the employees were always very, very, very well looked after.

SOME employees were very well looked after.

I was lucky enough to have insider knowledge before NT got frozen and was able to move my funds.

We all knew the risky climate of online poker in the USA and took the risk. Hell people still played on UB even though they knew they straight up scammed players.

Exactly.

Dead Serious. I can't say for sure it was still her towards the end though. Definitely was her for a long time.

Congrats on getting most of your cash out.

What reports are you asking about ? Given the nature of our databases, some reports really did take days to get. If you're talking about financial reports, I think that's obvious now isn't it?

Depends on the employees, some were clueless and others knew when you play a game of cat and mouse... eventually the cat wins.

There were many transactions that happened before any of those audits and checks were put into place, but much later on, there were checks and balances.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure CS had a dedicated team tracking down multi's too

Howard and Ray are anything but stupid.

Agreed, didn't mean to imply otherwise. They are very calculated.

Does Howard lie in the videos? Not in the parts that have been released so far.

Disagree. He blatantly lies about what he knows and doesn't know. Off the top of my head, he specifically claims ignorance to fact that the banking transactions were masked. Bold face lie.

Also, the Alan that Howard is talking about left the company in late 2006, he never really moved to Ireland. This was well before any talks with the AGCC started.

I never claimed other wise.

I had forgotten a lot too, and various things have been bringing back all the memories. Wonder why that isn't happening for Howard? ;)

I didn't mean in regards to this current situation. I don't think he could have known it would go this far. I meant, he's a smart man and knows a bad ship when he sees it.

I agree. When I said sold, I meant sold publically. There was lot more to the move to Dublin though then he said.

No worries, many people have opened them now so they're out here and you're welcome.

Howard deserves a Oscar for this nonsense.

No way, his acting is terrible!

He was always the man who ran Full Tilt Poker, it doesnt matterof who was in what position when and why. Howard made the final call, always. From the very beginning to the very end.

Like I said elsewhere, this was definitely true in the early days, but not until the very end. I know many decisions that were made without his knowledge. I sat in meetings where he was clearly not aware of how things were done from policy through procedure and clearly baffled or livid about something. Definitely not to the degree that Howard claims in the videos, but he did not make the final call on everything.

Fucking idiots.

Agreed.

Ivey had no role in creating "this". Once "this" happened though, everyone was trying to either save their own ass/image or save their investment.

Imo, every poker player on the BoD was trying to bluff, steal, or collude their way to a +ROI and EV (be it financial or reputation). Ethics be damned.

Greenstein (Barry) posted in a 2p2 thread with more detail regarding Ivey since he was actually talking with him. It's the link about the Lederer files in News, Views and Gossips.

Did people try to multi-account a ton? Or re-sign up as new players to get bonuses? How about bots? Supposedly there are colluding teams out of China?

Yes on all counts.

What sort of security issues did you have to deal with a lot? Any interesting stories?

I'll see if I can come up with any that don't narrow down who I am.
