Hello Michael -
I don't think you "deserve" another chance. It's not about how much
rake
you pay us. Your words were (and I quote)

> WHEN I SEE LEE JONES IM GOING TO FUCKING BASH HIS CRANIUM IN WITH A
> WAFFLER

I don't care if you paid us $1000 in rake every week. I don't care if
were
drunk or not - *nobody* deserves that kind of threat. In fact, if you
made
that statement to somebody in person, you'd be committing a crime in
the
state of Illinois. You could get - pay close attention here -
ARRESTED.

Now here's the interesting part. If you made that threat against
*anybody*
else in this organization, there's no way in the world that I'd even
consider reopening your account. I won't let my colleagues be treated
that
way.

But I'm feeling particularly generous, so since *I'm* the one you
threatened, I'm going to give you another chance, and here's how it
goes:

You send a $25 donation to the Heifer Project:

www.heifer.org

They will send you a receipt (in the mail) for the donation. Scan it,
and
send it to me as an email attachment. When I've received that, I'll
reinstate you. You will get *ONE* more chance. After that, if you so
much
as look cross-eyed at any of our staff (myself included) you will be
gone
for keeps.

That's the deal; take it or leave it.

Lee Jones

PokerStars Poker Room Manager

LOL WAFFLER

Fake?

A waffler?

What a strange blunt force weapon to choose there.

no rofl want a screen shot

I think it's real.

I wonder what Lee's affiliation with the Heifer Project is.

Lee Jones seems like a good guy. You're lucky he gave you some way to redeem yourself.

If I were you I would make a bigger donation then what he asked for. Scan the document and attach a note that says - "PLZ LEE NO KILL SWITCH"

How can it be real? He's basically forcing someone to pay [donate] money to keep their account on stars.

lee jones has this type of power? i would think he would have to follow a certain list of rules and precedures to deal with this type of stuff since after all their a company and not some "mom and pop" poker site

He follows his own rules obv. Such a rebel.

I believe it's real. The threat was against Lee himself, and as the manager of Pokerstars, he certainly has the power to allow or disallow someone to chat.

He wasn't asking for a bribe -- just for someone to donate to his favorite charity.

I agree the whole thing is weird, but that's part of what makes that e-mail so entertaining.

wtf is with the goats?

omg i know i looked at the site and almost died lmao

consider this post gay if you want to:


i know we all blame lee for bad beats, even though most of us know he's not actually out for us. i actually respect him more after seeing him give you a second chance.

gayness ended.




insert another gay comment: kyle orton. gayness ended.
