Well
certain people that try to 'get out of' a situation usually put time and distance between them and the people after them.
When is someone going to file a lawsuit against him?????????? Anyone remember the film, 'And Justice for all' with Al Pacino?

I think I might have found him
I think I found some video of KT after being asked about the situation.

Might be a good solution!

Is this it?

Here's a recent email from Kevin Trudeau.
Dear IPT Players & Supporters,
Here are some updates regarding the IPT. The IPT is not over. The dream of building a professional major billiards tour is alive and well. The setbacks and struggles we have faced have been very real and quite large. Slowly and steadily the executive management team of the IPT has been diligently working on overcoming these challenges, revamping the IPT business model, and reorganizing the IPT to move forward. We are all frustrated by the lack of speed in this turnaround. However, please be encouraged with the knowledge that a reorganized, and re-energized IPT will launch soon. In the words of Napolean Hill “In all adversity there are the seeds of an equal and greater opportunity.” My personal desire to see the IPT as the major world-wide tour in pool is stronger now than ever before. Specifically, the major updates are as follows:
All players from the World Open will continue to be paid each month or every other month as cash flow allows. You will all be paid in full before the next IPT tournament.
All players who paid a qualifying entry fee will be refunded in full their entry fee if the 2007 Tour does not happen in full as we originally planned. If the tournament schedule is cut short or modified, which is very likely to be the case, we will refund you in full. Your patience regarding this is appreciated. We will make this up to you in the future. We should know the status of the 2007 Tour within the next several months.
Your support and patience is appreciated. Your frustration and disappointment is acknowledged. Nobody is more financially committed to this venture than me. Nobody has more money at stake than I do.
Currently we are making headway on several promising business fronts. Major companies are seriously evaluating sponsorship of the IPT for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. A merger or acquisition of the IPT by a large business is being evaluated. Concurrently taking the IPT public is also an option being worked on and discussed.
I clearly see in my mind the day when I will stand before you all in a players meeting as we begin our next tournament and proudly say that the IPT is back and here to stay!
Very truly yours,
Kevin Trudeau

That's a long read so here's a quick summary without the Trudeau-speak.
- The IPT is a dream, not a reality.
- The IPT management team work slowly.
- Be encouraged that we have another rip-off plan in the pipeline.
- Despite my promises, guarantees and the millions of $'s I have in the bank I'll continue to drip feed your winnings from Reno in monthly installments or maybe bi-monthly installments if I feel like it.
- You will all be paid in full before if pigs fly (but only if you actually see a pig fly).
- Currently we are talking to businesses but none of them are daft enough to sponsor an event with such a bad name so we are trying to sell the IPT off to some suckers. There's plenty of them around, I should know, they bought my book.
- I still dream about the day when I stand before you in a players meetings and proudly say to myself... 'silly ****ers will believe anything, suckers!'

you may know "something", but I doubt more than I know. Kt just bailed his ass out again, finally sending the foreign players (atleast one) a federal tax receipt. It was only 2 months past the mandated feb, date, and now has nearly escaped SERIOUS federal charges. You can tell him I said, too bad.

Randy, I am curious to know if he did, in fact, send the IRS the 30% he held back from Thorsten and Efren and several other filipino players. He has a serious problem if he did not. Spell that FEDERAL, INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE!!!
I have been reading on this since I started viewing the thread (honestly it's the main reason I first joined) because I was hoping to get into one of the qualifiers but it sounds like it's a very shady and shaky institution.
So yeah, I dunno, sounds like KT is a con-man who decided to hustle pool players and realized it was harder than the people who bought all his 'Diet' books......I could be wrong though.

Not being a lawyer, but someone that has dealt with serious collection issues in the State of Illinois, at the very least, a formal objection to this latest effort to renegotiate the payment schedule, ie "as cash allows" needs to be made.
Again, I'm not a lawyer, but if no one says anything before another payment is made, this latest bit of garbage might be defined as being accepted.
Maybe there are legal precidents that allow for more patience and more time, but I am not aware of them.
If it is true that one of the biggest problems was that sponsors were unwilling to get on board, I think it is obvious that it was because of the affiliation with Kevin Trudeau and certainly not the game of pool.
Personally, I was able to separate the two, but perhaps the reality is that the public was not.
Pool is a far bigger world than people like KT and such.

In simplistic terms, it looks to me like the IPT is/was nothing more than a grand "multi-level marketing" scheme. Similar to the likes of Amway way back when. Designed for one thing.... to make the people at the top, money.
Glad I didn't put in for a qualifier.

And if you are from the IPT John how do you explain these comments following the cancellation of the IPT London open?

Moneybags, if someone uses a screen name here on the forums then that is their right. It not another user's right to broadcast who that user is.
It is also definitely not within the rules of the site to send threatening PMs to fellow users.
This is your one and only warning about this.
Mike
