    That's a big NO.

    Stanford was a multi-billion dollar whale, WSEX's offices are a second floor in a strip mall. If they even did invest in Stanford funds, they would have been kept in the dark as long as everyone else in the world.

    Unless WSEX was so smart - they knew Allen Stanford's every move!

    Hey, those three guys were Wall Streeters, right?

    Really doesn't matter to someone who's owed money anyway.

    This time of year I just miss WSEX's live golf... haven't found one as fun to play as theirs. (They might still offer it for all I know but no way in hell would I deposit)

    I put in a $100 into WSEX less than a month ago and ran it up to 47,000, then i started reading about this slow pay/no pay and I think i got steamed b/c my account is down to 10,000. My point is people make and lose fortunes all the time in this business. And somebody with the brains of Jay Cohen should be able to come up with the 300 some odd thousand. Lets be patient with this guy, hell maybe we should all band together and form a sports betting team, each with specific areas of expertise. I know it sounds far fetched wishful thinking, but instead of complaining, lets band together, even with Jay, we should be able to pool our resources and get our cash back, jay out of debt, and WSEX up and running again.

    ok, yes that was a ridiculous post by me. but the 100-47,000 is true. I can screen shot the account statement. It might not matter anyway, might not even get any of it. but yeah I am down to 10,000. Hopefully Bulls, Pacers, Boilermakers, Tar Heels, ML parlay hits. 3500 to win 7500

    So I lied about the alien abduction, but you must believe me when I tell you that Tupak Shakur wants to produce my rap album.
