Bodog's Domain Names Confiscated

From the Bodog players (myself included) I think I could say "Play it cool. A lot cooler".

Frankly, I don't understand why he even bothers with the whole mess. I mean if I had a Billion I'd just go buy a Beach or a whole island, lie out in the sun with a bunch ladies in bikinis serving me all kinds of colored drinks.
It makes me dizzy just thinking about it.

He doesn't have a billion. He doesn't have anything close to a billion. The idea that he was a billionaire was based on the way stock market worth is calculated, i.e. using a multiple of earnings over a period of years. That's a completely ridiculous way of calculating the worth of a person who could be doing 20 years within the next few months and with his business shut down.

He's a head case. That's probably the most accurate answer you are going to get. Try and find out whose going to pay you out when you want to withdraw, Bodog or Modog.

You probably just gave him an idea for a new name. Better patent it ASAP!

Just for clarity, I can no longer find terms like mincemeat in the original link to Calvin's blog on page 11. It may just be me........or I will simply ask this and it may clear my confusion:Has Calvin altered his original Sept.07,2007 blog?(If so as I think, maybe you are saying the article still contains implied violence sections although the original blog has been amended)...SIDENOTE:either way, I realize my confusion is trivial to the subject matter.

Yes Bodog has a big problem with payouts now; so does almost every Casino, I try to play at. But the DOJ wants Bodog first to kick the ready lined up dominoes and collapse the Industry's presence in the U.S. .The DOJ is holding Bodogs head underwater targeting every connection they have to the States. This domain tactic was very likely engineered by the DOJ.

I read somewhere that the estimation of his being a Billionaire was down graded to something more like 3 or 400 million. In which case if it was mine I'd just by a Beach instead of an Island. (same number of ladies and drinks though)

I wouldn't want to say for sure about his mental state. You obviously have a much greater insight having known him personally. His first Blog didn't help his image any. I would have expected a white collar and strictly business statement from him. I've read everything you've posted and wrote on the Cold Eye, and although it is all very articulate and based on known facts as far as I can tell, there is a hint of 'Vendetta' in it. Maybe you have good cause but you have to be careful because the tone can be perceived and can reduce your credibility. You've got me interested so far and will be hoping you hear from Morris.

My thanks above is pursuant to this part of your post above and well said.

Yes, you are right on the US government. Not sure its the DOJ right now. But I do know for a fact that some branch of the US government has been helpful to 1st Technology. Probably in a small way that they might for any US corporation being damaged by a foreign entity.

There is something very odd about the relationship between Ayre and the DOJ. They have everything they need to indict him. I mean, not many people confess on national television and in Forbes magazine. Canada will extradite him in a heartbeat if the Yanks ask. He says he was in the Dominican Republic a while back. That's where Kaplan was nicked and he was gone in a day or two, but Ayre walks free. Something is not right, but I can't put my finger on it right now.

Maybe he's cut a deal to sell out the Mohawks.

The Irish don't have vendettas. We have politics and revenge. Vendettas are for Italians, God bless them.

Yes, you're right Nash. I've looked at it again and the first blog entry has been toned down. He's removed the reference to Buddy's ancestors having scalped 56 Americans for instance.

But Lewis and his lawyers already have the violent version. I made sure I saved it over the weekend because I knew that once the straw fell out of his nose, he'd realize what he'd done and try and backtrack.

The good thing is that we can all be sure that Calvin keeps a very personal eye on Casinomeister for a change.

That was the stupidest thing I've read all morning, and HgB knows better. 14 day suspension - and that was strike two.

Yes, of course, Casinomeister. This is by far the most objective discussion concerning Bodog on any forum, with perhaps the exception of OGD, that I have seen. Reasonable, intelligent discussion about who and what Calvin Ayre really is. What a breath of fresh air!
And in the spirit of this refreshing approach to the truth, I can tell you that my source for the info about Ayre's sister Anita being the "figurehead" owner of several Bodog entities in CR is a reporter in San Jose, CR, who has seen the paperwork. I am in possesion of several e-mails between he and myself, concerning the involvement of Ayre's sister.
Obviously I am not going to mention this person's name on this or any forum, considering Ayre's perceived, or real, connection to organized crime groups! And considering the semi-lawless conditions currently existing in Costa Rica.
However, I will make this correspondence available to you, sir, as you obviously have respect for the truth and the credibility of your forum. PM me if you wish.
As to the remarks from the poster who politely suggested Paddy has some sort of "vendetta", I would suggest he read the other stories concerning Ayre on the ColdEye blog. Of course the man has a vested interest in exposing Ayre for the sham that he is. Ayre and other family members of his employed ruthless and hateful tactics in order to "win" a child custody case involving Ayre's sister and Paddy's brother and two innocent children. Those tactics have been exposed as blatant lies, by Ayre's family psychologist and the Vancouver Police Dept.
None of those issues detract, however, from the general thrust of Paddy's claims that Ayre is of extremely bad character, and has brought the online gaming community to it's knees. And really, it's on it's knees simply because Ayre thought it was "all about him"! "Catch Me If You Can"!
I think it is wonderful beyond belief when a person of Ayre's ilk is knocked off his fraudulent pedestal. Does it matter if Paddy's "agenda" is to right wrongs that Ayre committed fifteen years ago. No, of course not. We should all applaud the efforts of the Paddy's among us. What's the alternative, to let Ayre continue, unopposed, his deceitful scams on an unsuspecting public. I can tell you Paddy has taken a lot of abuse from Calvin supporters the last year or so. A lot of abuse. But he has persevered. Relentlessy! And where are Calvin's lackeys now? Silence! The silence is deafening.
Ayre has had it his way for a long, long time. And now it is crumbling for him. He is not handling his fall from grace well. Like another poster suggested, Bodog should be handling the domain lawsuit in a professional manner, respectfully and courteously. But No. The big baby had his lollipop taken away, and now he responds with veiled threats and blatant dis-respect. To the man whom the courts have ruled that Ayre stole from! Unbelievable. Poor poor, widdle Calvin.

They have everything they need to indict him.

I'm sure there are a pile of sealed indictments waiting for him by now. They just haven't been made public.

The DOJ knows who he is. There is no way he has flown under the radar. Sooner or later he'll go to some US extradition friendly country with some "freinds" who will stab him in the back and tip off the DOJ to his presence or some scenario like that. Maybe he'll start feeling the heat and try to cut a deal.

They'll get ahold of him sooner or later. He's not going to be able to pull a Marc Rich or a Roman Polanski becuase it looks like the DOJ is far more interested in toppling online gambling barons than going after trators or child molesters... there's a lot more money in it.

Hey, I'm just saying!
Shucks, I'm sorry. It just struck me that he was probably in those "sex tourist" countries in furtherance of his work with the modestly titled "Calvin Ayre Foundation". You know, helping all those poor kids.
Hey, maybe that's why the DOJ is giving him a pass. Maybe he is undercover, gathering evidence on all the scum over there who are exploiting children. Because he did say in that Globe and Mail article that he fashioned himself as a James Bond type character. Hey, I'm just saying!

Okay, this is not cool. The quickest way to have a thread upgraded to "closed" is to start making defamatory statements. Alluding that Calvin is having sex with underage kids is way out of line. That is the first and last warning.
