I apologize to those involved in what was a huge error in judgment on my part. I took a chance in allowing Vig to post his story based on the proof his wife had cancer and it turns out I was wrong to do so.

[/ QUOTE ]

The thing that is truly saddening is that now BBV will no longer be a reliable place for people to come and collect money for their relatives/loved ones in need....

/end facetious observation..

greenstein-style donation efforts are always going to be welcomed

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean mass-movements to donate small amounts of money to well-established charities constitutes a positive idea whereas directing funds towards random participants on anonymous gambling-related internet message boards who are claiming that their significant others have cancer is just retarded and outrageous?

Just an ass. I think it's worth harping on the foolishness of your mistake, since it cost normal, unsuspecting 2+2ers money. I don't really care about forum politics, and I don't have any opinion on you aside from this, but it's not like apologizing gets you off the hook instantly. How much money was "donated" anyway?

[Gildwulf]

a lot, thousands

Ok, I get it...not meaning to be hard on Gild, my original comments were more meant to highlight the overall absurdity of using a forum on an internet message board (one dedicated to the least rational aspects of poker, no less) as a vessel for charitable donations.

I think it's great the thing that y'all did with Barry and the Doncuments, but it's a bad precedent to set when this board gets used as a publicity vehicle for people's individual charity needs, no matter how valid or painful they are. Really, it's much worse that allowing staking requests on this forum (which I believe are prohibited). Anyway, didn't mean to harsh on GW, and I think it's probably a good thing for BBV in the long run that this whole operation went down in flames. F Vigorish.

Actually, all the facts we were told are still assumed to be correct.

The one thing Gildwulf didn't tell us is that the guy wasn't going to pay for cancer treatments for his girlfriend with the money, but was instead going to urinate it across the internet at huge stakes poker games.

Gildwulf has apologised several times for this. He made a judgement call and got it wrong, it happens.

I don't know much about the legal system but I would think the anonamous source would have to come out, would they be willing to do so?

I am sure the anonymous source is someone inside or the cardrooms themselves telling GW this information off the record. The card room doesn't want any1 knowing they are giving out info on players. If somehow it was an insider he doen't want to be exposed. DUCY?
