Issue #142
weekly
Dear Reader,
What a beautiful day. The cheery chirping birds are returning to our village. The snow that has just about completely melted away only remains in the shady places. But on some nearby hills, there is just enough to go play hooky and go sledding with the kids.
Hooky: an interesting term. Perhaps derived from a usage of "to hook" meaning to escape. I hope that most of you reading this newsletter read it as a means of escapism, escaping from the "realities" of the jerk next to your cubicle at work. Or from the oppressive workaholic boss that smirks "Weekends are for wimps! Quit your sniveling!!" Or for the few of you remaining at home, I hope this newsletter brings you good cheer allowing you to flee from the naggy wife, whinny husband, or abusive children. So c'mon, grab a hot cup o' java and escape with me...
Fleetingly yours,
Bryan

I am not one to be taken advantage of, and I will not tolerate players who use me and my services fraudulently. Taking care of a players' problems is a serious investment of time and resources. And most players are on the up-and-up, but there is an unscrupulous bunch who are out to scam the casinos and who are either untruthful or deceptive when it comes to dealing with me. This section is dedicated to them.

3. This week's humor From the Archives:
A drunk stumbles along a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the river.
He proceeds to walk down into the water and stand next to the preacher. The minister turns and notices the old drunk and says, "Mister, are you ready to find Jesus?"
The drunk looks back and says, "Yes, Preacher, I sure am."
The minister then dunks the fellow under the water and pulls him right back up. "Have you found Jesus?" the preacher asked.
"Nooo, I didn't!" said the drunk.
The preacher then dunks him under for quite a bit longer, brings him up and says, "Now, brother, have you found Jesus?"
"Noooo, I have not, Reverend."
The preacher in disgust holds the man under for at least 30 seconds this time, brings him out of the water and says in a harsh tone, "My God, man, have you found Jesus yet?"
The old drunk wipes his eyes and says to the preacher, "Are you sure this is where he fell in?"

RIPPLES SPREAD FROM WINDOW'S SPAM
Database was stolen, but still in use
The theft of a player database that belonged to Grand Banks Casino and was left in the safekeeping of provider Real Time Gaming continued to produce new surprises this week, although the alleged Latvian webmaster culprit has still not been identified.
Early in the week several players complained that they were still getting follow-up email traffic from Friedman's Windows Casino despite the fact that he now clearly knows the database was stolen (Friedman claims he innocently bought the database from an unknown Latvian webmaster)
The speculation is that regardless of the dubious origins of the database Friedman has embedded it into the Windows records and continues to use it in attempts to persuade players to gamble at his casino, which competes with Grand Banks for business. The ethical and decent thing to do here would be to expunge this illegally supplied and private information completely.
Confusing the issue even further, an informant has told us that in fact this database has been touted around over the past couple of months with a somewhat extravagant price tag of $25 000. The identity of the seller is known (and it appears that he is not Latvian) and the information has been passed on to the aggrieved Grand Banks Casino for whatever follow-up action they wish to take. It is, after all alleged to be their database that is being hawked around. This could result in further fireworks and embarrassment for some of the parties involved in this disturbing player information security dispute.
