing are positive, so relax and play some pokers or something .

Be very good if you were right, but I don't think anybody really knows jack **** bout this, I really hope to be proven wrong and you are Nostradamus
03-27-2012 , 11:10 AM
whats different from most days is most days we get zero news at all, a reputable site saying "we got a news article coming up a bit later" is already something.
03-27-2012 , 11:10 AM
I dont think anything we gonna hear something today. It's already 5.00 pm in Europe. I put my money on wednesday. Wish they have a live press conference to let us know. That would be exciting.
03-27-2012 , 11:11 AM
the tweet is probably about the AGCC

How the **** do you read bolded from my post? I said players shouldn't give business to a site overseen by an inept regulator and your attempt to put a different spin on it fails miserably. Perhaps it is you that should pipe the **** down???

I challenge you to find one post where I'm in any way "wishing" against poker players.
