Deno's quarterly bonus

[huckster]

I have obtained information from a very reliable source as to Mr. Andrews quarterly bonus from IPT/Natural Cures. It surprised me a bit that he was given a bonus from Kevin when the players have not been paid in full. I am attempting to find out his yearly salary and compensation package. For those of you who may say that it is none of my buisness what Mr. Andrews is being paid I beg to differ. I have some friends who are unpaid and the day to day corporate head is given a low five figure quarterly bonus? I find that despicable. In big buisness it is not uncommon for executives to get a yearly bonus that is well above the yearly salary of the other employees in that corporation even if the buisness is failing. I had one transaction with Deno and he seemed like an oppurtunist, but not cut from the same rotten cloth as the Kevin Trudeau's of the world.
I had many chances to get involved financially with the IPT, by giving some financial support and entering into a partnership with some great players, and I balked. Like Jay Helfert I have warned my friends to be careful and not put too much into chasing a dream that they have worked years to make it a reality. I was given his bonus information, because I ehave expressed interest in the IPT situation. Frankly I was appaled. I have lived my life to some extremes finacially, but I never compromised my morals. If Deno was a man and not a puppet he would tell Kevin to shove his bonus (even typing that word while good people are awaiting full payment sickens me) and do the right thing. Deno has betrayed the pool world.

Don't get me wrong... but think about it!

When jesus put ointment on his feet, it rubbed some apostles the wrong way. They said: we should give the money we can get for the ointment to the poor. Jesus answered.. ( this is the short version) so i have to feel bad aswell because they do not have any... if i would give them all my stuff they still would be hungry.

I believe this guy went to heaven anyway!

If Deno out of principal would refuse the bonus i would tap real loud for him. But i can understand if he takes it... because not taking it so some players would get paid is like bringing water to the sea! By the way... there is a difference by understandig something and thinking that they have reason to do so!

So the Apostles were holier than Thou - a very mortal characteristic.

Huckster,
While I'm not a fan of Deno's, this thread amounts to unsubstantiated gossip and hearsay. Given the poor financial performance of the IPT over the past year, I would guess that it's highly unlikely that Deno got a bonus.

Please verify your information before you defame people and engage in gossip and innuendo.

In other words, a typical post in this forum, these days. :/

You got that right. There's not much give and take on this forum. It's like attending a friends backyard barbecue and chit chatting with a flame thrower.

Absolutely, out house lawyers who muck rake and take rumors, hearsay and innuendo as facts and expand on them.

If DA got a bonus he should commision an image consultant and lose that bowl cut hair do.

In addition he hasn't been very busy scheduling or directing tournements lately.....perfect time to hit the gym and shed some fluff. Most girlies like their men lean an mean vs the pillsberry dough boy look.

buisness what Mr. Andrews is being paid I beg to differ.

Yes, it is none of your business.

If payment is true, good for Deno. Deno had to make a choice, he probably did, so live with it. It is not going to be taken back, no matter what happens.

Deno is entitled to whatever Kevin wants to give him. It is not your problem.

Players had a choice to stay "grounded" or live with the "dreams." The Players made a choice. Unfortunately, they also have to live with it.

I say so what. No doubt, many will question whether Deno deserved his bonus, but I will not form any opinion on the matter.

His bonus was deemed approriate by his employer. Deno is hardly the first person ever paid a bonus by a company in a period in which it lost money and accumulated substantial liabilities.

When I was hired into my current job, a clause in my employment contract guaranteed that my bonus would be at least a specified amount of money in my first year. Perhaps Deno signed a similar contract. Darned if I know, and of course, it's none of my business.

I'm sure that this bonus will be viewed by some as further evidencing an IPT predisposition to route its moneys anywhere but toward the players, but I'd call that nitpicking.
