My retraction of certain statements made about UltimateBet and Joe Norton - Page 4 - Poker News

What a way to do a retraction, tell the truth (with the links listed in the original post so that people can make up their own minds), while giving the powers that be at UB, the big middle finger while your doing it (and in such a way to avoid lawsuit).

Kudo's to the OP!

None of this is going to make any difference. Yay for hollow internet victories. I don't know how any of us peasants can have a real impact. **** all the pros that sold their souls to these sites for money. If I ever see any of them in a casino again, and I will, I am going to harass them until I get security called on me. That ****er Seif is the worst of all of them.

It's always about money and power. They have it. We don't.

I live in Montreal, the RCMP and the provincical police are always investigating the Natives, they are on their back and they could raid them tomorrow if they wanted to...but they don't....WHY? because they don't want another OKA crisis of 1990, where there was a standoff between the provincial police and the Indians. Pure politics, the feds are just letting them get away with murder (in this case...not murder but serious $$$$$$$$$$).

Def would be interesting if you scanned the letter so we could all have the contact info for their legal counsel. Wonder if that would be the place to start if someone ever wanted to try serving them with a lawsuit of some sort.

anyone thats gone to school at potsdam knows the pot is cheap there because there's an indian res on both sides of the border and that they run pot over on boats in the summer and snow mobiles in the winter. it's the kinda place that you'd think was a movie shoot cause if customs runs up on them in boats they'll ram them and get into a shootout. it's no secret that it goes on but i always wondered why the media never discussed it or why the government couldnt shut it down.

This is extremely impressive. Chief Norton's legal advice clearly misread this one. Whoops.

The Canadian feds need to stop pussying around and raid these Mofos. The ATF would have already burned their asses to the ground!

CF, you are officially my favorite poster on 2+2.

Chief Norton, you're an embarassment to the Mohawk nation. I look forward to the day where you are hauled off to prison. Hopefully that day is coming soon.

Exactly -

It's really sad to realize that gambling used to be controlled by the Italian Mafia - everyone knew the rules- now online gambling is controled
by the Aborigonal Mafia-we have really sunk so low
