[ QUOTE ] Firstly, thank you for crediting my AP account with $7497. With that said, none of us have heard anything more about the alleged 2006 WSOP popcorn story and none of that money making it to charity. If someone from Absolute can come in here and tell me which charity received your popcorn dollars and after contacting them I am satisfied that it is in fact a real charity and they did receive your money from selling $1 bags of popcorn, I am willing to donate every cent you just gave me, to that charity. Anxiously awaiting further details on this. [/ QUOTE ] While they are at it, they can also donate the cost of the bogus "truck lease for a year" drawing at the same 2006 WSOP, where the AP employee rigged it for her friend to win. They split the monetary value. This is well-known within the company. At some point if AP doesn't clear all this popcorn and lease stuff up, I will just come out and name the employee. I'd rather not, but I'm so disgusted by the charity thing that they deserve it. Tuco. [/ QUOTE ] Ok...this is the 1st "AP" thread I have read, cause most people update me on it. But whats this lease ordeal?? This happened too?? Just wow if so. Give a little more detail if you can since I missed this!! Thanks!! xoxoxo

Re: Since you all read this at Absolute Poker
I'd have to run this by my editors, but it'd be a lot of fun to track the progress on this at the end of my column each week at espn.com. Of course, that won't be neccessary if a) We find out they did donate the noney, or b) AP pleged to match all monies pledged in this thread. (we'll need a receipt on this one)

Re: Since you all read this at Absolute Poker
so they did actually donate it? for the record that doesnt remove their scumbag status. personally deliverd the check? coke pickup?
Idi, approx. how long did it take to get the check? how long after the popcorn shack completed its last sale i mean? Keep up the great work Idi, i wish i was doing something with my life that helps others. Minnesotans rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So do Nigerians I think everyone who can afford it should donate some money to Idi. lets say if you make over 100,000 a year you should give at least 1%. also, i heard that they were charging 25 cents for 1 sprinkle of cheese powder and that the proceeds were supposed to go to the same charity, that money disappeared . it is rumored that Scott Tom and AJ Green stole the $13.75 for gum and razor blades.

[/ QUOTE ] im pretty sure that you just dont pay money on the income equal to whatever you donated. So you arent really saving money (unless maybe it was an amount that lowered you a bracket or something). So basically if you are getting 30% taxed, you are really only giving up 70% of the actual donation.
