    maaaaaaaaaaate
    i'm not a greedy person, so maybe i'm just wired differently to some other people. but seriously, why do people who are already millionaires and professional poker players, also holding top spots in a very very profitable business venture (namely, gambling - guaranteed profits), need to steal money from the poker community which made them in the first place. seriously, as if FTP in its hayday wasn't making enough in rake on a daily basis to pay all the employees and head honchos a decent and proportionate sum, and keep the players' money, from which they are bleeding their all their profits anyway, in separate accounts. this just blows my mind. i mean, they get it all in the end anyway. the only sure direction which money will flow in poker is down the hole. all they do is sit there while the player pool's money gradually goes from players' accounts to theirs. so i don't get it. but then again, i know fuck all about the operations of businesses and investment and all of that stuff.

    as far as i know there was 1 extremely bad decision made (the right decision would've been to stop processing to us players while still allowing them to play on the site), and a slew of terrible decisions made trying to avoid owning up to the 1st bad decision. What should've been an annoying problem after a few weeks, turned into a ****ty problem, then a really ****ty problem, and then a gaping hole capable of killing the company.

    Great link. No way are Ferguson, Lederer et al so stupid that they didn't know how company was structured or what they were getting themselves in to. Greedy cunts in the same bracket as the likes of Murdoch thinking they can do what the fuck they like.

    Someone might want to start a thread for the White House Petition.

    5000 signatures guarantees a response from the White House.

    I can't post any links, but it is in NVG on 2+2 and PC on P5s for the link.
