Message: [QUOTE="k9sjose, post: 1977220, member: 92147"] [b]If you knew of the scandal...[/b] Thanks XD, but I was a late arrival to the on-line poker world, and I did not know of the 'hacked' poker site - or conspiracy as most would say that AB was originally involved in. So I guess I did not deserve that the DOJ took my money...? Or did I? Your trite statement denies due process. Let's call what AB/AP did a 'robbery', and let's call me the victim. The DOJ shuts them down, and then takes the money to pay for their efforts, or for judgements against the plaintiff. Is that the way it works in the case of a simple robbery, or is it usual that stolen property is returned to the victim? I mean, if someone stole my car, and the police caught them, but in order to pay back for their efforts to catch the thief they sold my car, or kept it and used it so as to recompense their own efforts - is that right? Why do you say it serves people right to lose their money? Or are you just trying to call attention to the fact you think you are so smart? I lost no small amount of money on Absolute Poker, but neither did it cripple me. I suppose since it did not cripple me I might admonish the people who it did cripple, and state they should have seen it coming. Your comment is neither productive, sympathetic, nor does it focus on the fact that on-line poker in the USA should not in fact be illegal. It is a game of skill. But Bingo Parlors, they exist everywhere in the USA. For 'charity'. And they effectually dent so many family incomes it's hard to even speculate at the number. Whether run for a 'church' or a 'cause', the odds are ridiculous, yet they are allowed to exist. Are there people who play it that have a gambling problem? You better frick'n believe it. Some of these parlors are open 7 days a week (check out L.A.) - and they rake in huge amounts of money. So - I am denied my little bit of low stakes holdem because some political hacks think I can't control my own money? No wonder the rest of the world laughs at us. We are becoming the silliest country on this planet. Anyway - this is my first post here. I'll try to be constructive next time. But I don't think it's right that another poker player (?) would take a cheap shot at a poker player (/players) who lost money by simply wanting to play the game that we all love. I sure hope it comes back in the USA, but I am not all that confident. Join the PPA and try to help there. thanks for making me want to join the forum, whomever the di@khead was that wrote the 'serves you right' comment. [/QUOTE]
