I think that is right. They could just add up all the inputs to your accounts - and let you prove up the rest.
But surely someone by this time has talked to Neteller to find out exactly what the DOJ has requested they turnover. Surely someone has a contact at Neteller.
Also, what is Navigant doing? I think they are just looking at the transfer - not the whole database. Certainly we should be able to get some clarification. There isn't a law against communicating with the customers.
Maybe Navigant is making sure US players are flagged so that Neteller doesn't use them anymore.
I don't recall PayPal turning over any customer list. I do think they paid a big fine of some sort.
Can no one reach a
VP?
Stanford.
PS - Here is an article about the PayPal settlement. I suppose there is a big difference because there where no frozen funds as PayPal had already quite allowing gaming transactions. But they must have had some investigation of a "forensic" nature to arrive at the amount of profits to be turned over. And we never had any blowback back to the customer.
NT should be able to tell us if they are going to be much different than PayPal. Anyone know a
VP? Have a contact? Anyone? Bueller?
