USPPA Reno players, did they get paid?

Why don't you take a long look at where my neighborhood is and then you would understand my comment.

I hope you understand the culture of where I am from. Yours is one of the great comments when people meet on the internet.

Americans believe in innocence until proven guilty.

I am familiar with the anti-government sentiments of the area. Some of your presidents go shopping in my neighborhood, and they like to close the store when they shop. I am referring to New York City and the famous shoe lady of the Philippines.
 
The last time I went to Tony's new room, the Two Cushion Club in Fairfield, there was a crappy RV parked next to the entrance. Kinda got the impression someone was living in it, not sure who. Not that it is the nicest room or area anyways, but the RV really made it look like a piece of sh*t.
 
Maybe some of the players got paid but that is only maybe half guilty????

Your presidents? Ha!

You are really an idiot if you think I'm a Filipino because I happen to reside in the Philippines. WOW!

I'm sure you made a lot of Filipino's extremely happy by saying that crap.

I only pointed out that cuffing players over here would not be a thing you would want to do. Hello!!!!

The detail of the room being new is more striking. That has the scent of wanting to impress new clients or "investors" or players.

Talking strong has to happen otherwise the recruits think your a girl. Just wait and see how they play it out. Usually the rookies don't know the script for situations they shouldn't be in.
 
Its weird, because I was wonder the same thing. I noticed that recently, the name now includes a ",inc." after it. I don't think it used to have that; they may have recently incorporated. Can a corporation have a PO Box as an address? I thought it had to be a physical address. Also, I just searched the Sacramento County records for the USPPA as a Registered Fictitious Business Name and there isn't one. :eek:

It's listed with the CA department of corporations as "United States Pool Players Association" - here's a link:

http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/cbs.aspx

The address listed is Folsom, CA. The agent of service listed is an attorney in San Francisco.

If prizes are not paid in a reasonable time frame, this would be important information for legal claims.

A friend of mine received phone call Tony and "Got some more run around stories" then Tony said he is trying to pay "2ND HALF OF THOSE WINNERS FIRST" Never mention anything about that $9,900 entire feeds and $15,000 added money.:eek: after 1 month passed on Peppermill Tournament.

Entity Number Date Filed Status Entity Name Agent for Service of Process
C3109265 06/17/2009 ACTIVE UNITED STATES POOL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION, INC. ROBERT I SIMON

It is listed under corporation meaning the operators or executives are not financially responsible for failures to render service or funds. If the guy paid himself with company money then gets sued at the civil level he does not have to pay anyone. If sued at the corporate level he can go bankrupt.

For a fleshier definition of INC visitL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_(business).

That's basically correct.

You're right. It is listed as a Folsom address (looks like a residence) which is in El Dorado not Sacramento County. It looks like they incorporated on 6/17/2009.
El Dorado County doesn't show fictitious business names online, but they do show active business licenses and there doesn't appear to be a listing there. It would be interesting to see who the owner(s) is/are.

You the probably the most prolific poster on this thread yet add absolutely minimal or no value to the thread ... just sayin'

Welcome to my ignore list ...

The 6/17/2009 is just the date of the statement filing (It will have to be renewed to stay on active status).

Robert Simon is an attorney, so most likely he is not a shareholder.

The corporate entity does not need a dba to do business as long as the use the corporate name. Technically they probably should have a dba for the abbreviation USPPA, but it's probably not absolutely necessary.

If payments are not made in a reasonable time period, the best recourse is small claims. Demand the payment to both addresses shown, than file in whatever county Folsom is in, include travel expenses, court costs and filing fees, and have the papers served on Robert Simon. The shareholders should be named in the lawsuit as well. They will not be allowed to be represented in court by an attorney. (I just looked up Folsom and it showed Sacramento County)

Once judgement is obtained, conduct an asset search and lien back accounts. Judgements are good for 10 years and easily renewed after that. Small claims can be done at reasonable costs, although it's a hassle.

Hmm, this seems to say it is necessary:


Fictitious Business Name (FBN) Filings

The purpose of registering a Fictitious Business Name with the County clerk is to ensure that consumers have access to the true name and address of the owners of a business.

* Fictitious Business Name Statements must be filed before you begin your business or within 40 days of your first transaction.
* A filed Fictitious Business Name Statement is effective for five years.
* Fictitious Business Name Statements must be filed in the county in which the principal place of business is based.
* An applicant may have more than on FBN and there may be more than one registrant per Fictitious Business Name.
* Registration of a Fictitious Business Name Statement DOES NOT guarantee exclusive use of that name; applicants are responsible for ensuring that the chosen Fictitious Business Name does not duplicate a current registration or violate any trademark protocols.
* All information on the Fictitious Business Name Statements filed with the County clerk is public record pursuant to the California Public Record Act including the residence address.
* Be certain the information in the statement is correct and complete before filing it. Once your statement has been filed, changes to that filing CANNOT be made, and NO REFUNDS ARE ISSUED.

More detailed information is available at www.leginfo.ca.gov - Business and Professions Code section 17900 - 17930 and 14411 - 14418 and Government Code section 6020 - 6027, 6040 & 6064.

Here is a form that would be completed for Santa Clara County and it has a check-box for entity type Corporation:

That is USPPA but on the , http://www.usppa.com/index.html, the copyright is held by "2010 USPPA, Inc."

Could be a flip flopper, same hustle new name?

There is a USPPA that is a paragliding association.
 
Yes it is. Now that is weird.

I remember a while back where Memo said he was the owner of the USPPA and I just thought he was kidding. He must have really registered the name as his in Santa Clara County. I wonder if anyone else owns the USPPA in other Counties?

The name is in AZ. Maybe his character is to pose as an investor, to get insight into the community send a fisher later for hooking and then pull the cash out at a time when needed to prop up other businesses.

I wouldn't be surprised if hype teams were also sent, to survey other regions.
