Default FTP locks my account for excess transfers, refuse to answer emails.

limitninja falsely accuses me of scamming FTP in various threads in this forum, so I am going to defend myself publicly and tell the real story.

The only thing I am guilty of is transferring money to a lot of people and staking players. Every single one of them (some 2+2'ers) have responded to their emails and submitted the documents they requested (usually ID and a utility bill), but they refuse to unlock my account, my friends' accounts, and some 2+2'ers that I know (limitninja is one, there are others that I won't name).

A few months ago, I asked a supervisor at FTP who I know personally if there would be a problem in buying into FTP and transferring funds to various people I know to stake them for poker. Many of them are 2+2'ers who I will not name in order to protect their privacy. The aforementioned supervisor said it would be fine as long as there was enough play on their accounts and there was no fraud going on (credit card chargebacks, chip dumping, etc). I assured him we would keep it totally clean.

A few months later, my account is locked along with many others on this forum and others I have staked. They locked any account that I transferred to with only a few exceptions, claiming that they wanted to investigate the large number of peer-to-peer transfers I had done (many of them for Stars money in the person-to-person transafer thread). I gladly told them all the information they wanted, submitted my ID and a utility bill, and had the people I was staking do the same. 2+2'ers came to me and asked me what the deal was; I told them to comply with FTP and not make a public scene of it.

This was about a month ago. FTP now refuses to answer my emails (I send them in probably every other day with no answer - not even an automated response) and continues to lock up over $10,000 of my money. Fortunately this isn't a huge blow to me, but it's annoying nonetheless.

I apologize to all who are affected, but I've done nothing wrong and I've done everything FTP asks for. I email them every other day or so and they refuse to respond to emails.

I was hoping not to criticize FTP publicly, but I had no choice.

People who have successfully done transfers with me are asked to post in this thread to show FTP that they are mistaken and give me a good history. Despite limitninja's absolutely baseless claims that I am "scamming" FTP, even he can attest to the fact that I made flawless trades with him.

Mods, I request that you censor limitninja's baseless accusations and get to the facts. Thank you.


EDIT: limitninja apologized in his thread. Ignore the last statement.
