Nope, not in the least.

Someone funded Frist's maniacal rampage - and it sure wasn't anybody on this board.

888.com just might be next in about a year, because there following the same pattern as PartyPoker it seems like.

I have to wonder though if this just might be part of the grand design of what things might become down the road now that this new bullshit law that the U.S. implemented 362 days ago.

Online poker volume is way down, you will see only about 7 houses left in like 4 years.

Much of the online boom was college kids, and underage kids who couldn't get into the casino. I think they've gotten over the phase, just like when you see white kids start dressing like they're white you know they've gotten over rap. Plus it's football season so the other gamblers are occupied.

They did what they could to run their business into the ground. Now it's time to sell. What a joke.

I actually wouldn't go as far as saying that sir.

They focused way too much on the U.S. market in regards to there profit margin, and didn't really market there product the correct way like a lot of the other companies appear to have done.

One thing I will say for them is they were way out in front on the US law affecting them. Long before Pinnacle and then Neteller pulled out, they did. Wasn't it a month after the bill was passed? maybe less?

Their business might be worth pennies of what it was before, but the ownership and management isn't in prison.
