Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6395181, member: 407846"] Well, here is where things get hazy and I feel deliberately so. GG Poker and Bryn Kenney parted ways quite obviously, when all signs of Kenney and his ambassadorship were removed from GG's site. Though in the recent interview after the allegations were levelled against him Kenny denied it had happened - he said he walked away. That has been refuted. The problem being that people could track Kenney and his stables activities when GG had given him free rein. He appears to have taken his 'friend' Lauren Roberts alone for over $2 million during the games he personally organized on GG. But as there was no public announcement of Kenney getting thrown off GG, there was of course no mention of funds being confiscated, debts being re-imbursed (which were said to amount to many millions) etc. etc. Regarding Imsirovic and Schindler, that is the later, second round of allegations. GG Poker did admit that they had banned forty players and suspended another forty without giving names, but again, several were easy to track as their sessions ended abruptly. However, GG then stated they had confiscated just over a million dollars and re-distributed it to hundreds of players. At first glance that sounded good, but then it rapidly sounded like PR spin because players subsequently came forward (Kirsten Bicknell, Alex Foxen, Bill Perkins etc.) to say they had lost over a million each in what they thought in hindsight, were suspicious rigged games. Unfortunately, I think it is something that most are just going to have to deal with and accept it goes on (yup, I know how pathetic this sounds). Some sites and events are going to take a stand (Pokerstars/EPT and Triton did) but others will remain unwilling. Then on top everything you now have an (unholy) alliance between GG Poker, Poker Go and the WSOP to control a huge amount of poker tournaments and the subsequent media content generated. To date, the ownership of GG Poker remains opaque. Personally, I find this odd to the point of unnerving (maybe that's just me) but when you stand back and look at the influence that GG Poker, PokerGO and the WSOP combined now exert over much of the poker world, I can't help but speculate, scratch beneath that surface and I am not sure that everyone would be left deflated.
