However, to me, the syntax and punctuation tells me it was him (he?). Also, like I said earlier, who would hire someone that didn't proofread for typos, etc.? :p I think he was rushing and wanted to get the email back to me.

I think every wise person thinks so too.



Or maybe there's public access in his offices general internet computer, and the janitor might have answered..?

hmmmmm...?

If a sponsor were to view some of the antics in this thread, it would be a big turnoff.

How about if a sponsor were to hear that the IPT isn't paying out its prize money? That might be a bigger turnoff than whatever a couple people in a web forum might say. ;)
 
I agree with Timberly... I was also looking for all these posts attacking her, and except for the first (which I thought was out of line) and Jake's (who automatically gets excused for entirely different reasons), I couldn't find all the animosity.

Linda, I was ready to jump to your defense, but I couldn't see most of the attacks. :)

Also, I don't know what sponsors everyone seems to be talking about. In 1 year, regardless of if the IPT makes it or not, I suspect a poll of the Fortune 100 would yield a 98% rate of "What is an IPT?"

Linda - you're my friend and I expressed to you privately how I feel about this entire situation. I honestly believe that any reasonably intelligent person can see that something is wrong and that everybody is being lied to. I believe that after all of this time and the multiple excuses they have used so far - that its a safe bet that the IPT is in deep financial chaos. I understand your position, Linda, however your loyalty isn't going to earn you much at this point. It would probably be wise to not comment at all to avoid being criticized for everything you say by people that don't understand that you were trying to relay the only information you had received from Trudeau.

Like I said to you in private, when you make a deal with the devil, its always tilted in the devil's favor. The only LOGICAL reason that a company will be 30+ days late on payments such as these is because there is no money. Believe me, that's what's going on here. Maybe they will do something to cough it up quickly and everyone will get paid - but how much faith or trust should you reasonably have with a business entity that operates like that? Then add in the fact that they have changed their story several times. As your friend, I empathize with your situation, while at the same time I struggle with the way this situation has caused the person I care about most about in this world to turn his back on what he loves to do. IMO, that sucks - and it breaks my heart to see that - and it breaks my heart how quickly some people turned their backs on him. Knowing how all of that went down and how it easy it was for some of the players to do that, I hope that this non-payment situation is the end result of the IPT and that it finally exposes Kevin Trudeau for the $hitbag that he is to all you that were dumb enough to have faith in him.

Now if you'll excuse me, my mega-memory just reminded me that I have some crocodile protein peptide shakes swirling in my electromagnetic stress reducer blender. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Got to honestly say that I too searched this thread several times trying to find anyone saying that Linda had lied or attacking her.The number of people who sprang to Linda's defence without even bothering to check who/what they were actually defending her against is in itself ample testament to the high regard that folks have for her and it's pretty clear that she didn't ned to explain herself to 99.9% (possibly 100%) of us.

Interpretation of the spirit or thrust of posts in threads is as we all know much more difficult than face to face as you can't see the expression on the poster's face etc.

Anyway,thanks for your input on this Linda,it's been very interesting and maybe we could discuss a different aspect now that your honour seems to have been adequately defended....all these white chargers must by now be making a dreadful mess on the carpet:)

If I am understanding your info properly,you got an automated answer saying he was away and couldn't answer til 13th Oct followed 6 minutes later by the reply you posted earlier.Did you by any chance check the full headers to see if the
2nd reply came from the same computer as the first? If it did it would seem that you could have caught him just as he was leaving.If it didn't it would seem to be a remarkable coincidence that after taking the trouble to programme his service for being away and unable to reply for 3 days,that he would be logged in and checking mail from his 'away' location at the very moment you e mailed him and that,to some,might increase the likelihood that it may not in fact have been him who replied.

What do you think Linda?
 
This is one amazing thread. Linda sends the guy an e-mail and she gets a response. Maybe total BS, maybe not. She posts it here and everyone flips out.

BOTTOM LINE - Nothing has changed! Rumors are flying, players are hoping and praying, and no one has been paid.

Just a little more fodder for the grist mill. I'd say we should let this one go now, IMHO.
 
I think the IPT under KT is dead. I think the Ho buy for a 150 mill is a flat out lie. If Ho were smart he would start his own tour. The IPT is the biggest crock of sh#t since the communist manifesto.

I hope I'm wrong. I really do.
 
Linda go see Eydie's post

Eydie' post "My visit to the IPT Office....Deno" shows that there is still a pulse - "There's Hope"

I just emailed my buddy, Kevin Trudeau :p .... Kevin, what can you tell me about the status of checks? Chicago? Is there any hope? Thank you!

And he got back to me instantly with this reply: (Copied and pasted)

Dear IPT Players,

This is to update you on player payouts for the World Open, the Ho
Casino.com acquisition, and the Masters Tournament in Chicago.

First, and most important is player payouts from the World Open. All players
will be paid within the shortest amount of time! We are in final
negotiations and planning on executing documents relating to the Ho
Interactive acquisition of the IPT. I deeply regret that the player payouts
have had to be put on hold until this acquisition has been officially
completed. I totally understand and acknowledge your frustration and
concern. Please be aware that unfortunately this was an unavoidable
situation due to many factors that are extremely complex in relation to the
enormous nature of this deal. This short-term annoyance and inconvenience is
a one-time situation. Your patience and understanding is needed and
appreciated. We are working around the clock and all weekend to finalize the
transaction. I will communicate with you again on Tuesday with what I hope
to be the announcement that the deal is done and checks are being sent out!
Please know that over 30 lawyers and accountants in the U.S., London, Hong
Kong, and several other countries are involved in this transaction. There
are over 1000 pages of contracts and documents that are being negotiated and
reviewed. Tax implications, international treaties, securities issues, and
several other factors involving publicly traded corporations etc. all are
involved and implicated in this type of business transaction. I wish it were
as easy as me paying players myself, but this is legally unacceptable at
this time. We are 100% committed to getting this done which will be best for
the long-term future of the IPT. Our goal is to complete the acquisition and
get all players paid immediately so that we can focus on the Chicago
tournament and the future. Our plans are to bring the company public in
January. Because of this hiccup and delay in paying players, I am working
out something where all players who played in IPT events will be gifted
something very special when the business goes public! Your patience will be
rewarded. Remember, I have personally invested over $10 million dollars of
my own money into this venture. I am 100% committed to its success.

Thank you all for your understanding during this time.

Sincerely,

Kevin Trudeau,
Founder, IPT

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Sure looks like more unadulterated garbage to me.
There may be hope, but not based on anything he says here.

It's an announcement about an announcement. Another way to look at it is that he placed a new carrot on the stick. I sincerely hope that Tue provides us with a final answer, a new owner, and mailed checks.... I'm tired of carrots. ;)
