I still have not heard back from seals about my bitcoin withdrawal.
I'm planning on taking legal action against Bryan Micon, and am going to file a complaint with the DOJ about him defrauding me. I don't think I could win a case in court over this, but given Micon's status as a US citizen and his affiliation with an unlicensed online gambling operation, I'm sure he'll be facing some legal issues if I pursue this.
Yikes.
Are you sure it's not just an oversight? I haven't had any issues withdrawing and I haven't heard of anyone else having issues either. Sometimes it takes a day or two (max) because they process withdraws by hand. My guess is that you're jumping the gun here.
Not an oversight as pete played as shitvaccumer and colluded thus he had his bigbtc tournament win confiscated. Gl with your suit Pete. I call bluff on your litigation effort. Try reading the thread pilot would help before you respond with idiotic gibberish its a few posts back.
I see. I see. Yes I saw the shitvaccumer guy griping a few posts back and the accusations of collusion. Out of curiosity, I suppose that there must have been some pretty concrete proof he was cheating if you guys are keeping winnings.
Collusion is a huge problem for online poker and Im glad to see seals taking a hard stance against it.
OTOH you would want some concrete evidence that there had been collusion, ie multiple players on the same table from the same IP.
If you make the argument that the player played uncanny hands, then Id make the same call against Micon....
I played him in the early days of seals, lets just say his hands were absolutely uncanny, I thought it was very suspicious as I knew site operators could see player hands.
I bitched and grumbled, but at the end of the day I wrote it off as Micon being an excellent player, myself being a poor loser and most importantly unprovable.
In short, if they have proof that you have misused their service they are well within their rights to forfeit all your winnings.
If they fail to prove that you have, then they still have the right to refuse you service.
If they have no proof but only suspicion then they should not be confiscating any funds but they should refuse future service.
About to hop on to seals now and have a play.
