I'm not a lawyer or business dude but this sounds to me like they are running a Ponzi scheme; i.e. we need to generate new revenue from new customers to pay back our old customers? | |

I'm telling myself that they just had more money (in terms of a % of player balance) in 3rd party spots than PS - which seems like it has to be true based on all the delays they had pre BF - and they know as soon as they give us ours they lose a great bargaining chip with DohJ + a lot less angry poker players will be calling the gov't. | |

my understanding of a Ponzi scheme is there is no product (or at least it isn't a legit product), you just sell made up shares to give people at the top money and slowly add people to the top. There is a terrific product here and I don't see a reason right now to think they can't make the money back if that's really what needs to happen. | |

So I've been on a vacation for a while and just tried logging onto to UB... no connection... now I'm catching up on the stories about how they fired everyone, got raided, and yet still plan to repay U.S. players... WTF?! Anyway I knew my free ride couldn't last forever. What am I going to do for entertainment at night now? pr0n ain't enough! | |

Lolz, I got a letter back from my congress rep regarding the PPA thing I sent a while ago. Cmon FTP you're letting even the shitty US government respond faster than you. | |

I'm sure it's basically a form letter that says nothing - FTP is good at form letters that say nothing! | |

yeah, I wish we knew exactly what changed - could the RB folks not x-fer to us until today? Or were they waiting on some good word from FT? | |

confirmed the RB. Supposedly medals are next and the store is supposed to re-open within the next week or so. There were still 67,000 people playing at noon today which I found pretty shocking considering those numbers are relatively close to pre-Black Friday #s. | |

fuuck, i can still log into UB, but now there are only play money tables. all real money tables are blank. somehow it says there are still 6,000 players... just playing for fun money?? or maybe the real money tables are open for non-u.s. players and i simply can't see them? | |

today was the first time that i have ever had a withdrawal request from FTP not approved within 5 minutes. Make of that what you will, it makes me a little nervous... I'm sure it's just a glitch, I will post when the approval has been approved. |

kinda figures. Ftp is really raping u.s. players then because they know if transfers were available the money would get xfered out of u.s. and u.s. players could get their money. I'm assuming they dont want those funds to be cashed out right now due to liquidity issues . . . |
