Betislands answer....

[chase hardy]

So have been reading all these comments and guess im lucky that I have not been playing there of late.
Long story short me and ryan are pretty good friends. I went to costa rica and hung out with him for a few days. Jon I really couldnt get a good feel for. I will make my best attempt to talk to ryan tomorrow and post the phone conversation here. I really dont think he will steer me wrong. I really think in the end all players will get paid. I know jon has the money but I think a few players have put him in a tight spot from what I understand. Jon is a little worried because he has not came in t. Comment. Good luck with you alls payouts. I should have an answer tomorrow.

According to SBR Jon is no longer with betislands and he isn't and never was the financial backing of the operation.

Jon does have a financial stake in bi. He may no longer be with them but I dont really beleive it. Will find out tomorrow.

I dont know if you saw the post from Bill Dozer of SBR..he stated that Jon is no longer with BI and that he isn't and never was the financial backer there..it makes sense that Jon is gone..why would he just up and disappear all of last week?

You should relax guys SBR rates them a C book still! They just had a little light packing to do but they'll be back in no time flat. Livechat swears it after all!

Jon is a good paying customer of sbr. They are protecting him maybe.

Jon is fukcking gone..if they wanted to protect him they could use another story other than saying he is finished there.

When you say "Jon has the money", what do you mean by that? I hope you mean he is a multi-millionaire.

Thanks for posting what you know BTW. Even if it's not much, we are all in the dark now.

Everyone in the industry knows jon is a sales guy with somewhat good intentions and he usually tries to do business with people that pay , he is a young kid who likes the forum and just like a good GM and sales person he believed in betislands and he quit betislands for several reasons that i dont know. You can ask any top gun in the industry This is real verifiable info the original betislands backers caught heat 6 weeks ago and jon did what he could for players sbr is gonna do what they can to help but its not really their fault either.
Point is "jon" was nothing but a forum cs rep that kept people happy him not being there doesnt change a thing financially
Good luck to everyone and i will post more info if there is anymore chatter

Thanks for posting.

The "original betislands backers"... some are saying they are no longer backing BI. Is that true?

Also, what do you mean that they "caught heat"?

[Dbrit]

He was the pr guy ask sbr if youd like and the reason i know is because its a rather small town and jon has been very vocal about how he wanted to leave. Trust sbr to find a solution all this happened and from the makings of it they were kept in the dark as well

[edawg]

Jon always tried to do business with people who pay that is why if he is really gone that is not good.

I believe you that he was the pr guy.

Did Jon leave because he was frustrated with the backers not kicking in more money?

[CollegePro]

you know what??? it seems like some of you claim to personally know Ryan and Jon and blah blah blah. I believe you that you guys know them in person... but that's not going to change anything the fact that they scammed us...
