AP, rigged, etc. #8981.4 - the plot thickens - Page 4

While at Nine.com, AJ had a portrait done of himself that hung on his wall over his desk. The photo was a picture of him "American Beauty' style laying spread out on his futon covered in hundred dollar bills.

PokerListings twists the knife... check out the titles on their latest stories:

* Absolute Poker Debacle Continues

* Absolute Poker Condemned by Poker Players

* Absolute Poker Reports Security Breach

* Absolute Poker Debacle Results in Audit

(see http://www.pokerlistings.com/more-ne...e-poker-19451)

This is a good example of how an influential, top-traffic affiliate site with excellent search results placement can help threaten the brand value of AP. (Search for "absolute poker" on google and a PokerListings link is on the first page.) The true owner of AP is a few million dollars poorer every time his brand is degraded like this. If the beatings continue he may judge it better to do a thorough house-cleaning.

Yes, AJ Green might then bring Mr Big's name into the open, along with a dozen other minority shareholders who are living in the US and aren't inclined to renounce their citizenship. But keeping AJ quiet doesn't guarantee that this info stays secret. It sounds like there are a lot of people in the business who are watching with glee as AJ and Scott go down. An enterprising young reporter might be able to put the story together without AJ's help. Mr Big has to figure this into his calculations...

I'm an idiot, it was "Grimard" not Grimald.

Here's the cybersquatting doc:

Yes. Swiss Chalet was mentioned in the document.

Complainant is the owner of numerous trademarks and service marks for the mark SWISS CHALET. The mark was first registered in Canada in 1967 in connection with food for human consumption and related restaurant items, and has since been registered in the United States (December 22, 1992), the United Kingdom (June 10, 1982), the Soviet Union (June 9, 1993), Japan (August 31, 1993), and several other countries. Since the 1950's, Complainant has used the marks in signage and advertising to promote its restaurant business in Canada and elsewhere. Complainant operates 181 restaurants in the United States and Canada specializing in rotisserie chicken and ribs under the SWISS CHALET mark. This includes 135 SWISS CHALET restaurants in Ontario alone, and ten within the Ottawa/Kanata region, including one in Kanata proper.

The domain name at issue was registered on December 21, 1999, by an entity named Impreshun.com, located at 10 Stokes Crescent, Kanata, Ontario, Canada. On April 6, 2000, Impreshun.com emailed the Complainant, identified itself as the broker for an unnamed owner, and offered to lease, rent, or otherwise transfer the use of the domain name to Complainant. Complaint, Annex 5. The sender of the email was identified as Allan J. Grimard, President & CEO of Impreshun.com. Sometime between April 14, 2000, and May 10, 2000, Impreshun.com transferred the domain name at issue to Respondent, and on May 10, 2000, documents requesting transfer of the registration were submitted to Network Solutions. The transfer request document identifies Allan Grimard as both the owner of Impreshun.com and the owner of Wave Comunicaciones, C.A. Response, Annex 6.

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!

best "exciting implications" spot EVER!!!

I am SOOOO glad I got my whole roll off of AP and UB. If you have any money on there guys seriously get it off...this "your money is safe in absolute is baloney"....these companies use "player funds" for "expenses" all the time..and if they go under no you will not get your money back.

(p.s. this goes for tons of pokersites but NOT pokerstars, that's why I'm so thankful they insured our money at a legit bank, A+ job stars, way to be a step above everyone else)

Can someone explain to me how gambling911.com can be such an inept journalistic source? Set aside their grammar and spelling mistakes in all of their articles. First members of their site are seen in pictures with AJ Green, and then their articles include little tidbits information of info like, "AJ, who has a fondness for mushrooms (not the kind you eat), is probably wishing at this point he was tripping out real bad." Really? Their website is more comedy than it is journalism.

Something a little suspicious, although it's prob not important:

The cybersquatting ruling says that AJ was the owner of the impreshun.com domain name. Well, the whois info for that domain shows that it was re-registered just 2 days ago (roughly the same time the cybersquatting link first appeared in these threads) by an anonymous domain registrar. Is there any way of finding out what the whois info was for this domain 3 days ago? (e.g. before it was re-registered anonymously)

If you search Impreshun- one of the links you come across is an old collections and dispute thread for a supposed buy of premium search engine placement for Impreshun.com names.

Why isn't this shocking...

Scott Tom's name is back again in that article. If that article is true then denials of knowledge are not going to work.
