UB/Absolute er bust
Det er nok mere end marginalt dumt at sætte penge derind pt., men at sige de er bust er også løgn.
UB/AB $ går til ca. 65-75% på 2p2 i øjeblikket.
No not again! Selvom det har lugtet af det i et par uger.
18k til salg på UB.
36k til salg på victory poker
;(
Ser ikke for godt ud, fandt dette på en anden side, det er postet 3.maj 2011
Earlier today the parent company, Blanca Gaming, of the Cereus Network which owns Absolute Poker and UB sent out and email to their shareholders letting them know that they will most likely be filing for bankruptcy. Absolute Poker and UB ran their operations from a four story building in Costa Rica that as of this moment is closed and empty. Everything was removed and 95% of their workforce was let go.
Since Black Friday we have not heard much of anything from either poker site even though they continued to allow US players to play. Still the Network lost 70% of it’s traffic and has become an insignificant poker network. Players still cannot withdraw and many are starting to think they never will unless the U.S. DoJ releases the frozen funds. Currently non US players are allowed to withdraw a maximum of $250 every two weeks.
Things do not look good and as a result we’ve removed Absolute Poker and UB from Holdem Poker Chat. They had a great chance to do the right thing and make up for their past mistakes but as of right now it’s not looking like they will.
Below is a copy of the email that was sent to shareholders:
Dear Madeira Fjord, AS Shareholder,
Since the last meeting of shareholders, there have been a number of developments that affect our Company.
Most importantly, Blanca Gaming has provided notice to our subsidiary Avoine that it is currently unable to make any payments toward its debt obligations. Additionally, Blanca has further advised that there will be no future payments.
Over the past 60 days, the Company has accumulated current debts in excess of $250,000 which are increasing at $100,000+ per month. These obligations are primarily legal and professional fees in Norway.
With no cash on hand and no prospects for any cash flow for the foreseeable future, the Board of Directors is required by Norwegian law to enter the bankruptcy process. The Oslo court will appoint a Receiver who will review the affairs of the Company including the assets, liabilities, and its recent transactions. After a full assessment, the Receiver will make a determination how to enforce any applicable rights, obligations, and obtain the maximum value for its assets in the best interest of the Company.
As the Receiver is a court appointed 3rd party, we can be assured that the Receiver will evaluate all relevant options including any applicable soliciting proposals from interested parties related to the assets of the Company. Funds accumulated through the Receivers’ efforts will be disbursed according to Norwegian law.
As of the date of the filing, the Board of Directors is relieved of duty, and all future matters are in the sole control of the Receiver.
Sincerely,
Madeira Fjord, AS Board of Directors
DET ER STADIG PÅ RYGTEBASIS! Så lade nu være med at piske en stemning op, folk blir da nervøse for deres $...
Handles der stadig % på klienten og evt til hvilken kurs?
Er der nogen der er interesserede i at købe?
Jeg håber så inderligt at de går på røv og albuer, men det er vist allerede sket.
Køber til kurs 2 hvis nogle er intra.
En del High Stakes spillere har sat deres dollars til salg for helt ned til 20%.
Du kan blandt andet købe $300k for 20% af prisen.
Men fandeme uheldigt for dem der har penge på de sites.
Det er vanvittigt den kurs de går til. Alene på 2+2 er der omkring 1mill$ til salg..

Sådan noget pis! Endelig har man kvallet til WSOP ME(inden black friday) men så går går sitet bust
Forsvinder pengene så bare?
Var overbevist om, at ligesom Stars/FTP har meldt ud efter Black Friday, er deres interne økonomi og spillernes indestående helt og aldeles adskildt. Bestemt ved lovgivning..
Er det løgn og humbug?
Sakset fra:

The government also seized five Internet domain names used by the companies, but later relinquished control of those owned by Poker Stars and Full Tilt to facilitate repayment of U.S. players’ deposits.
The former has begun repaying money on deposit to U.S. poker players while the latter has said it is making arrangements to do so.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said it was willing to make a similar deal with Absolute Poker and UB, but no agreement was forthcoming. Nor have the sites been honoring withdrawal requests from non-U.S. players, according to “Fonzi,” who runs the Holdem Poker Chat, an affiliate marketing website that first reported on the bankruptcy announcement.
“The problem is they haven’t paid anyone outside the U.S.,” he said. “You are allowed to request $250 a week — request — but that doesn’t mean you’re going to get it.”
Fonzi, who spoke to msnbc.com on condition that he not be identified by his real name, said he expects that the bankruptcy means that players will never receive the money they deposited with Absolute Poker and UB.
“I already consider my money gone,” he said, adding that he had a “few hundred dollars” on deposit with the sites.
Hvordan fanden finder man dem på 2p2?????
Kan INTET finde, nomatter jeg søger.
"Er det løgn og humbug?"
Ja, det er en meget rammende beskrivelse af UB/AP.
@kentkay
under general poker forum > news views gossip
Der er 3-4 tråde omkring det :)
Hmm, synes ikke jeg kan finde tråden, hvor der sælges/købes $.
Eneste tråd jeg er interesseret i, er der en venlig sjæl der kan linke?
UB/Absolute ska köra vidare i europa läste jag på ett annant community
Var det ikke UB/AP som tilbød 9% i rente på indestående?
Dengang jeg hørte det, ringede alle alarmklokker. Umiddelbart tolkede jeg det som et selskab som ikke kunne låne til de penge i markedet, alternativt kunne forrente pengene til et højere afkast selv (hvilket kun kan være sket med en gigantisk risiko).
Så, alt i alt et skråplan, selvom der kan være mange argumenter for at det kan holde på spillerne. Men, når en virksomhed laver underlige tiltag for at fastholde penge i selskabet, så er det nok en god ide at holde sig fra det.
Jeg tror sgu ikke at mailen som Skipper har kopieret ind er ægte! Det er i hvert fald nogle sære formuleringer!
@Jensen
Jeg mener det var i "gamle dage" man kunne det. Det er vist en del år siden de gav det.
Med et minimum af research vil jeg mene man er meget letsindig hvis man har haft større beløb placeret hos UB/AP.
Prøv bare at søge her på PN - tror jeg sagde det i 2008 : "Fatter ikke at nogen tør betro dem bare en dollar "
Her f.eks: www.pokernet.dk/forum/158449-ub-statement-ang-snyd.html
Sick som nogle i tråden er ret optimistiske mens andre vil sælge 20k for 3k...
Bliver der overhovedet snakket om hvordan spillernes funds er sikret. Og hvordan foreligger det på andre netværks?
