Here It Is (Basic Explanation)

[Vigorish]

I just met up with Sarah, and we sort of rectified the situation. Anyway, here's the basics of the situation.

Totals Donated:
Roughly $5200 on Stars
Roughtly $1500 on FTP

A couple days after the stuff started slowing down, a friend asked to swap $2K on FTP for Stars. No big deal, w/e. Anyway, that leaves the balances at ~$3200 on Stars, and ~$3500 on FTP. As many of you know, the FTP account was locked towards the end of the "donation bang". They have recently unlocked my personal account, but the donation account remains locked. I am still working on getting them to consolidate everything into one account. So that is $3500 Sarah and I are still working to get offline. I will say that FTP hasn't done anything but ask for confirmation that the account owner is a real person, etc. They are just pretty slow about responses, as many of you know.

Now, there was $3200 remaining on Stars. About $1600 has been cashed out via ePassporte. It took some time, because I had to get a new card, and initially the account was f'ed up because I had this 2nd ePassporte account in my name, which was created to cash out from the donation Stars account. Stars won't allow cashouts to the same ePassporte account from 2 different Stars accounts. So, that leaves $1600 or so still to be cashed out. It is now in my new ePassporte account, and will be cashed out. As for the FTP funds, I'm sure it will be worked out in time. I know, I know, should've requested a check from Stars. Lesson learned, and it is basically a non-issue now that ePassporte is squared away.

So, this was basically just a relationship quarrel gone crazy. It seems to have been resolved at this point, which is good. Anyway, for the record, no one has been scammed, and the money will be put to good use, once it is all out and everything.

Sorry to disappoint those who were looking to tons of shady [censored] going on with this. It's just not there. I would assume Sarah will be on soon enough to confirm, if need be.
