We're going to find this out because they're going to face federal chargers over this, I'm sure. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 09:54 4
- For such a smart guy (Ferguson), this was brazenly stupid in every manner. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 09:55 1
  - That makes it even more stunning. Dude's god a PhD in comp sci, iirc. - musubi Sep 20, 09:59
- Is this leading to a massive class action suit where players get their money back? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 09:55 1
  - Well, some portion of it, years down the road. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 09:56
It's not like their juice (5-10%) was any different than other sites. That's just... strange. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 09:49
it's never enough. look at sports stars who switch cities for cash. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 09:44 10
- That's really a different animal though. The basic math of gambling should be able to self propogate. - musubi Sep 20, 09:46 3
  - true, yeah. sorry I'm really stupid. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 09:48 2
    - That's ok, because you have your gorgeous red hair. - musubi Sep 20, 09:51 1
      - *weeping* - amanda jones Sep 20, 09:54
- There's a diff between greed and a ponzi scheme though. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 09:46 5
  - You can buy a middling NBA team for that. Where did that money go? -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 09:52 4
    - Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of that went to all the poker pro endorsements they had. - musubi Sep 20, 09:55 2
      - I meant Lederer and Ferguson. Could they have lost $100+ million in real estate? -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:00 1
        
        If they bought tons of Vegas real estate, yeah, I could see it. (nm) - musubi Sep 20, 10:01
    - Knowing how Ivey plays those guys, probably him at the 4k/8k no-limit table. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 09:54
