You englighten us with what sillysal has NOT done.

Thank you for making my point. This is exactly the ass-backwards system that's in place. Seize now, look for evidence later; you better prove yourself innocent. But really, FTP is only behaving this way because people like you are too moronic to realize how grossly incongruent this practice is with pretty much all of western civilization's banking practices. People can't "freeze" YOUR accounts because they suspect you of anything. That the very definition of YOURS. If people can choose to take things from you at their leisure, and deprive you of the money, when they want, it is THEIRS.

Of course, if you are playing for nickels (as I suspect most people who aren't alarmed by these repeated issues must be) then it doesn't matter. 50K matters.

No, thank you for making MY point. If you are goign to compare a banking practices to an online poker site, then you are the moron.

Online institutions such as poker sites reserve the rights to hold your money if they feel you are conducting fraudulent activities. When you opened an account there and deposited money, you signed that dotted line.

They don't have a choice but to "freeze" accounts. Are you saying that since western civilizations banking practices don't allow people to freeze your accounts, then a poker site shouldn't be allowed to freeze a suspected player's money? So that they can run and chip dump and distribute the funds in question to the rest of the online poker world?

Right. And you are willing to be a second class citizen, subject to the whims of FTP. I am not. If this is their business model (and numerous threads confirm that it is) count me and my money out. No other industry claims to need this god like control over my funds. Somehow, every other industry (and several other sites within this industry, I might add) has found a way to combat fraud without month long repeated "freezes" without even so much as a phone call.

And LOL and your saying that she MUST have done something wrong and then immediately retracting it after making the rhetorical point you needed at the moment. Now you readily admit she may be completely innocent.

No.

Name one other poker site that would NOT freeze a player's account while investigating them. Im sure the people at FTP will not sleep at night knowing that you "refuse to be a 2nd class citizen!", and play at their site.

Also, never did i readily admit she may be innocent, just like i never admitted she was guilty. i was only clearing up the fact that i meant to say she must have done something to trigger the investigation, and that FTP does not just investigate a player out of thin air.
