From Thorsten's mouth! 30% was held back! His check was for $245K, not 350.
For a bunch of customers you guys dont have two steady feet on the ground.
When I go out and get my $0.75 dance show I put my money to work, by filling the time with all types of customer related questions.
I'm even worse at school, whether Im being a student or a teacher. If I am spending the money I will squeeze it dry to the last drop.
IPT or whoever is running that show I wouldn't have let them so much as sell a merchandise material with me in it without having a lawyer review all the paperwork. And enforce security clauses for my golden parachute.

That wasn't even a option, if you don't want to play, don't play was their answer. Remember KT's now famous quote. "I will have Joe Blow playing on TV for a million dollars if they don't want to play. No one know the difference anyway" Or something very close to that, I don't feel like looking it up. He had them over a barrel and they were afraid of being left out. Once they were hooked the carrot was introduced and the rest is history.
It is real easy now looking back and say they should have done this or that but there is a saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". But you know what, sometimes it is true. As preposterous as the whole thing seemed, what if it worked? I don't think the players have anything to be embarrassed about.

Hmmmm... ...strange... maybe that's why Marlon and Thorsten were so pale in Reno. I've heard Thorsten has ITIN (not from his mouth, but other player had had information about ITIN from Thorsten and Thorsten had answered "it took three months to get it") and the staff said clearly, that if you have ITIN, this 30% will not be cut.
IRS might be wondering where the money went..

At the time, Thorsten did not have an ITIN.
Initially, he and a few other "tax paying" players, chose to have the ipt hold the money until the ITIN could be obtained. After 30 days, I had a bad feeling about the prospect of getting his money and convinced him to forgo the 30% and get his money. I figured it would be easier to get some of the 30% back from the us govt after deductions, than trying to get 70% from the failed IPT.

Ya hit the KT NAIL right on the head with your post...Next time when it pops up lets see if WE can nail it.
Why do I think there may be a one year Statue of Limitations on sueing in Illinois? After one year, the players may have missed the boat on taking action to get the balance of what is owed them paid. So, after September 10, it may be too late to file against Trudeau and his various enterprises. I'll bet he knows.

It looks like 5 years might be the number.

Thanks Wayne. That appears correct for Fraud or breach of Oral contract. You think he can string the pool players along for that long. lol
KTs reputation suggests he is very good inmate knowledge of certain legal practices.
Its unfortunate an individual would turn to such a life. But it could be worse, he couldve left the country. I guess the good ole boy will preserve his comfort in this country.

The critical phrase in that "promise" would be "as cash flow allows". Meaning, when he has the money, he'll pay whatever amount he deems possible. If not, you're out of luck.
Though I do believe one part of the statement: That all players will be paid in full before the next IPT tournament. Of course, I don't believe there will be another IPT tournament, ever. So I have my doubts about anyone receiving the "full amount" from the California Con-Man.
Its a sigh of relief to here this guy making more promises and not talking what he is going to do to dig himself out of this one.
His first few promises he came through. Second batch not so hot due to unexpected errors like the Ho deal and govt legislation. Third batch I guess one just has to give the guy a chance, he has a lot on his plate.
Consdering he has had time to release a new book, send out several emails discussing his vision and update the IPT website.
