Let's not forget that they did an internal investigation into these allegations earlier and cleared themselves. That in itself is corporate fraud IMO.

I mean this in the nicest way, your opinion is wrong.
[ QUOTE ]
It's obvious that their internal investigations have no relevance, and these are the same people that pass judgment on player wrongdoings when instances occur?

This is obv what is most worrying.

ike,
Just stop responding to posts that piss you off. Even if you're often right, you're coming off poorly, and you're clogging an important thread.

The question we should be asking is - who is Scott Tom?



My clients are shareholders of Absolute Poker. Scott Tom is still very much involved in Absolute Poker.



Everyone knows Poker is not legal in the United States. Scott Tom and his American cronies manipulated the corporate structure - playing the age-old shell game - to minimize their exposure to Absolute Poker.



Scott Tom controls everything from behind the scenes. So don't believe the [censored] "Absolute Poker Management" throws at you - because the Management is Scott Tom.



Scott Tom receives hefty income from Absolute Poker. Looking at his high-flying lifestyle - beautiful house in Costa Rica, luxury cars, frequent private jet travel around the World, and bodyguards - we estimate his income to be in the range of millions per year.



Is Scott Tom stupid enough to cheat the players that have made him wealthy and on top - get caught cheating?



Yes. Scott Tom and his cronies are indeed foolish. Suicidal foolish...



Absolute Poker Management states "Absolute Poker highly values and intends to protect its players, shareholders, business partners, and affiliates."



Let's discuss exactly how Scott Tom and his cronies have treated shareholders. These are the people that risked their hard-earned savings to give Absolute Poker its start many years ago.



Scott Tom and his cronies have totally blown off shareholders. While they are busy flying around the World spending thousands and thousands on luxury - shareholders have seen little more than a trickle.



Today, Shareholders are totally ignored by Scott Tom and his Absolute Poker Management. Calls and emails are ignored. Shareholders have no access to Scott Tom. Behind a curtain setup by lawyers, Absolute Poker was sold to yet another shell company belonging to Scott Tom. This minimized any return shareholders can get.



Despite this, shareholders are owed USD 250,000,000. Besides his father and other relatives being paid off secretly, the common shareholder after many delays and excuses can assume only that their money will never be paid back.



Scott Tom and his cronies live in Costa Rica. A country where killing can be bought for a few thousand dollars.



Ask yourself - if you stole $250,000,000 from investors and flaunt your wealth while letting them starve - would you expect to live a long and prosperous life?



Scott Tom and his cronies think so. They think an "independent poker commission" is going to clear them and the players will come rushing back to Absolute Poker. They think legal structures and lawyers will protect them from investors who have waited for many years to get their money back.



The worse problem Scott Tom now faces is Absolute Poker might fall apart because he cheated players. And he cannot pay back investors after giving himself, his cronies, and his family years of luxurious living using money that should have been paid to investors.



Scott Tom and his cronies have no future.



There is only one way out. Become honest. Pay back the players that they cheated. Pay back the investors they cheated. And do this quickly.



Time has run out for Scott Tom, his cronies, and Absolute Poker.

"Everyone knows Poker is not legal in the United States."

I believe most people here will disagree with that one.

Depositing money is in a grey area of legality, but playing poker is most certainly legal.

I think Ike's saying what a LOT of other's are thinking, and in a clear and straightforward manner.
