Pokerstars' crack security team at work!

someone do a summary of this thread

The original poster had his PokerStars account suspended for a day while they analyzed a mysterious unauthorized $0.01 transfer to his account from a player who apparently was a stranger.

Despite his being a well-known and very successful high stakes cash player (and WSOP bracelet winner), he was nevertheless forced to undergo a grueling day-long security audit, just as if he were nothing more than some ordinary low-stakes player of no particular industry-wide importance whatsoever.

The victim emerged 100% blameless, and he is now free to continue to use his account. But a full day of potential earnings at PokerStars was irretrievably lost due to this unfortunate incident.

And now, where does he go to recover his good name? And who can place a value on that most precious of commodities - a single healthy and productive day of one's life on this earth?

I find this hard to believe coming from pokerstars. I have had some experience with my account getting locked by few different sites, and unlike Full Tilt or some others, Pokerstars doesn't actually block the account most of the time, they just block your transfer and cashout options, you can still play.

thx for your insight, were taking the posters word for this as we believe he has no reason to attack pokerstars cedibility. I feel for the poster as i dont think his account should have been lockd over 1c, however good for the 1 day response from PS unlike FT taking 2-4 weeks.

ship it. everyone wins... more or less in my book.

oh yea great summary, i give it a 98/100, you forgot to talk about how everyone mockd him for stating he had a bracelet.

Thank you for the kind words. My fault on any inadvertent omissions (such as his being mocked by some of the folks here).

Also, consider that this all happened at the advent of the WSOP - which must be one of the most stressful times of year for a pro. The extra burden must have seemed unbearable.

I'm glad it all turned out OK.

As OJ would say: "Man, that's one ugly-ass bracelet."
