*********To All CEO Poker Tour Participants******

[Cornell Fiji]

Stephen,

It stings me when you sling insults at Greg. While I know he is a big boy and he can defend himself (just ask the guys who attacked him about that) he came here on his own volition to address the CEO poker problem.

He personally made sure that there were discussions about the CEO scandal with the higher ups at the PPA and his discussions helped prompt Maria to make her statement (which obviously turned out to be highly insufficient.)

After the statement he came here to say that he would no longer associate with the CEO Poker Tour but he did not state what his future actions would be.

Greg is a former lawyer. He is too smart to come on here and make promises on behalf of the PPA. He is not going to make a promise without discussing it through proper channels. I am sure that the reason that he has not responded to you with the exact plan that the PPA will be taking is because he is advocating your position to the higher ups at the PPA and they have not yet reached a decision. There is bureaucracy that slows down actions of organizations like the PPA, you should be thankful that you have someone like Greg to advance your claim through their organizational red tape.

I am confident that in the end the PPA will support you in your fight and if they do support you it will be a credit to the help that Greg Raymer provided during private PPA conversations.

Right now he is surely advocating your position, please be patient before you start to challenge his good name.

(Note: If it turns out that the PPA does not support your fight then slam Greg all you want but he has done enough for the community and has been a staunch advocate of players rights so we should give him the benefit of the doubt that he is helping despite his silence)
