[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Incidentally, did anyone check this one, just for completeness: Jeff Gordon President/CEO Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation “Embrace the Life of a Child” [/ QUOTE ] Sorry to bump my own post, but could this be checked? [/ QUOTE ] They seem legit. They've been around since 1994. charityinfo link [/ QUOTE ] I think he wanted to know if someone from CEOpoker, was posting as the CEO (Jeffery Gordon) of the charity. [/ QUOTE ] I'm 99.99% sure this account is legit. It's not Maria, it's from NV, and the e-mail address is from the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. |

Re: PPA should disassociate itself from scandal ridden CEO Poker tour
My friends,
Maria has hired my firm to compensate the hundreds of players who were inadvertently overcharged in the recent poker tournament at the Venetian. In the interests of expediency, I would ask all affected players to PM me with your banking information so that we may direct deposit $100 into each of your accounts. Alternatively, we can send you a cashier's cheque in the amount of $1000 US dollars. Nigerian banking regulations prevents us from sending cashier's cheques in smaller amounts. We ask that each player cash their cheque, and then mail us the difference at their earliest opportunity. For players who choose this method of reimbursement, you may keep an additional $25 US DOLLARS as compensation. Maria, pokerdoc101, thepokerace1 and I sincerely hope that this will be a first step in closing the rift that has developed between the poker community and the CEO Poker tour. Let the healing begin, my friends. Idi |

A cameo by the Nigerian just made this my all-time favorite thread on this messageboard.

Re: PPA should disassociate itself from scandal ridden CEO Poker tour
Does PPA have a casino where CEO Poker can hold an event? How about the casinos that have hosted and profited from the events? What do they say? Will they refuse to host future events? |

Re: PPA should disassociate itself from scandal ridden CEO Poker tour
The Nigerian cameo that pops up on this site from time to time is probably my favorite troll on any message board ever.
Well done. |

So if this is a scam, the charity money isn't a part of the scam. [/ QUOTE ] Conning marks into paying for your company's tax credit is the best (read ingenious) part of the scam. |

Re: PPA should disassociate itself from scandal ridden CEO Poker tour
I just sent the following email the the PPA General email account:
To Whom It May Concern: As a member of the PPA (albeit, a free membership) I am troubled by the recent reports of deception & possibly fraud by the CEO Poker Tour. Information has come to light that shows the “tour” has been deceptive in the payouts by withholding a portion of the prize pool. Chris Raymer stated in the 2ND thread posted below that he is going to bring the matter up to the rest of the PPA Board Members. I feel that the PPA needs to take action and have a visible role in determining what has transpired. Please let me know that the organization that I am a member of, will take a lead role in investigating the accusations that have been leveled against the CEO Poker Tour. I thank you for your time, and look forward to your response in the serious matter. R. Dale Leonard Virginia Beach, Virginia Please refer to the following forum threads on 2+2 web site for further clarification: *********To All CEO Poker Tour Participants****** http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...;gonew=1#UNREAD PPA should disassociate itself from scandal ridden CEO Poker tour http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...=0#Post11243840 |
