BETonSPORTS' director Lord Glentoran announces refunds to owed players
BETonSPORTS' director Lord Glentoran announces refunds to owed playersLondon, 1 April 2007 - The peer of the House of Lords Lord Glentoran, non-executive director of beleaguered BETonSPORTS, issued a statement this morning announcing the imminent refund to all owed players.
"Our company [BETonSPORTS] and its Board of Directors have been targeted with irritating speculations in the past few months." The statement begins. "None of us, as far as we are concerned, have done anything wrong. We have not infringed any laws known about outside the US or any laws that have actually been tested in the US."
"Our company used to get over 70 per cent of its betting revenue from the US, although it is illegal to use telephone wires to bet.” Lord Glentoran said. “However we cannot be held liable if those degenerate Yanks kept calling to place their bets on American Football and Baseball; All our clerks did was to politely answer the phone and eventually listen to their quest for action."
"We also relied on the fact that the Americans have been trying for a long time to enforce their regulations and they have totally and absolutely failed." The Knight of the Kingdom added.
The mighty Lord had words of fire for the DoJ's actions. "The Americans have been advertising for the last 150 years that they are the land of the free. They are actually the land of the shackles. There is no freedom in the US." He said. "This cigar smoker Catherine Hanaway, compared to whom Torquemada was an amateur, has totally and absolutely failed to understand that Yanks want to bet online."
Lord Glentoran also had negative words for those payment processors and advertisement venues who refused to return funds to BETonSPORTS. "Those bloody advertisers and payment processors! I would have dealt with them the same way I dealt with those damn Spaniards few years ago."
71-years-old Lord Glentoran and his wife were to appear in court in southern Spain in September 2005 to face possible charges of aggression against three guards at the Gibraltar border. Spanish official sources allege that both Lord Glentoran and his wife appeared to have been drinking and were abusive after being asked to register two bottles of whiskey and two cartons of cigarettes on customs forms.
Three Spanish Civil Guards received bruises and sprains and needed hospital treatment after an argument allegedly broke out.
"I am glad to announce that further to our negotiations with the Americans and after having provided them with the Dominican pick-up location of that bloody Yank bookie that got us into this mess we are now prepared to refund all our valued customers." The note continued.
"Current and former directors contributed to raise funds to repay our customers: David Carruthers successfully auctioned on E-Bay the jumpsuit he first wore after being arrested; Clive Archer mortgaged the Range Rover he shipped from Costa Rica to the U.K. after the bloody Yanks shut us down; I myself have made many more trips to Gibraltar to buy duty-free cigarettes and whiskey, donating the company all proceeds of my tax duty savings."
"The refund process will begin today, 1 April 2007, under the supervision and control of the Antigua Director of Offshore Gaming, Lady Kaye McDonald." Lord Glentoran said in his note to the media. "Our customers will have to contact Lady McDonald providing her their account information, their social security number, their credit card number, their bank account number and their pet’s name."
"Lady McDonald will randomly decide which percentage of each claim shall be retained by the FSRC in exchange of their valuable service." The note concluded. “Retained percentages will be utilized to fight the bloody Yanks at the WTO and to pay for her future Spa treatments in Europe."
