Does Pokerstars have the right to take money out of my account?

[gordongecko]

yeah some idiot left his keys in his running car at the gas station, thats like a free car for me right? I mean founders keepers would hold up in a court of law im sure, so [censored] grand theft auto.

the tourney was some kind of a ps promo 10kfpp buy-in winner took $20k and 2-9 just $160 ...while having a chat i mentioned that it was a bit extreme for the winner to be taking 20k while the others just less than $200 and as he kicked me out i believed it was his goodwill to offer 1k compensation or something....anyway thats not the point...the poin is that while the money was in my account (money i made plans for) were taken back without my consent. thats the main issue here...i want to know why would ps have the right to take my money without my permission...and somebody mentioned if there is a bank tranfer mistake the bank can rectify that problem..thats not correct because if you are digitally transfering money from you bank account to someone else responsibility is on you to enter the correct details and the bank gives you no guarantees that if you make a mistake you can have your money back

well dude,
as i learned since i was a kid, "founder keeper", and that is a general notion. What do you mean they can do anything they want with my funds? how can i trust them if they can dig their hands in my pocket whenever they want to? whether it was a fluke or not people get lucky and you can not take that away from them

Actually, if you find someone else's property and you want to keep it, there is a prescribed list of things you need to do for it to be yours legally. And even if there weren't, common decency would dictate that you don't just keep something of value that you have gotten by mistake.

"Finders keepers, losers weepers" is only the rule among toddlers.

You are wrong on so many levels.

Yeah, but it wasn't. This is really clear cut, you are wrong and nobody that isn't in to paint chips is going to agree with you.

Please come back when they actually take your money.

It's actually "Finders keepers, losers weepers", and it has been proved beyond all doubt that 'when it comes to lost "movable" property - like cash or pottery or a jar of coffee beans - the law isn't really "finders keepers, losers weepers." It's more like "finders may become keepers but losers still have the best claim, unless they've abandoned the item."'

It wasn't your money, plain and simple. You are complaining not that stars took YOUR money, you are complaining they took back someone elses money and gave it back to the rightful owner. I think stars should find a way to fix your account so that when you win pots it randomly gives them to someone else, now that would be entertainment!

how the [censored] did you "have plans" for money you had less than 5 minutes. It isnt like they waited a week to take it from you, even then they would be right, but [censored].

Maybe you can get one of your high priced corporate lawyers to explain the general notion of founder keeper to you, gordo.
