Default Re: Venetian CEO Poker Tournament Main Event Furor

[ QUOTE ]
The fact that they publicly advertised their buy-ins at false price levels puts them on the hook for that at the least. You could not adverstise it as a 2500+100 tourney, even if you had information clearly at the event stating the real vig. It is called a bait and switch, and is a specific scam that is legislated against . I expect that legally all the participants will be entitled to their full buy-ins returned, and I am not sure how the law will treat the shorting of the prize pool, but I would expect restitution would be required there as well. As such, the operators of this company would be irresponsible to not consider immediate restitution of all injured parties.

That is what it seems like,

now if anyone can get monies refunded is the whole other story IMO!
