Have the "fee" payed by us, the poker players instead of AP.

Everyone pool their money together to the amount AP was gonna pay and everything is solved.

Nothing wrong with Absolute paying his expenses and a reasonable fee ($5000 is plenty for a week). It's the "substantial" bit that rubbed me the wrong way - it's not the way to be or appear impartial when people who don't know Nat at all are trusting his word. There's more than the close community here who'll be reading his opinion. This is especially true if he gives them the thumbs up or has nothing shady to report, which is likely considering that he's blocked from actually looking at meaningful information.

If Nat isn't get paid expenses by Absolute, I will happily donate $50 to the cause by Stars or FT transfer. You can hold me to that.

I am not going to be asking for/accepting any money from 2p2'ers for this if it ends up happening.

I appreciate the offer.

BTW, even though I will not be receiving an AP fee, I used substantial in case the amount ever surfaced. It is substantial to the average person with a regular job, but it is also relatively standard considering the nature of the work and, as you can read above, El D agrees with me. I came to the amount mainly on advice from other people, only one of whom was my lawyer.
