It's very possible that Sunrise Children is a shady charity. I haven't really looked into them except a short attempt to look around their awful website. But just because they don't have a good web designer doesn't mean they don't do something good with the money.

Does anyone know ways to get independent evaluations of charities?

I really wonder about some of these shady looking Nevada charities.

Me too. Totally unrelated to the AP thing, I've heard shady things about a large number of Nevada charities. I'd stay away from all of them entirely tbh.

Management asked him how to handle the payoffs, He told them to overpay if they had to, and they agreed.

Who is running the show here?

Nat have you seen Seif's interview? Have you really said to him that you unequivocally believe he didn't cheat?

Watching it now.

EDIT: After watching, he represented what I've told him pretty well. I don't think I ever used the word "unequivocal" but I did tell him that I was not able to prove a single instance of his cheating. Obviously I was told a number of stories about possible cheating on his part, including the one that everyone knows about. None of them really proved anything to me and I've never seen any HHs (even outside of the unavailable ones from Feb 06) of Mark's play/supposed cheating.

At this point, to the best of my knowledge, I don't think Mark cheated.

EDIT #2: LOL @ the picture of me and Mark said my last name wrong. Oh well.

There are Sunrise hospitals in Vegas including Sunrise Children's Hospital.
If this charity is associated with them I would tend to think they are legit.

I have no opinion on which is the actual case.

edit: some things including mailing addresses tend to lean towards the foundation working with the hospital. It's a ghostly website though with not much going on.

BRENT BECKLEY
Director of Payments and Risk Management at Absolute Poker and alumnus from SAE frat in Montana from 1999. President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon's UM chapter. That player is Brent Beckley, another major player at AP. Brent Beckley worked for AP when a poster propped there. He was a part of support and security. Brent Beckley's last known city of residence is Miami, which is the location of one of the cheater accounts. He was a frat brother of Scott Tom in Montana. Brent plays as RUNNINONMT on UB. His email is brent@rivieraltd.com. Steamroller, a cheating account, is known to have played from Miami. Absolute Poker's recent press releases come out of Miami.


He lives Florida. His family lives in Florida. The thefts took place in Florida. I am from Florida.
Somehow I don't think jurisdiction is going to be a problem here.
While most of the cockroaches are running and hiding, some will get squashed.

how exactly did he cheat you, as opposed to the firm ap cheating you? If your Chevy blows up you can't sue their vice president. And if you were cheated out of money, and AP has repaid you - what damages do you have?

[/ QUOTE ]

You are talking civil. I am talking criminal. I dont want a penny from them. I have no intention of suing anyone.

Some insider was clicking the mouse in Florida, and stealing millions from other Americans. Just because they got caught red handed and are attempting to repay their victims ABSOLUTELY does not mean a serious crime was committed. Exactly if and what crimes were committed will be up to the D.A.

Anyone else find it weird that there is a Sunrise Children's Foundation located in Naples Florida ?

AFAIK, there is a fair amount of available information on US charities. I don't have time to research it right now, but I'm pretty confident some people out there will be able to confirm the info re: their donation.
