Stars Update #2

[ZBTHorton]

For those of you who didn't read my previous thread, use search and you'll see why I'm posting this.

I received a PM on Saturday telling me that PokerEdge(the company that was banned by like every site) is including Stars on it's list of sites no longer accepting US players. I immediately shot off an e-mail to some people at FTP and Stars to notify them.

I was told that this info was "misinformation".

Accordingly, I get the feeling that a lot of wrong information towards Stars in the past two weeks has been malicious in intent. I also got a e-mail from a friend of mine who is a big affiliate saying that one of the FTP Affiliates had been promoting the fact that Stars was gone in order to try and lure more clients into his rakeback business. I believe he was told to stop from FTP, but could be off base with that. Things like this may be where alot of the wrong info has come from.

All information that I have is telling me that Stars has finished getting a statement from their lawyer in writing regarding the issue at hand, and should be issueing a statement later this week. I think the only remaining issue at hand is discussing their plans with the political figures of the countries that they reside in, which obviously will be a very important meeting.

Just trying to keep you guys up to date. If you have something specific to say, feel free to PM. I'll try to keep up with the thread.
