Some things have come about Nick that greatly concern me (besides the way he treated me) and so I posted the following (and emailed him and sent Skype messages to him, too)...

OMG let it GO.......

LOL, it is at least $5K that I am talking about (that is what I shipped him from one of my PS Sunday Qtr Mill finishes) and could be a decent amount more with the other donations. I just want to make sure the money went where it was supposed to. These were my first posts about the subject (the ones from today). But thanks for your input.

???

im highly curious if the money ever got to the charity too.

Need a tissue Ray? Get over it already.

Wow, Two freaking posts on the subject (in two different threads on the same day) and some of you think there is something wrong with me (how about look in the mirror?). I want to make sure the money went where it was supposed to go and it is a lot of money to people who need it. Is there something wrong with that? I found out things in the last week that made me very concerned that it may have not. Thanks.

Nick's email response is below (after many emails asking for information that I could use to verify that the donation(s) were made) and it sounds like the money never made it to the Children's Hospital & Research Center in Oakland...

"Ray who put a timeline on when the donation had to be sent in? The plan was to raise money and I have actually sent emails back and forth with Stars about matching the donation.

I have made quite a few jokes about Piper not paying my car bill and being woken up in the middle of the night. Stuff happens and you are taking many things way out of context and wasting your time and energy on the wrong things.


Good luck
Nick"

From what I can tell on this thread, the donations from all weeks total around $6,000 (earlier I thought it could be as high as $7,000) and some of the donations from 2+2'ers are almost 4 months old. Also, the last time he ran this donation tournament was back in May so certainly he must have paid something by now, right? Well, I don't think he did according to his response above. He said it himself that he was not going to be saving up the money and sending it all at once…
“I am thinking that the best way would be to send in donation each week instead of saving up for the $100,000. Might as well help as soon as possible. If everyone transfers 50% of winnings to me I will send out a check Monday morning.”

And, on 3/30, he even said he withdrew the money and was going to send it after the first week...
"$206.76 is correct. Withdrew and sending check out tonight."

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...t#post17830240

Did you at least send this first check, Nick? Could you please provide evidence?

There is no indication from any of his posts in his official charity thread (this one right here or anywhere else that I could find) that there would be any delay in donation payments. I want evidence of any and all donation payments, if any were made, so someone can verify it with the hospital. Assuming we are short of what was raised, I would like Nick to send the rest that is missing (lol, if it is possible) and provide evidence that someone can use to verify it with the hospital. Further, if these donation payments were not made and Nick doesn't, I think we should start a donation thread for the Children's Hospital & Research Center in Oakland to bail out Nick (and we should do it regardless of what he does). Besides, I don't think he can afford it...

Also, there were people in this thread who said they were not going to accept Nick's money to play in the tournament but were going to send him money out of their own pockets for the charity (or at least offered) and people who funded extra spots and people who donated up to 100% of their winnings...

I am trying to get this covered on Mad Poker so you can leave messages in the Mad Poker episode comments and in PokerStatic's forums...

http://www.pokerstatic.com/mad-poker

http://www.pokerstatic.com/forums/forum7.html

And, for those who say Nick can't defend himself because he got banned from 2+2, of course he can, Nick can easily defend himself on Mad Poker, his Twitter account, his blog, etc...

http://rainmanpoker.net/blog/

Anyways, 2+2 is where he posted for people to play so this is the proper place to air the concerns.

Finally, if no money went to the Children's Hospital & Research Center yet and considering the accusations against Nick of monies owed (etc., etc.), did Nick ever intend for the money to go there or was it just a big fundraising scheme for himself? Just a question. Also, if anyone sent in donations to Nick out of your own pocket, please post to let everyone know. And to anyone with an opinion on this (including in defense of Nick), please post on this subject because where we sit right now in terms of what is going on with this is ridiculous. Basically, we need answers and that is what I am looking for. Thanks.
